I have installed R (http://cran.at.r-project.org/src/base/R-2/R-2.6.0.tar.gz) and followed the installation instructions: "put it in /usr/local/bin and then unpack, and just say "./configure", then "make", then "make install" inside the R-2.6.0 directory"
R runs fine but just from command line. I am also using R on Windows where it has a nice GUI. I was directed to dowload and install R GUI for Linux ( http://rosuda.org/JGR/down.shtml) I folowed the instructions for SuSE10.2 although I have 10.3. I istalled java 1.6 as required. But the R GUI won't work on SuSE10.3. In the following I'm pasting the fatal error I get. R has its own mailing list where I have posted my problem. All people who tried to install R GUI on SuSE 10.3 experienced the same problem that is unanimali regarded as a SuSE 10.3 problem. Dr E.A. Catchpole <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: "This is a known problem with Suse10.3 --- lots of things that use Java (e.g., Matlab) produce the same error message. I'm currently trying to fix this upon my machine, but haven't succeeded yet. Josh Triplett suggested the following: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6532373 This seems to have helped several people. But it didn't work for me. A sure fix is going back to Suse10.2!" I know many of you (in this forum) have all the knowledge and expertise to suggest the workaround. I would appreciate your help.
