Rattle installation issues on Windows 7

[izza...@hotmail.com]

Hi all,
Iam not a programmer so I am new to the “PATH”, “Lib” business, any
way.

Iam installing rattle on the new R2.14.0 and Windows 7 _64.

I ended up removing all the GTK2 related pieces to make sure I had no
other copies on my system and installed it from within R, I think the
package was RGTK2+. Restarted R and tested rattle but the issues I
have were not resolved.

The two errors messages I see are as follows, the first one happens
right after I start rattle with the command rattle()

(rsession.exe:4012): Gtk-WARNING **: Unknown property:
GtkMenuBar.ubuntu-local
Rattle timestamp: 2011-12-16 19:26:42

The other one is usually experienced when I try to load Rdata. I have
not tried to load other kinds of data so I am not sure if the problem
is specific to the Rdata only. The errors are:

(rsession.exe:4012): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_builder_get_object:
assertion `GTK_IS_BUILDER (builder)' failed
Error in set.cursor() : attempt to apply non-function

I ran rattleInfo() and the results are bellow:

This sounds like the same issue we were having with Mac OSX. Try:

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

If that fixes it, I'll have to somehow fix the .ui file globally.
Please let me know how you go.

thanks for the reply.  That didn't solve the problem but something else did!

 I used to open rattle from within Rstudio.  I tried to open it from R itself and it worked.  

I didn't see cautions about opening rattle from within Rstudio, if I missed them I am sorry.  But I think my issue is solved.

Thanks for the update.

I had not heard of issues with RStudio before. I just tried it and all
looks okay on Ubuntu with RStudio. Might be Windows related. I'll do
some testing.
