Hi Wojciech ,
I did some further tests this afternoon. The results are encouraging,
though I found additional errors:
1.) spaces before {$OUT:...} prevent any output, e.g.
_{$OUT}<-...something...
where '_' is a space won't work.
2.) I still have problems with the PLOT. Both with Win XP SP2 and Win2k SP4.
Where is the temporary file stored? Both machines I tested on do not use
standard MS Win directories, so this may be an issue.
Here, I have:
OOo 2.3 dev installed in "L:\Programs\Text\OOo-dev 2.3", and
Rserve in "L:\Programs\Science\Statistics\R\R-2.5.0\library\Rserve".
Needless to say, R is in:
"L:\Programs\Science\Statistics\R\R-2.5.0"
Maybe there is an issue with the program-path. (The Win %PROGRAMS% path
is also set to "L:\Programs\".) This is the Win 2k machine.
The Win Xp machine has also some special settings, though I don't
recall exactly what they were. (Though the Win %PROGRAMS% should be the
standard one. However, I installed R on a different path.)
3.) This brings me to the 3rd issue: the R-Addon Menus do NOT work. They
actually never worked on my machine. Not even the GUI is displayed.
When I manually insert the path to the GUI *.txt-file downloaded from
the source zip-file, the GUI shows up (and the non-graphical commands do
work - at least some of them).
Should the user download separately these GUI-files? Or should they
have worked when installing the uno-package?
Hope this information will allow pinpointing the problem.
Sincerely,
Leonard

Hi everyone,
>From an administrative point of view, I am supposed to stop working as a
Google Summer of Code student today at 3 pm EST. As such, I've leased a new
version of the package: 0.1.6, with links at
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/R_and_Calc
First, I should say that I will continue working on this package and won't
stop just because the Summer of Code period is over. :) However, I would be
grateful for any advice about this new release prior to 3 pm, so I can make
any changes before submitting this work for evaluation.
Below are some comments to specific people, based on advice they gave last
week.
Eike -- this new version uses "make" rather than sh scripts... Please have a
look at the makefile, because this was the first time I've actually coded in
make. To make life easy for people using the package and those coding in it,
I moved the Rserve clients (licensed under LGPL) into the package itself,
giving appropriate credit and information where necessary. I also
reorganized the code a bit to make life easy for anyone else working on the
project.
With regards to the bulky image embedding code, my apologies! I didn't
realize there was a Calc tutorial for this already.
Leo -- I implemented the Chi Square, Fisher Exact, Wilcox tests, and also
the Kaplan-Meier curve. The other two (from the survival analysis package)
will be harder to implement because there is currently no easy way to accept
an unlimited amount of formula variables as inputs using the GUI windows. I
will work on this, as well as dynamically setting array sizes (e.g.
{$A1:A(length+1)} -- this is a pretty big change, so I wanted to fix some of
the bugs and problems from version 0.1.5 before addressing this.
I also created an "About" button in the "Advanced" sub menu which gives all
sorts of diagnostic information. Please let me know if this works.
Also, I think the problem with plotting had to do with where I stored the
temporary image file... I changed this, so please let me know if it works
for you! I tested the tool on Ubuntu, Fedora Core, and Windows XP and it
worked in all cases, so I hope Windows 2K will also cooperate now.
Again, comments are welcome! Thank you to all who have already sent them.
Thanks,
Wojciech
