Thanks for the report. Could you try

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

and see if that fixes the issue. Thanks.

Graham

I have received a few of these now.

I am not yet able to replicate the problem.

If anyone knows the cause or can recall what changed on their system prior to the issue arising, please share. Thanks.

The English version of the error is

Error in method(obj, ...) : Invalid root element: 'requires'

It would be useful to know if it is different with the latest version of Rattle:

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

Thanks.

Graham - I get the same error message running the latest versions of R and rattle installed from CRAN.  I was unable to install rattle directly from togaware.com

I have the same problem. I have been using Rattle for the last three weeks, and it was working fine. The problem happened yesterday after I updated some packages. I cannot recall which packages ..

I am running Rattle on R v.3.4 (64 bit) - Windows 10

Regards,

Gumma

[Ramón Granados-Peña]

I solved

Maybe no the best way, but works!

1) libgtk2.0-dev libxml2-dev (Directly from packages.ubuntu.com/)
2) R-CRAN (Directly from https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/xenial/)
3) Install.packages("rattle", dependencies=TRUE)
4) Rattle run!!
4) Some packages gave me "error" and there were solved individually

[Graham Williams]

Thanks for the update Ramón.

Given this is occurring on both Windows and Linux (and maybe Mac?) I suspect an R package (CRAN) issue.

I'll continue to investigate and welcome anyone responding with insight.

Regards,
Graham

Hello,

I met the same problem installing Rattle on R 3.4.0 in Windows 64. It shows: "Error in method(obj, ...) : Invalid root element: 'requires'".

I installed all the dependencies required by Rattle in CRANS today.

Liyuan

[Ramón Granados-Peña]

i had to install all dependencies, using 1) "install.packages("rattle", dep=TRUE), then update rattle 2) install.packages("rattle", repos="http://rattle.togaware.com") 3) check if you have all dependencies, e..g : RGtk2 ONLY works with R (≥ 3.4.0) i have to install independently "install.packages("RGtk2", dep=TRUE)

Is there any possibility this is related to the fact that the togaware website is not responding?

I'm getting timeouts repeatedly.

Hi,

Any news on the issue?

So far I've tried lots of different combinations of R and Rattle version. Nothing really worked.

Thanks.

[Gumma Ibrahim]

Hi all,

I tried the solution on this group: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/43974093/rattle-installation-error-invalid-root-element  and it worked for me:

rattle( useGtkBuilder = TRUE)

[Thomas Tiahrt]

Hello Dr. Williams: Last Sunday morning I installed R-3.4.0 on my Windows 10 laptop and then attempted to install Rattle. I used the Iowa State mirror and it failed with the message Error in method(obj, ...) : Invalid root element: 'requires' (same as posted on this board). I uninstalled R and re-installed using the 2nd Texas mirror, which I think was a Revolution Analytics mirror. The second installation worked. On Thursday, one of my students posted this on our class discussion board: My Rattle worked fine this morning. I then made the fatal mistake of updating. Others could not get Rattle to work at all, and the 2nd Texas mirror was not on the list of CRAN sites yesterday. 

I replicated the problem with an R-3.4.0 installation on a Windows 7 desktop machine, and then went back to R-3.3.3 and down to R-3.2.5, installed each including Rattle. R-3.2.5 worked. (3.3.3, 3.3.2 and 3.3.1 all failed.) But I had 3.2.5 on that machine before. My students are not able to install R-3.2.5 and get it to work.

So it appears that a change recent enough so that I could still get a working copy on Sunday, but not yesterday, is the cause of the problem.

> I am not yet able to replicate the problem.

I suspect that if you install R-3.4.0 on a machine that has not had R before, and use the sequence:

install.packages("rattle")

library(rattle)

rattle()

That then you will see the error message.

One of my students tried the sequence that worked for Ramón Granados-Peña on her Windows 10 machine, but that failed with an Error: unexpected string constant message. Thanks for your help on this.

[Brion]

Hi,

I've actually managed to solve the issue. According to the info I found on the internet issues is related to RGkt2.

I downloaded and installed previous version of RGtk2 (https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.3/RGtk2_2.20.31.zip).

I also downloaded and installed Rattle 5.0.10 (http://rattle.togaware.com/bin/windows/contrib/3.3/rattle_5.0.10.zip).

After that Rattle works perfectly fine !

[Vangelis Sakkopoulos]

Dear colleagues,

the following steps work on windows 8.1 32-bit/x64 & 10 x64 :

using R 3.4 x64 (or 32-bit)

install RStudio Desktop 1.0.143

download locally https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.3/RGtk2_2.20.31.zip 

In the Rstudio do:

install.packages("c:/downloads/RGtk2_2.20.31.zip", repos = NULL, type = "win.binary")

library(RGtk2)

install.packages("rattle", dep=TRUE)
library("rattle")

rattle()

(this installs rattle version 4.1)

Alternatively 

Install R 3.3.3 https://mran.microsoft.com/download/   (only x64)  (I didn't manage to use 3.3.2 or 3.3.3 R directly)

install RStudio 1.0.143

donwload locally: https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.3/RGtk2_2.20.31.zip 

within Rstudio 

install.packages("c:/downloads/RGtk2_2.20.31.zip", repos = NULL, type = "win.binary")

library(RGtk2)

(a window popup gtk+ you agree YES INSTALL) // ignore any failure messages

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

rattle()

this will install rattle version 5.0.10

enjoy

Best

Vangelis

[陳政威]

Something Incredible that I can't install rattle from the official website for other computer which is install R & Rstudio first time.

What is going on????? @o@

[Gumma Ibrahim]

Hi Vangelis,

I followed your procedure ... it works.

I had to delete the RGtk2 folder for the installation to work.

Many thanks.

Gumma

[Graham Williams]

No this is unrelated to togaware timing out - that's a separate issue!

The issue arises with RGtk2 version 2.20.33. The work-around is to install RGtk2 version 2.20.31 until the problem is debugged with 2.20.33.

Thanks to everyone for your information and assistance in tracking this down.

I've update the information in the Troubleshooting page on rattle.togaware.com (http://rattle.togaware.com/rattle-install-troubleshooting.html)

Hi, Dr. Williams. I am having issues in installing rattle and uploading data into it. 

At the very beginning, I tried like this and it didn't work. 

> library(rattle)

> rattle()

Error in method(obj, ...) 

Then I changed the code and this time it worked.

>library(rattle)

> rattle(a1,b1,TRUE)

Error in `[[.GObject`(x, member) : 

  Cannot find 'retval' for classes GdkPixbuf, GObject, RGtkObject

However, I couldn't upload any data file in the rattle because the button were grey out .

I'm not sure this is caused by the incorrect installation of rattle or other reasons. 

 Anything I could do to solve this? 

Many  thanks.
