Hi, I am trying to use xgobi with R on a windows XP machine. I downloaded the package, which seems to have worked and started on the tutorial supplied. The command data(laser) works fine but the command xgobi(laser) returns C:/PROGRA~1/R/rw1051/library/xgobi/scripts/xgobi.bat -vtitle 'laser' -std mmx C:/DOCUME~1/Adam/LOCALS~1/Temp/xgobi-laser19169>with nothing else. I have looked at the xgobi.bat file and it seems like it is trying to call an xgobi.exe file, which it is not finding. I tried to find this file on my own to redirect the .bat file, but it does not show up in any of my searches. I also looked for the temp file, but it was also not there. Can someone please help me set this up so it works? Thanks much, Adam _____________________________________________________________________ Adam F.

Let's cite the file INSTALL from the xgobi package, as suggested by library(help=xgobi): " Xgobi for Windows can be obtained from http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/SWin Install and test this first. You will need to customize the batch files in the scripts directory for your installation. The example files there work for mine. You might want to set the properties of the batch files under Win 9x to `Close on exit' after you have them working.

You need to read the INSTALL file in the Windows version of the xgobi package (and follow its instructions).
