Compiling PL/R (R language module for PostgreSQL database)

2011-02-14 Thread JP Glutting
Hi, I am trying to install the PL/R module for Postgres. It creates PL/R, a procedural language for using R from within Postgres itself. (Note: this module is called plr, while Macports has a module called plr which implements the Ruby procedural language for Postgres, but I don't have that

Hi Joe! I love PL/R, it is going to be great for my Master's thesis project. Thanks for making it! I also see it being a real powerful tool going forward for other projects. I assumed the x86_64 directories (etc.) are used for platform-specific features, but I wouldn't know for sure. BTW, since

Wow, that is dedication. I haven't packaged anything for Macports yet, and this is a bad time for me to take on any new projects, but if anyone out there is interested, it would be a great addition to Macports. In case anyone is wondering what it does, my understanding is that it allows you to
