[back to the list] Good to hear that updating to rpy2-2.0.3 solved the crashes you observed. Updating the 2.0.x should be tried whenever a newer version is available as there should not be disappearing features in the API (possible changes will mostly happen with 2.1.x).
As you noted, the GTK R console in the demos/ directory outputs a little too much (when doing 'x <- rnorm(100)', the content of 'x' will be returned to the console). That's not the way it should be, and that's one of the reasons why this is only in the demos/; a module of GTK widgets (a toolkit for easy DIY R GUI) was initially planned but could not make it for 2.0.0. This console is a real quick hack, and I (or someone) should look into the R source to see how things are done in order to fix this. L. Carson J.Q.
