Rattle no longer working after upgrade

[Brian Feeny]

It had been a while since I used rattle.

I upgraded R to the latest R-3.0-branch, upgraded all my packages and upgraded R Studio, and when I launch rattle I just get a Session aborted screen.

I tried numerous things to recover from this, including re-installing latest versions of GTK2+

finally I removed all GTK:

rm -rf GTK+.framework/

removed R

rm -rf /Library/Frameworks/R.framework /Applications/R.app /Applications/R64.app
rm -f /usr/bin/R /usr/bin/Rscript /usr/bin/R32 /usr/bin/R64

re-installed R 2.15
re-installed GTK 2.18.5
re-installed RStudio .97 551

and I still get the same thing. When I fire it up (from either RStudio or R64 CLI):

library(rattle)
rattle()

I get a single gray X windows window with nothing in it, and the following in my R console:

> rattle()
Error: attempt to apply non-function
In addition: Warning message:
In method(obj, ...) : Unknown internal child: selection
>


Any ideas?

[Brian Feeny]

I was able to get it to work by doing:

library(rattle)
crv$rattleUI <- "rattle_macosx.ui"
rattle()

But I am unsure why I had to do that. I see its documented here:

http://rattle.togaware.com/rattle-install-troubleshooting.html

But I am running R 2.15 and GTK 2.18.5 and rattle_2.6.26

I thought on these older versions of R I would not have to do that.

This still comes up so often. As long as this workaround is still necessary, would it make sense for the welcome message that appears when you load rattle to gives these instructions?

It seems easy enough to just say... On some versions of Mac you may need to type:
crv$rattleUI <- "rattle_macosx.ui"
rattle()

Or is this issue going to disappear in the near future?

On togaware http://rattle.togaware.com/rattle-install-troubleshooting.html  its filed under:

Mac OS/X: R 3.0.0 and RGtk2 and Rattle

Is it really just an issue for those with R 3.0.0? Or does this now effect those on 2.15?  I ask because I am running 2.15 and it appears I need to do this every time.  I just want to confirm its running as expected and I don't have some artifacts lying around from my previous 3.0.0 install (which I removed)

I've never installed R 3 and I had to do this once I upgraded OS.

Is it still required with the beta release? I "fixed" this back in April in the beta release but if the problem still exists we'll need to resolve it before I get a new CRAN release done.

To install the beta version:

> install.packages("rattle", repos="http://rattle.togaware.com", type="source")

I updated to the latest version, and then was prompted to update X11.  Then after quiting and restarting R and rattle, it was no longer required…

 

Thanks!

I probably spoke too soon on this.  No longer required to type: crv$rattleUI <- "rattle_macosx.ui"

 

But now my rattle is broken…  anything I do, I get the error: 

 

Error in resetRattle() : attempt to apply non-function

 

I may have to uninstall and try again…

Just to be sure, I reinstalled R and upgraded to R 2.15.3 from R 2.15.2. 

 

I reinstalled Rattle.  Rattle version 2.6.26 works fine as long as you type:

 

crv$rattleUI <- “rattle_macosx.ui”

 

Then, I re-installed the beta version:

 

install.packages("rattle", repos="http://rattle.togaware.com", type="source")

 

Version 2.6.27 brings up the UI without the crv$ bit, but anything I do, I get the error: 

 

Error in resetRattle() : attempt to apply non-function

Version 3.0.3 of Rattle has fixed this issue. Thanks to Akbar Waljee and Christopher T. Lowenkamp for assistance in solving the bug.

To install this version before the CRAN update please use:

> install.packages("rattle", repos="http://rattle.togaware.com", type="source")
