UPDATE on StatET and Ubuntu 8.10 amd64: StatET also works perfectly on Ubuntu 8.10 amd64, but the installation procedure takes a lot more effort than on XP Pro 32-bit or Vista 32-bit (at least from my experience).
But I am very happy to have more RAM and having StatET working definitely helps the R-development experience. I also love the power of *nix, but like my experiences in the past, getting things to work right can be a big time-sink - it was the case with getting StatET working here. Some things to watch out for on Ubuntu 8.10 amd64 (you may or may not have the same issues): 1. Eclipse should be installed according to this procedure: http://flurdy.com/docs/eclipse/install.html You may get away with just setting ECLIPSE_HOME, but if you do nothing but unzip and run it, you may run into some weird run-time issues with StatET as described here: http://www.nabble.com/-SOLVED--Need-Help-with-StatET-Error-Bug--on-Ubuntu-8.10-amd64-td22905352.html 2. Follow my earlier post on this thread wrt rJava, -Drjava.path, and Sun JDK. Of course, there may be many different ways to get StatET working, but the steps in this thread worked for me. I posted these messages for others in appreciation of help that I got from other posted messages, but also for my future reference when I need to get StatET working on a newly-upgraded system. I hope someone finds this thread useful. - Ken -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Eclipse-and-StatET-Howto-%28also-added-Subversion%2C-Rtools%29-tp22764049p22907519.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
