I have Komodo Edit running fine on my Mac. I love it. So last summer and fall, I was recommending it to others.
The first person I advised to use Komodo was a Mac-loving colleague running the latest Mac OS on a failry new machine, etc. After hours and hours of frustration, including deleting and reinstalling everything we could find, we never got Komodo+R to go. In fact, she had been using the JGR editor before and now it fails, too. She is now stuck with using the internal R editor--thanks to me. I figured this was just some wacky anomaly, so in the fall I recommended it to my class of 35 grad students, and even prepared a nice "How to install Komodo Edit" guide that I pilot tested. Immediately, about 25% ran into all kinds of problems, both on Macs and Windows. From the 75% who got it running, some of them had trouble later on, including those that answered "Yes" in a "Do you want to upgrade SciViews?" pop-up, only to find that everything got messed up. I'd say that only 60% are now using it. The unlucky 40% are mostly using the internal R editor. Keep in mind that Komodo Edit is designed to work with many programming languages. For me, the R interface is wonderful! But I no longer recommend it, and I am certainly never going to "upgrade," unless my current set-up fails. -- Ralph O'Brien, PhD Professor, Dept of Epidemiology and Biostatistics Case Western Reserve University Office: 216.368.1927 Cell: 216.312.3203 On Mon, Jan 24, 2011 at 6:25 AM, Luca Meyer <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying to run R from Komodo Edit ( > http://www.activestate.com/komodo-edit) using SciViews-K ( > http://sciviews.org/SciViews-K/) but I am not having success.
