I have been using Rattle 2.2.x for a month in my class, with no difficulty. I sent the following message to my students to deal with the installation issue. I would hope it has been fixed by version 3.0.

   As I recall, the problem was pretty much what is described in messages here: R hangs when you try to launch Rattle. But as I say, once I solved it once it has not been back. 

Roger Bohn (Instructor) (1 month ago) - #Bug on installing Rattle. Mostly I just followed a series of prompts. But at one point I ran into the following:
> rattle()
Error: attempt to apply non-function
In addition: Warning message:
In method(obj, ...) : Unknown internal child: selection

#Rattle support is available on a user group at https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!forum/rattle-users

Which eventually led to the following solution: 
> library(rattle)
> crv$rattleUI <- "rattle_macosx.ui"
> rattle()

Hi,

We're having some problems installing rattle on Mac OS X and would appreciate some help.

We're using the following versions:

- Mac OS X is 10.8.2.

- R is 2.15.2

- rattle is 2.2.25

The install seems to work. Certainly everything downloads and R runs.

When we start rattle using the command rattle(), X11 doesn't launch and R just immediately hangs.

If we start X11 beforehand, it launches but R still hangs when we type the command rattle()

Is rattle working for Mac OS X 10.8.2?

The only thing we haven't tried yet is to reinstall R and start from scratch again.

Has anyone else come across this problem?

Many thanks in advance

Regards,

Paul Kennedy

Running this with R 3.0.1 on a Lion machine in R.app GUI 1.60 (6475) opens up an instance of XQuartz 2.6.4 (xorg-server 1.10.6) and then R crashes (in the sense of the all R windows disappearing and an Apple crashlog appearing.)

Same behavior occurs when R is started from a Terminal session.

These are the packages that I load with .Rprofile

Running R with -- vanilla I also get a crash (in the sense of the R session being terminated with extreme prejudice) but it is with this error message on the way out:

> rattle()
R(1534,0x7fff7a417960) malloc: *** error for object 0x4024000000000000: pointer being freed was not allocated
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
