SUMMARY *** I run rkward version 0.7.5-2 and R version 4.3.1 on Arch Linux. I am unable to produce plots (with rkward's default settings). *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start rkward 2. Execute the following R code: a <- rnorm(1000); hist(a) OBSERVED RESULT The plot (histogram) is not produced. Instead, the following error is issued: "R Graphics Engine version has changed (from 15 to 16). This change requires a recompilation." EXPECTED RESULT A plot (histogram) should be produced. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux kernel 6.4.9-arch1-1 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.7 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.108.0 Qt Version: 5.5.10 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ---Problem description--- Please fill in the missing bits *in English*. Please give a brief summary on the problem: I am unable to produce plots (with rkward's default settings). What - in detail - did you do directly before you encountered this problem? Nothing When you try to repeat the above, does the problem occur again (no, sometimes, always)? Always If applicable: When doing the same thing in an R session outside of RKWard, do you see the same problem? No Do you have any further information that might help us to track this problem down? In particular, if applicable, can you provide sample data and sample R code to reproduce this problem? a <- rnorm(1000); hist(a) RKWard is available in many different packagings, and sometimes problems are specific to one method of installation. How did you install RKWard (which file(s) did you download)? From the Arch Linux repositories. ---Session Info--- -- Frontend -- RKWard version: 0.7.5 KDE Frameworks version (runtime): 5.108.0 KDE Frameworks version (compile time): 5.100.0 Qt version (runtime): 5.15.10 Qt version (compile time): 5.15.7 Using QWebEngine for HTML rendering Local config directory: /home/cribari/.config RKWard storage directory: /home/cribari/.rkward/ Backend version (as known to the frontend): 4.3.1 Debug message file (this may contain relevant diagnostic output in case of trouble): /tmp/rkward.frontend -- Backend -- Debug message file (this may contain relevant diagnostic output in case of trouble): /tmp/rkward.rbackend R version (compile time): 4.2.2 (2022-10-31 r83211) R runtime session info: R version 4.3.1 (2023-06-16) Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) Running under: Arch Linux Matrix products: default BLAS/LAPACK: /usr/lib/libopenblas.so.0.3; LAPACK version 3.11.0 locale: [1] LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=C [3] LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=C [5] LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 [7] LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NAME=en_US.UTF-8 [9] LC_ADDRESS=en_US.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.UTF-8 [11] LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.UTF-8 time zone: America/Recife tzcode source: system (glibc) attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base other attached packages: [1] rkward_0.7.5 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] compiler_4.3.1 tools_4.3.1 parallel_4.3.1
thanks for the report. from the information you provided it looks like your installation of RKWard was built with R 4.2.2 and you later replaced this with R 4.3.1, which also upgraded the R graphics engine from version 15 (compile time) to 16 (runtime). your build of RKWard can't fully handle that newer version, but needs to be recompiled in order to also support R 4.3.

I do realize that the Arch package needs to be rebuilt. I marked it as out-of-date. Nonetheless, the package maintainer told me to report the issue here. (His reply: "Please stop flagging this package out of date. If you want to report an issue, use the bug tracker.") That's why I filed this bug report.
the package may technically not be out-of-date, it is just not compatible with the R version installed. that is if it still works with the R version shipped with arch and you upgraded R from a third party repo. how did you upgrade R?

I upgraded R from the Arch repository. The two Arch packages (rkward and r) have the same maintainer / packager. ~ pacman -Qi r Name : r Version : 4.3.1-2 Description : Language and environment for statistical computing and graphics Architecture : x86_64 URL : https://www.r-project.org/ Licenses : GPL Groups : None Provides : r-kernsmooth=2.23.21 r-mass=7.3.60 r-matrix=1.5.4.1 r-base=4.3.1 r-boot=1.3.28.1 r-class=7.3.22 r-cluster=2.1.4 r-codetools=0.2.19 r-compiler=4.3.1 r-datasets=4.3.1 r-foreign=0.8.84 r-grdevices=4.3.1 r-graphics=4.3.1 r-grid=4.3.1 r-lattice=0.21.8 r-methods=4.3.1 r-mgcv=1.8.42 r-nlme=3.1.162 r-nnet=7.3.19 r-parallel=4.3.1 r-rpart=4.1.19 r-spatial=7.3.16 r-splines=4.3.1 r-stats=4.3.1 r-stats4=4.3.1 r-survival=3.5.5 r-tcltk=4.3.1 r-tools=4.3.1 r-translations=4.3.1 r-utils=4.3.1 Depends On : lapack libtiff pcre2 perl libxmu pango zip unzip curl icu which Optional Deps : tk: tcl/tk interface [installed] texlive-bin: latex sty files [installed] gcc-fortran: needed to compile some CRAN packages [installed] blas-openblas: faster linear algebra [installed] Required By : python-rchitect radian rkward rstudio-desktop-bin Optional For : graphviz Conflicts With : None Replaces : None Installed Size : 84.02 MiB Packager : Antonio Rojas <arojas@archlinux.org> Build Date : Sun 18 Jun 2023 06:19:57 AM -03 Install Date : Wed 28 Jun 2023 10:10:38 PM -03 Install Reason : Explicitly installed Install Script : No Validated By : Signature ~ pacman -Qi rkward Name : rkward Version : 0.7.5-2 Description : An easy to use and easily extensible IDE/GUI for R Architecture : x86_64 URL : https://rkward.kde.org/ Licenses : GPL Groups : None Provides : None Depends On : qt5-webengine ktexteditor r Optional Deps : None Required By : None Optional For : None Conflicts With : None Replaces : None Installed Size : 15.68 MiB Packager : Antonio Rojas <arojas@archlinux.org> Build Date : Tue 06 Dec 2022 02:23:59 PM -03 Install Date : Tue 06 Dec 2022 06:19:24 PM -03 Install Reason : Explicitly installed Install Script : No Validated By : Signature
