 Hi Ross!

 I use Ubuntu and instaling R using Synaptic. In this software have this
 observation about GnomeGUI:

 As of R 2.1.0, this interface is no longer provided with the upstream
 sources. As such, this package is now an empty stub that will be removed
 in a subsequent revision of the Debian package.

 So I think  gnomeGUI not instalable in R now...

This is almost entirely misinformation.  gnomeGUI is a package on CRAN 
(and has been for a couple of years), and can be installed just like any 
other package.  Like several others, it requires R to have been configured 
with --enable-R-shlib.

Please file a bug report on the Debian package that is misleading you.

[GNOME has moved on since gnomeGUI was written, and you may well find that 
you need to install older GNOME components to make use of it.]

At the configure stage.  You must add --enable-R-shlib to the call to
configure so that R is also built as a shared library.  Try running
configure with the --help flag first to see all the possible options.

Reconfiguring and recompiling will probably not, by itself, allow you
to build the gnomeGUI.  You may need to install some of the GNOME
development packages from RPM's before this package can compile
successfully.   You may want to consider if learning emacs and ESS is
a better use of your time.

[R] error installing packages

2007-03-07 Thread Bricklemyer, Ross S

I was finally able to get R to 'configure', 'make', and 'install' on Mandriva 
2007.  Itried to install gnomeGUI and I received an error.  See below.  At what 
step do I make R a shared library?  Where did I go wrong?
