This is a forum for installation of Red-R on Linux.
I make the Linux installer and must say that I am not a Linux expert. I'm copying a conversation that I had with another Linux user concerning installation of Red-R on Linux. If anyone has any advice or comments that they would like to add to this forum please feel free.
These are some issues and questions that came up.
Just tried the deb package, and I hit the same problem I had when trying to build from source - a dependency on python-numarray-ext. Does it need this? I thought it was being phased out in favour of numpy.
That is likely the case. I will make a note of this and put that in the install doc.
Can you install at all or the deb crashes.
I'm not really a very good linux person I just did my best to put this together. If that requirement stops the deb then I can take it out and rebuild. I'll replace with numpy.
Thanks
Kyle
m on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid, and python-numarray-ext isn't in the Lucid repo. I downloaded one from the Karmic repo (Ubuntu 9.04), and that meets the dependencies.
However I haven't run it yet - how do you actually run it up? I looked around in installed files in the package for an executable, but couldn't see one.
Probably would be better to replace with numpy for the longer term anyhow - I'm not a python expert, but numarray seems to be deprecated now.
OK, I think numpy is also a requirement in the deb.
I'm not a linux expert but Orange (the program that Red-R is based on) required that, however, we never call it in favor of numpy.
to execute you should be able to navigate to the python dir
usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/Red-R/canvas
and run
"python red-RCanvas.pyw"
That should start Red-R.
I'm also making a .tar that I'll put on the website for those who would like to resolve the depends themselves and not have to use the .deb
Thanks
Kyle
Thanks.
I got the following. Not sure if that's because I haven't setup pythonpath properly.

You can resolve this here http://qwt.sourceforge.net/
You will just need to install this and the error should go away.
Kyle
It does - thanks. For reference I think you could add python-qwt5-qt4 to the deb dependencies. I'll play around with it and let you know how that goes. Thanks very much for now.

Re: Unable to start red-r on linux
Could you please supply more information? What version are you using? Is this from the svn? What dependencies have you installed.
Red-R linux depends on
python-docutils, python-numpy, python-qt4, python-qwt5-qt4, and R.
Thanks

Thanks for testing that.
I'll try to get red-r going on my linux machine again and see if I can reproduce the error.
I don't understand the -u switch but I doubt that that is the source of the problem.
It might be an incompatibility in pyqt pyqwt or perhaps rpy. If you have the svn trunk then you likely have a copy of rpy for windows in the canvas directory. I would remove that first. Then you might want to check that pyqt and pyqwt are working in your system and that you have versions that are compatible.
I'll see if I can get it running and debug on linux and let you know what I get.
Kyle
Hi Kyle,
Rpy and rpy2 work in my laptop, PyQGIS use these packages, as you can see in the log below.
Again, the segmentation fault occurs during menu loading.

Do you have R installed?
The next line in the module is "import rpy" which must work in your configuration.
Can you test this by loading rpy in python.

If this works please let me know so we can debug further.
If this fails then R, rpy, python aren't set up right on your machine. You can look to the rpy documentation for how to set this up on linux. It should be a matter of just resolving the dependencies.

Thanks for reminding me.
You will need to make the version.txt file. It should look like this:
!define NAME "Red-R"
!define REDRVERSION "1.80"
!define TYPE "linux"
!define DATE "2010.08.17"
!define SVNVERSION "881"
there is a directory in dist-packages (or wherever you put the svn) and the application makes directories in your documents folder for schemas and templates. This is where any schemas or templates that you make will be placed (unless you save them somewhere else). Templates saved in the templates directory will be accessable from red-r's searchbar.
The R you'll have to take care of yourself. CRAN has instructions for installation on linux which worked for me.
Any R libraries that are needed for red-r to work will be installed when you try to use the widgets.
The version on svn is the development version, it's not very stable but I'm using it right now.
Hope this helps.

If you have the svn there isn't any need to 'build' anything from the red-r end. It's all .py code and R.
'python canvas/red-RCanvas.pyw' from the red-r directory in dist-packages should open red-r for you.
All our windows installers do is to put python and other extensions on the computer, but since you are using linux you already have all of that.

Note that I still can run Red-R in sudo mode, so this is not a crucial issue.

Hi Kyle,
I tried to put the gold version into my home folder.

Erreur de segmentation
This means a "segmentation fault". In sudo mode:
> gksudo python /home/me/Red-R/gold/canvas/red-RCanvas.pyw
loading linux files
loading 64bit linux
Red-R loads successfully. I read that these segmentation faults may occur if 64 bits apps are executed on 32 bits systems. Maybe that's a clue.
If I try the verbose mode:
> python -v /home/me/Red-R/gold/canvas/red-RCanvas.pyw
...
dlopen("/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/pyexpat.so", 2);
import pyexpat # dynamically loaded from /usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/pyexpat.so
Erreur de segmentation
It seems it has something to do with pyexpat.so. I googled a bit, but found nothing useful. Are you aware of anything concerning pyexpat.so?
Don't know about pyexpat
The segmentation fault is likely coming from one of the compiled C libraries that Red-R uses. This most likely comes from compiling the C libraries against linux 32 instead of linux 64.
To figure out where the problems are coming from you could start by opening the red-RCanvas.pyw file and putting in print statements (print "got this far 1") in a few places and see how far you get. I would recommend going strait to RSession.py and putting some of these around the statements;
import conversion as co
and
import rpy3 as rpy
One of these will most likely throw the error and then we'll know which library to recompile on your system.
We don't really have anyone yet who wants to maintain the linux version. I use it myself and it works well but it seems that it's always a headache to set up.
### Advertisement ###
We are looking for an interested party to help with Red-R on Linux.
redRLog
The segmentation fault seems to occur at the following line
import redRLog
It's line 16.
I executed redRLog alone without problems though...
Setting sys.stdout
There are lines in there that set sys.stdout (or something like that) and sys.excepthook. These are used to capture errors and print statements that are executed in other python modules.
I've found that these things can be a bit "sensitive" on my Linux version. I finally got it worked out but it gave me problems several times.
That might be the next place to look. Removing these lines though would make Red-R unable to capture print statements and they would be directed to stdio (the command line). Still, it's better than not being able to use the software.
Kyle

I'm not sure what the "p -r build/lib.linux*/rpy3 ../linux64/rpy3" is doing. It seems that your system didn't recognize it. Perhaps you were trying to mv? You just need rpy3 to go into the linux64 dir after building.

Actually, I had no idea of what I was doing ;) I just followed the steps in the Downloads page. But I indeed moved rpy3...

and from: /windows/C/Program Files (x86)/Red-R/gold/rpy3-setup/build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/
Respectively

and to: /windows/C/Program Files (x86)/Red-R/gold/linux64/
Downloads page info
Yeh the info on the downloads page is far from comprehensive, it's just a jumble of stuff that worked on someone's machine at some point so I put it there. I'll have to see where the p thing is and see if I can find out why that's there.
You may also need to build redrrpy. Allarmingly it seems that this was removed for some reason from the svn trunk!! That actually might be the source of the problem.
I put conversion back into the trunk and you can see if that works.
Just
cd redrrpy-setup
python setup.py build
mv -r build/lib.lin*/redrrpy ../linux64/redrrpy #(or something like this)

Building Red-R On Linux
You'll have to build it yourself.
Do python setup.py build and then pull the rpy3 files from the build directory that that will make.
We don't officially support linux builds but I use a linux64 build myself for development. You'll also likely have to build conversion in the same way and then put the files in the proper places.

Though red-r is based on orange and once used quite a bit of orange code, the underlying framework has been substantially altered.
I wouldn't use any orange resources to learn about red-r or attempt to interchange the code, it's almost guaranteed not to work.
Kyle
Hi,
There is no need to use the setup.py file. It is for use in windows. Everything should be precompiled and just work out of the box.
Simply checkout the svn.
You will need to fulfill all of the dependencies though.
After that just run red-RCanvas.pyw form the canvas directory and red-r should start.
Kyle
How do you install Red-R using SVN trunk in Linux Ubuntu 10.04?
It seems that the setup.py is for windows.
Probably we make use of Orange Make
http://www.ailab.si/svn/orange/trunk/orange/doc/INSTALL.linux.txt
After poking the r-orange repo, I found out that r-orange has this file as well.
http://r-orange.googlecode.com/svn/branches/linux/INSTALL.linux.txt
Is r-orange using the same source use by orange?

I had at some point written a .deb installer but all it did was to unzip the Red-R files into a directory and to check if all of the dependencies were there.
I figured that since the dependencies were on this forum and the Linux Readme then that was overkill and confusing to have both a zip file and a deb file.
If anyone knows how better to do this then I'd love some help with getting this on the Debian repositories so people can use sudo apt-get install.
Sorry for the confusion.
From reading the posts, it is not clear to me whether there is a functioning Debian installer available or not. Could someone please clarify the current situation?
Thanks,
Rob
I've noticed that sometimes the R instance takes a long time to download and install R libraries.
I'm guessing that the code in R is the same across operating systems for R packages but that's likely wrong.
What is the fastest code to get and install an R package from within R on linux? We can improve the speed of this in Red-R if we know this.
Thanks
