R and RStudio
Posted: Wed 16 Apr 2014, 22:53
Hi to everybody!
Although I'm using several tastes of Puppy linux since long time ago, this is my first mail here...
First of all, congratulations to all the supporters and the people that is working hard for such a wonderful distro.
I'm very happy with it. Thanks to all of you.
Now my problem...
I'm using LxPup12.12 I think it is an Ubuntu 12.04 precise compatible Puppy with a light Graphical front, similar to Lubuntu.
Now, I'm starting a Coursera Course to learn R and RStudio so I need to install them in this Puppy linux machine.
That is mandatory for the Course.
At the moment I know almost nothing about neither program...
Only that they are statistical opensource programs.
My first attempt was to search, download and install Saluki's R-2.14.1-Saluki.sfs
Tha sfs was posted in the link below by emil on 2010 I think.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=51141
Once the sfs is loaded as usual, I opened a terminal and typed R. The R promt came and the program was running smoothly.
Ran some demo library's packages and everything was ok with the R program in the terminal.
The second step was to install The RStudio. I couldn't find any pet for this so I decided to download
the .deb package and installed it with the provided pet instaler.
It created a menu entry but when I tried to run it, it says in a window :
R shared library (/usr/local/lib/R/lib/libR.so) not found. If this is a custom build of R, was it built with the --enable-R-shlib option?
After that the RStudio program exits.
Not sure what's wrong but for sure I don't know how to fix it... I've never built anything in puppy linux.
Anyone can find a simple solution to fix this annoying problem ? or
Maybe there are some properly pet/sfs packages to have RStudio running?
Also I want to know how do I uninstall the not runing .deb RStudio ?
The downloaded package was rstudio-0.98.501-i386.deb (32bits) ?
Sorry for my English. It is my second language...
Thanks a lot for your help.
