when trying to fetch list of available packages after choosing mirror I get window with message:

Error in do.call\(op, list\(v\_c, v\_t\[\[op\]\]\)\) : 
could not find function "R \(&gt;= 1.8."

R-2.11.0 installed and R engine is working in rkward-- Labels: user interface --

Hi,

thank you for reporting this issue. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this on my system, and that makes it hard to understand what exactly might be going wrong. Could you please provide some additional information:

1\) What's the version of RKWard in use?
2\) What happens if you run
available.packages\(\)
in the R Console?
3\) Have you tried selecting a different mirror? Same result?
4\) Possibly something get's confused by R objects in your workspace. Could you attach the output of
ls\(all.names=TRUE\)
to this report?
4b\) Could you cd to a temporary directoy, start RKWard, without loading any workspace, and try again. Same result?
5\) Perhaps attach the output of sessionInfo\(\) for good measure.

Thanks\!

Try another thing:
make a backup of ~/.kde/share/config/rkwardrc and then delete it. Now stat rkward and see. 

If it still happens, provide the exact sequence of steps that you did. 
And does happen always or sometimes?

removing ~/.kde/share/config/rkwardrc fix the problem. Thanks\!

Hi lisu87, hi Prasenjit,

glad to hear the problem is solved. However, I'd like to understand what was going wrong, so perhaps this can be fixed out of the box. Prasenjit, do you have any idea, specifically what may have been wrong in rkwardrc? lisu87, do you still have the old rkwardrc available? Could you attach it to this report?

Thanks\!

"Sure. Attached"

Hm, that didn't work for some reason, no attachment is available, here. Could you try again, or send via mail to rkward-devel@lists.sourceforge.net?

Unfortunately I've deleted bogus rkwardrc today morning and I was unable to reproduce the problem after upgrade to rkward-0.5.3.

Bit of a late reply\!

"Prasenjit, do you have any idea, specifically what may have been wrong in rkwardrc?"

No, not really. 
I have benefited from this practice on multiple occasions for various kinds of problems. For example, few days back, I had a "insanely wide dialog box" issue, which went away when rkwardrc was deleted. So, this is the first thing I try for any kind of 'unexplainable' errors... But I'll keep it in mind, and try to save a 'buggy' rkwardrc in future.

Ok, too bad.

I will close this report, then. If you - or anybody else reading this - run into this again, just open a new report in this tracker.

Thanks\!
