Re: [R] Odd crash with tcl/tk

2010-08-17 Thread Lars Dalby
Hi

@ Andrew: Did you get this problem solved?
I am having similar problems and have tried to work around it using
options(gsubfn.engine = R) as suggested by Gabor.
However, this don't solve on my machine. R just freezes up trying to
execute read.csv.sql()

On OSX 10.6.4, R 2.11.1 (2010-05-31) 64bit

Any help is much appreciated!

  Hi,

  haven't been able to find discussion about on these boards (or any others).

  When I enter library(tcltk), it reads Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... , but
  then never says done or displays some sort of error message.  Looks like
  this:

  x11()
  library(tcltk)
  Loading Tcl/Tk interface ...

  Now you can type additional commands in, at your peril!  For example, if I
  type in the text library, nothing happens, but library( causes R to
  freeze up irreparably, with executing:
  try(gsub('\\s+','',paste(capture.output(print(args(library,collapse=)) 
  ,silent=TRUE)
  displayed at the bottom.  When this happens, there's nothing you can do but
  restart R because it's completely frozen.

  I'm running R version 2.11.1 Patched (2010-07-27 r52627)

  [R.app GUI 1.35 (5603) i386-apple-darwin9.8.0]

  with XQuartz 2.3.5 (xorg-server 1.4.2-apple53)

  on a mac (snow leopard)

  Thanks for any help/suggestions in advance,

  Andrew

 One thought is that if this is to use gsubfn or sqldf (which uses
 gsubfn) then you can get them to not use thetcltkcode but use R code
 instead by either of these two means:

 1. issue the command:
 options(gsubfn.engine = R)
 before issuing your library(sqldf) or library(gsubfn) command.  You
 can put the options command in your .Rprofile if you like and then you
 will have it on every session.

 or

 2. use a build of R that has notcltkin it.  In that case it will
 recognize it and switch to using R.  I believe one such build exists
 for the Mac.

Sorry to chime in late (for some reason, I was not at the Mac when this came in 
originally). 

I can't reproduce the situation. One guess is that you haven't installed the 
tcltk bits, as indicated on the http://cran.at.r-project.org/bin/macosx/ page.

Hi Peter

Spot on! You where absolutely right. After installing the tcltk bits
it worked just fine.

Thank you very much!

Re: [R] Odd crash with tcl/tk

2010-08-17 Thread Gabor Grothendieck
That should not be necessary if you used

   options(gsubfn.engine = R)

since it should not be using tcltk in the first place.

Perhaps you are using an old version of gsubfn -- the latest on CRAN is 0.5-3.
