Hello
On Squeeze, am wanting to use front end to R (RKWard).
Error msg is: "R backend requests information" with a text box titled
"Selection".
I don't know what it is looking fo and attempt to provide paths (e.g.
/usr/lib/R, and so on) but nothing takes. Then click cancel and the
program crashes.
Error on console is:
======

Failed to connect to socket /tmp/fam-ag-

Why on earth would I need gam_server? Whenever that thing stirs my
memory usage goes up significantly. I've had to disable the damn
thing. Anyway, I re-enabled the gam_server and restarted RKWard and the
same thing again. This time in the text box I entered the path to the
gam_server, but no good, so clicked cancel and RKWard crashed.
This time though, the terminal output simply read "segmentation fault",
without further info.
Anyone have any clues what this may be about? I have used RKWard fine
on Lenny, so am used to it, but am happy to try out another GUI for R if
someone has suggestions? I'm not a "hard-core" R user to try it on the
CLI only!! Either this or a suggestion on how to get RKWard working on
my machine.
BTW, yes R works fine - despite my CLI diffidence, I can run a few tests
and yes R works fine. It is definitely the interface.
Now I'm off to disable that darn gam_server again.
TIA
