RapidMiner can't find R_HOME env

yakito

Hello,

I am trying to install the R extension under RapidMiner 5.3 but even after following all the steps I can't make it work.

When I go to the logs I find out the following error:

[Fatal Error] :1:1: Premature end of file.
R_HOME is not set. Please set all required environment variables before running this program.
Unable to start R

SEVERE: Could not initialize R via JRI. Reason: Unable to initialize R

Jul 15, 2013 5:01:57 PM com.rapidminer.PluginInitR initGui
SEVERE: Could not acquire connection to R. Could not load Console.

Even though that when I type env on my command line (I am using OS x) I see my line for R_HOME=/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources

Does anyone have any tip on why RM won't be reading my env variables?

Thanks in advance!

How did you set your environment variables? Did you try to run RapidMiner from the very same console where you checked the R_HOME variable?

Best regards,
