[R] Unable to run RcmdrPlugin.survival using 3.2.2 with Windows 10
Dear John, Dear List,
Thank you for responding. Like you, I have tried uninstalling R and
reinstalling again. Question 1: having uninstalled R, how do you delete the
package library?
I have used defaults throughout the process, except for running the whole
things as Administrator rather than a User. For the mirror, my first two
install attempts were via a mirror in Germany. My 3rd and 4th attempts via
Cambridge, UK.
Perhaps importantly: the first time I ran the RcmdrPlugin.survival plug-in
it worked fine. I got half way through the exercise I was attempting, then
closed the programs for the night. The next day, when I tried to reload the
plugin from R Commander, the plugin asked me to restart R Commander, but on
opting for "Yes", this is when R Commander does not open properly.
My thanks to you and the list for your time. Joyaa (Gold Coast, Queensland,
Australia)

Dear Joyaa,
I too run R 3.2.2 on a Windows 10 system. I uninstalled R, deleted my
package library, and then reinstalled R and the Rcmdr and
RcmdrPlugin.survival packages. I took all defaults, except that I selected
the SDI rather than the default MDI for Rgui, but I seriously doubt that
this is the source of your problem. I used the 0-Cloud mirror, both for R
3.2.2 and for packages.
I'm afraid that I can't duplicate your problem -- everything works
perfectly
fine for me.
You provided a reasonable amount of detail, but is there anything else you
can add?
Best,
John

Hello r-help,
I am quite new to R. I downloaded R 3.2.2 for Windows to use with Windows
10.
On attempting to load the RcmdrPlugin.survival plug-in I got this error
message:
Error in structure(.External(.C_dotTclObjv, objv), class = "tclObj") :
[tcl] invalid command name "configure".
The lead-up to this was:
* I uninstalled R 3.2.2 and deleted all R files I could find.
* Downloaded R 3.2.2 to do a fresh install
* Opened the .exe file as Administrator
* Ran 64-bit R as Administrator
* Updated all packages
* Installed Rcmdr and RcmdrPlugin.survival
* Ran Rcmdr using library(Rcmdr) from the console
* This required an install of a host of packages, which I installed
* Loaded RcmdrPlugin.survival from the Tools menu
* I was asked to restart R commander, and when I tried it didn?t open
properly (showing only File/Edit/Data in the menu bar), and this wouldn?t
close properly either. The error message as above showed in the console.
I haven?t posted to the list before and would be very grateful for help.
Thank you. Joyaa

My guess is that this is the source of your problem. If so, the saved workspace is in the file .RData in your home directory; delete it and try again. If this works, in future, exit from the Rcmdr and R via the Rcmdr menus (or if closing R directly, don't save the workspace).

[R] Unable to run RcmdrPlugin.survival using 3.2.2 with Windows 10
Dear John, Very many thanks. Your hypothesis was completely correct - I did save the workspace, and this is what created the problem. As a newbie, being part way through an "exercise", saving my workspace intuitively seemed the right thing to do. Clearly not! So now, before I closed R and Rcmdr, I copied and pasted from Rcmdr's script file into a MS Word document, added a few comments (with preceding #), and then closed without otherwise saving R's script, output, workspace or markdown. I hope this is reasonable practice. If not, I would be grateful for guidance on this. Once again, very many thanks.
