An update: after several days of struggling, I got StatET to work on Ubuntu 8.10 amd64, R 2.8.1.
Here are some tips: 1. You may run into an X11 issue with tktcl in R as someone decided to omit /etc/X11/rgb.txt If you get weird issues with your R installation with window colors like "red" or "black", then you may be missing this file. Retrieve a copy off the web, and log in/out or restart your X. 2. When installing packages into R >DO NOT< use sudo or you will run into problems later on - particularly if your R packages automatically install into /home/myname/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.8 3. I read of many problems with OpenJDK so uninstall that and install Sun's JDK instead (I think rJava may need Sun's JDK). Google around for instructions - it was safer to remove OpenJDK first. Make sure you get something reasonable when you do "java -version" and "R CMD javareconf" 4. Make sure you install the package rJava to completion - the system will build it ***5. Under Run configurations>JRE>VM Arguments you need something like this: -Drjava.path=/home/myname/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.8/rJava I lost many hours with 5., but of course I didn't RTFM!!! Didn't need this one for Windoze, but needed it for Ubuntu. http://www.walware.de/goto/statet near the bottom... Note: There were probably other small steps during the install, but I didn't keep track. However, all solutions were found through googling... Of course, the advantage is, under amd64, we are no longer limited to 3GB of memory for R.
