Hernan, I agree that it is a problem.
To detect the R installation path is complicated. Under Windows, you should be able to extract a key in the registry to know where the program is installed. Under linux, as there is x64 and x32 R versions, and Pharo supports only x32 (but x64 soon), if you have a R x64 you should reinstall your whole Linux system to have the right libraries (I tried without success…). I think that to set the libraries available to download on a server is currently a better idea. Do you know where it can be hosted? Cheers, Vincent De : Pharo-users [mailto:pharo-users-boun...@lists.pharo.org] De la part de Hernán Morales Durand Envoyé : mardi 16 décembre 2014 20:05 À : Any question about pharo is welcome Objet : Re: [Pharo-users] [ANN] RProjectConnector V1.0 Vincent, First of all, thank you for publishing such useful package. This is a very valuable contribution and I would be glad to contribute to the RProjectConnector project. There is one thing which bothers me: Having to manually copy the R library files (.dll or .so) is time-consuming and prevents unattended installation. In BioSmalltalk I am currently downloading library files supporting several URI locations by using Metacello. This is just adding a line in the #baseline: method spec preLoadDoIt: #preLoad. The problem could be incompatibility of versions between the R installed in the user's machine and the .dll/.so versions provided by the RProjectConnector. A better option is to detect the R installation path and copying the libraries to the pharo-vm/ directory. What do you think? Cheers, Hernán 2014-12-08 11:10 GMT-03:00 Blondeau Vincent <vincent.blond...@worldline.com<mailto:vincent.blond...@worldline.com>>: Hello everyone, I am glad to announce the first version of the RProjectConnector, a binding between Pharo and R using NativeBoost. You can now call directly your R methods from Pharo: data := (1 to: 1000) collect: #yourself. res := (#acf asRFunctionWith: {data}) eval To use it, you should copy the R libraries near the Pharo VM (see the documentation on SmalltalkHub to see how to proceed) and Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'VincentBlondeau' project: 'RProjectConnector'; configuration; loadStable Don’t forget to relaunch Pharo after the installation to be able to use the connector. The sources are available on Smalltalkhub: http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~VincentBlondeau/RProjectConnector if you want to participate, just ask me!
