Re: [R] Graphics not working for R in ubuntu
You can't run the Windows GUI in Ubuntu (unless you run it in a Windows virtual machine). Try installing rkward and using rkward for an alternative (you will probably be pleasantly surprised): sudo apt-get install rkward rkward http://rkward.sourceforge.net/ -Mose On Fri, Jul 18, 2008 at 11:09 PM, Nataraj [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear list members, I have installed R in Ubuntu successfully but issuing command like R in terminal will able to see only the R working in command mode, the regular GUI which I use to have in my windows installation of R missing in linux..I am new to linux and so clueless how I can go about that and How I could enable it in linux?

The Windows GUI you are used to is exactly that: a GUI created specifically for Windows. A Linux installation does run in a terminal. Tasks you are used to having menu entries for, such as loading packages, can be accomplished with their commands, ie. 'library()'. Have you tried a simple plot command? This should automatically open the default graphics device (X11). For a GUI under Linux, you have a number of choices including (X)emacs+ESS; JGR; RKward; and, of course, RCmdr. See the 'R GUI Projects' page on your favourite CRAN site. Hope this helps.

Re: [R] Graphics not working for R in ubuntu
As others have mentioned, there is no official GUI for R under Linux. I suggest you have a look at the Related Projects area of the R Project web site, there is a link to a section devoted to GUIs. I would personally recommend the Emacs + ESS combo as a powerful (if not entirely intuitive at first) interface to R. Both softwares are in the Ubuntu repositories, so installation is a simple apt-get away. Finally, please have a look at the R on Ubuntu README: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/ Best, Vincent Le sam. 19 juil. à 02:09, Nataraj a écrit : Dear list members, I have installed R in Ubuntu successfully but issuing command like R in terminal will able to see only the R working in command mode, the regular GUI which I use to have in my windows installation of R missing in linux..I am new to linux and so clueless how I can go about that and How I could enable it in linux?
