Hi I am using a process which uses an R script to obtain the data set

library(quantmod)
library(TTR)
library(PerformanceAnalytics)

# pull IBM data from Yahoo Finance
getSymbols("IBM",from="2003-01-01")

but when running the process get the following error

Dec 8, 2010 4:02:03 PM SEVERE: Process failed: Could not initiate session with native R. Try using server. Reason: Could not initialize R via JRI. Reason: Unable to initialize R

Where am I going wrong or can you recommend a good learning resource for R

    Hi,

    I had the same issue when I though I set everything up as per all the post here. I have a thread request for someone to provide (at least for OSX) a step by step on how to setup the RapidMiner and R extensions from scratch.

    Hi,
    if the console shows up in the new R Perspective in RapidMiner, you already have configured everything correctly. If this is the case, please try simpler scripts.
    Until then, please send me the bug report. There should be a button "Send Bug Report" when the error shows up. Please send it in.
