Hello everyone, I am glad to announce the first version of the RProjectConnector, a binding between Pharo and R using NativeBoost.
You can now call directly your R methods from Pharo: data := (1 to: 1000) collect: #yourself. res := (#acf asRFunctionWith: {data}) eval To use it, you should copy the R libraries near the Pharo VM (see the documentation on SmalltalkHub to see how to proceed) and
Don’t forget to relaunch Pharo after the installation to be able to use the connector. The sources are available on Smalltalkhub: http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~VincentBlondeau/RProjectConnector

Vincent, First of all, thank you for publishing such useful package. This is a very valuable contribution and I would be glad to contribute to the RProjectConnector project. There is one thing which bothers me: Having to manually copy the R library files (.dll or .so) is time-consuming and prevents unattended installation.spec preLoadDoIt: #preLoad. The problem could be incompatibility of versions between the R installed in the user's machine and the .dll/.so versions provided by the RProjectConnector. A better option is to detect the R installation path and copying the libraries to the pharo-vm/ directory. What do you think?

Hernan, I agree that it is a problem. To detect the R installation path is complicated.
Under Windows, you should be able to extract a key in the registry to know where the program is installed. Under linux, as there is x64 and x32
R versions, and Pharo supports only x32 (but x64 soon), if you have a R x64 you should reinstall your whole Linux system to have the right libraries (I tried without success…). I think that to set the libraries available to download on a server is currently a better idea. Do you know where it can be hosted? Cheers,

Thanks for the advice
An option to upload library files could be http://files.pharo.org/ but I don't have access to. Foy my configurations I am currently using DropBox although not charming it serves well. But AFAIK you cannot link multiple accounts to one DropBox. There are other reliable options? Hernán |

Hi, I was trying to use RProjectConnector in my Mac (1.9.1) and i have some issues :(. I have copied the dynamic libraries of R to /usr/lib directory (.i.e. libR.dylib). But PharoVM does not find the libraries. For instance, this line of code returns always nil. self nbGetSymbolAddress: 'Rf_initEmbeddedR' module: #R "copied from the project" I also tried copying the libraries to folder Pharo.app/Contents/MacOS/Plugins. or passing the library name as parameter like: self nbGetSymbolAddress: 'Rf_initEmbeddedR' module: 'libR.dylib' or self nbGetSymbolAddress: 'Rf_initEmbeddedR' module: '/usr/lib/libR.dylib' But i had not success. Could someone help me? I am doing something wrong? Thanks, Juampi 2014-12-08 11:10 GMT-03:00 Blondeau Vincent <[hidden email]>:

Hi again, This is how to copy the R Windows dll's to the Pharo VM directory, detecting the installation path using the registry (requires latest OSWindows package). Tested under Windows 8.1| rPath dlls | (rPath := WinRegistry queryValue: 'InstallPath' fromKey: (WinRegistryKey localMachine queryOpenSubkey: 'Software\\R-core\\R')) notNil ifTrue: [ dlls := (rPath asFileReference / 'bin' / 'i386') entries select: [ : entry | entry extension = 'dll' ] thenDo: [ : dllEntry | dllEntry asFileReference copyTo: Smalltalk vmDirectory asFileReference / dllEntry basename ] ]. Would you integrate it into ConfigurationOfRProjectConnector? Cheers, Hernán 2014-12-19 7:52 GMT-03:00 Blondeau Vincent <[hidden email]>:

Hi Juampi, I know that the libraries are difficult to configure. We will improve that. I don’t have a Mac, but as far as I know, you need to put the R libraries where are the Pharo ones like “libAsynchFilePlugin.dylib”. If you didn’t do it, you need to restart the Pharo image at each time you change the library location and you need to install R (to copy the libraries seems
not enough). If it works, inspect “self nbGetSymbolAddress: 'Rf_initEmbeddedR' module: #R” should show you a NBExternalAddress instead of nil. Furthermore, you need to use the 32 bits R libraries, Pharo doesn’t not support yet the 64 bit libs. I hope that will be helpful,
