R help - Mar 2009 - RExcel rcom Server Loading The Wrong Version of R

Hi,

 

I'm pretty new to R and VERY new to RExcel.  I've just finished setting
it up and I'm having some problems.  My first Issue is that if I attempt
to use a function like RApply("sum", A1:A4) from within excel it gives
me an error saying "There seems to be no R process connected to the
server" I can then see an R Console open up and I get a message saying R
Server not available.  The weird thing is that the r console that opens
up is R 2.7.1 and I did all of the installation of rcom and rexcel on R
2.7.2.  I've tried uninstalling 2.7.1 but I get an error saying that it
can not find the unistall file.  Is it possilbe that When I installed R
2.7.2 I did something wrong that is causing this problem?  If I start
running R2.7.2 and then open excel and try using Rapply it works
perfectly but I don't want to have to manually start R every time.

 

The second question I have is in regards to using RApply to call R
functions which rely on functions in other libraries.  I've resorted to
creating a function in my excel file which looks something like... 

Cell         Function

 

A1           getLibs<-function(){

A2           library(MBESS)

A3           library(corpcor)

A4           }

 

B1           =rproc(A1:A4)

C1           =rApply("getLibs")

 

Is their a better way to go about accomplishing this?  Thanks in advance
for any insights you have either of these quesitons

 

Ben
