Hi!

I hope, it is justified to write this email...
I'm relatively new to linux, and haven't worked with r, yet, so please pardon
any things I do not know...

I tried installing r on my computer, and didn't manage to get the program
running.
After having installed littler, typing r into the bash results in following
message:

r: symbol lookup error: r: undefined symbol: R_Visible

I found a bugreport here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=418686
I'm not sure, if this has anything to do with it, as it concerns rkward...

Anyway, this information might come handy:
my system:
ubuntu 7.10
Kernel 2.6.22-14-generic
GNOME 2.20.1

installed packages:
r-base 2.7.0-1gutsy0
r-base-core 2.7.1gutsy0
r-cran-cluster 1.11.10-1gutsy0
r-cran-boot 1.2.32-1gutsy0
r-cran-cluster 1.11.10-1gutsy0
r-cran-codetools 0.2-0-1gutsy0
r-cran-foreign 0.8.24-1gutsy0
r-cran-kernsmooth 2.22.22-1gutsy0
r-cran-lattice 0.17-6-1gutsy0
r-cran-mgcv 1.3-30-1gutsy0
r-cran-nlme 3.1.88-1gutsy0
r-cran-rpart 3.1.41-1gutsy0
r-cran-survival 2.34-1gutsy0
r-cran-vr 7.2.41-1gutsy0

rkward 0.4.7a-1ubuntu1

r-recommended 2.7.0-1gutsy0


I can't guarantee, that this list is complete, as I don't know (yet), how to
check for it...

Not really relevant, but I feel that I should tell you:

The university at which I study used to use SPSS. Until this term, from which on
we will officially use r. Yeah!

So, I hope you can help me getting r working. If I can help by doing anything,
please tell me how...
Also, I hope, this is a problem with r and not with my ubuntu, in which case I
probably wouldn't have contacted you, if I would have known...

Thank you very much!

All the best,
Jakob
