Problem using nppToR or Tinn-R

Thanks everybody for the reply! Now I fixed the problem by R 2.12.1 and NpptoR (version 2.5.2), without setting the registry.

After a while of my updating of R from 2.11.1 to 2.12.0, I was now completely unable to pass scripts to R from Notepad++ (working together with nppToR).

when I installed nppToR, I always get the same dialogue of "Could not find the Rgui.exe file. Aborting", and it will not ready for use. I thought it is caused by the updating of R.2.11.1 to R.2.12.0 because the Rgui.exe were located in different location. Then, for a while, the nppToR works after I edit the nppToR.ini file, from this:

[install]
global=1

into this, which is also from the previous version of the nppToR files:

[executables]
R=C:\Program Files\R\R-2.12.0\bin\i386\Rgui.exe  --max-mem-size=2047M
Rcmdparms=
Npp=
NppConfig=
[hotkeys]
passline=F8
passfile=^F8
evaltocursor=+F8
batchrun=^!F8
rhelp=^F1
[putty]
activateputty=1
puttyline=F9
puttyfile=^F9
[controls]
Rpastewait=50
Rrunwait=10
restoreclipboard=1
appendnewline=1
[silent]
enablesilent=1
silentkey=!F8
[install]
global=1

However, in these days, this modification never work for me, even though I uninstalled the R.2.12.0 and installed R.2.11.1. And I really have no idea the reason for that. Is there some one had the same experiences? Or, can some one help me out?

PS.: I also tried Tinn-R as an alternative, but after some time of use, the cursor usually appear in some position just like it is going mad, and when I input the code, each line can have only one single letter, and the cursor will move to the next line automatically.Do any body know why?

Thank in advance~

Best Regards~

Solution

  • Make sure you got recent nppToR (currently 2.5.1 2.5.2).

    There are some problems but generally: R<=2.11.1 works with nppToR<=2.4.0 and R>=2.12.0 works with nppToR>=2.5.0. (EDIT) Not tested but I think that 2.5.2 works with all versions.
    Also you have to set registry keys (no bother if you do standard R instalation) to R paths.

    Yesterday I had similar problems and I come to working version by:

    • install R (in my case 2.12.1), from installer with modified settings, but with set registry keys option.
    • install NppToR (2.5.1)
