Dear all, Recently, I installed the KDE desktop under my Linux system, but Included also the Gnome desktop (actually, I installed everything that comes in the openSUSE cd). My question about R is the following. I would like to run some kind of console under Linux. I was reading and first I found out that there is a GUI under gnome, just by typing the command line R -g gnome; however, to do this I need first to install the package gnomeGUI. Will this package still work under KDE. So far I have been able to run all GNOME applications under KDE, but I don't know about this one. Kindly regards, Luis LO

However, it is minimal console and uses old GNOME libraries (GTk not GTk2) so what you have on a modern OS might not be enough to install it. -- Brian D.

I use the Kate editor (FC6, KDE, R 2.4.1) whihc allows me to pipe commands to a console window with a key binding. Works well.

It is a GTK2-based GUI for R and probably has more features than the Gnome GUI.
