"[SOLVED] R Plugin very slow 'Initializing Plugin GUI'"
Howdy everybody. I'm very new to RapidMiner and I'm loving a lot of what I'm seeing. When I read I could integrate R I was chomping at the bit to try it out.
Initially, I had R 3.0.2 installed, added the R Plugin to RapidMiner and tried to follow the instructions on first startup. It took me a while to figure out how to add environment variables, but I now have an %R_HOME%, %JAVA_HOME% and added %R_HOME%\bin\x64 to the PATH variable (separating it from the previous value with a
. When I restarted RapidMiner it loads to a point until it says 'Initializing Plugin GUI' and just sits there. Occasionally (and seemingly randomly) the window to select the RCRAN Mirror pops up (and I pick the OH server). I assumed it had crashed trying to do something, so I uninstalled the extension and reinstalled it to see what would happen. Same thing.
Next I thought it might be there were changes in R 3.x that broke the extension (they broke the link to JMP 10). I uninstalled R 3.0.2 and installed R 2.15.3 - same thing. Then I started writing this post to see why it was crashing and after several minutes, it finally loaded. I was excited and added an R script node but messed up something so a simple operation was taking too long. I closed RapidMiner and reopened it and it's just as slow the second time (so it wasn't just an initial setup thing).
Is there something I can do to speed up the launching of RapidMiner and still keep the R Plugin? Have I done something wrong?
Thanks!
