[rkward-devel] Dependency problem with kdelibs4c2a installing rkward

[Matthieu Stigler]

Hello

I wrote to you three weaks ago facing a problem with the installation of 
rkward. I received answers (thanks a lot Ilias and Prasenjit!) and 
following the advices I installed the version 2.5.1 of R. The old 
version of rkward (avalaible on synaptic 0.4.2-2) is not running anymore. 
Then I downloaded the rkward_0.4.7a-1_i386_sid.deb 
<http://downloads.sourceforge.net/rkward/rkward_0.4.7a-1_i386_sid.deb?modtime=1178542533&big_mirror=0> 
file and opened it with gdebi (I'm using Ubuntu 7.04). There is now the 
problem: "dependency is not satisfiable:  kdelibs4c2a" Looking in 
synaptic, I see that I have the 4: 3.5.6-0ubuntu 14 version, which is 
the latest avalaible on synaptic. Did you know this dependency problem? 
Should I have an older or newer version of kdelibs?

Thanks a lot for your help and in general for developing this program!!

Matthieu

Hello

I want first to thank you very much for you work! I used much SPlus on 
Windows and now with Ubuntu is R interesting but too complicate to use 
without graphical interface... So your program RKward is really 
interesting and useful! Thanks a lot and please continue it!

_*Bug*_
I had problem for the installation of RKward on Ubuntu. Maybe is it 
because you made it for KDE?
-using the synaptic package manager to download the 0.4.2-2 version, I 
have:

But I can run Rkward and use it!

-trying to download the 0.4.7 version direct from the site, I have the 
following message (see attached document):
"Error: dependency is not satisfiable: r-base-core"
An so I was unable to obtain the latest version :-(
_*
Suggestion*_
-This is not really a bug, but either a suggestion:
I was unable to copy the "command lines" from the command log window, 
the "edit" menu is unavailable for the command log windows, while it is 
available for the others. This seems to me to be important, so you can 
copy the command lines obtained from the plug-ins into a script.

-Could you integer the xlsReadWrite package? This is unfortunately only 
available for Windows but is a very useful function!

Thanks a lot!
