"Error after updating to R extension 5.2"

gvanvuuren

Hi,

I had the R extension 5.0.1 up and running, and decided this morning to update to version 5.0.2. Big mistake. RM now reports the following error after start up:

Nov 3, 2010 1:56:18 PM WARNING: Plugin initializer com.rapidminer.PluginInitR.initGui of Plugin R Extension causes an error: null

Even after reverting to version 5.0.1, the problem persists. Unfortunately, no stack trace is shown, but the R perspective does not appear. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the error message to be more verbose. Has anybody had a similar effect?

Thanks
Gideon

Hi Gideon,
well, thats really really strange. Do you have changed anything else? Anybody else have this problem?

I've deinstalled and reinstalled R Extension completely, but the problem persists.

The closest hint I have for what could be going on, is when I load and execute the 'Generate Vector' R demo. I get the following stack trace:

Exception: java.lang.NoSuchFieldError
Message: jriLoaded
Stack trace:

As far as I understand, this means the JRIEngine could not be created, and the NoSuchFieldError seems to indicate that RM attempts to access a field in the rJava classes that doesn't exist. Are there perhaps class incompatibility issues involved here?

I solved the problem by uninstalling RM and re-installing it along with all plugins.

Hi,
good to hear that it works now. No idea what could have caused the mess. Still don't have a clue why this field should be missing anyway...
