Hi guys, I am running SPSS 19. I had my IT guy install R version 2.10.1 and what he says is the right version of R essentials (which he says installed correctly). When I type in the following command: BEGIN PROGRAM R. END PROGRAM. A window pops up, but when I type “Q”, I get an error. In fact, when I type any command, I get an error: “Error: could not find function “SetOutputFromBrowser”” When I type this command: BEGIN PROGRAM R. x <- "R plug-in is working properly" x END PROGRAM.
I’m told I should get: BEGIN PROGRAM R. x <- "R plug-in is working properly" x END PROGRAM. [1] " R plug-in is working properly"
But the last part is missing. What has gone wrong with the install? My IT guy doesn’t want to reinstall anything until I have feedback from you folks, so he knows what to look for.

Hello Matthew,
I think you're missing a single piece of important code when using R from SPSS, I'm pretty sure that commands that would display things in R will not naturally display in SPSS you need to therefore tell the program to display the content. You should have put: BEGIN PROGRAM R. print("R plug-in is working properly") END PROGRAM. See where I got my information HERE "Lo there do I see my father. Lo there do I see my mother and my sisters and my brothers. Lo there do I see the line of my people, back to the beginning. Lo, they do call to me, they bid me take my place among them, in the Halls of Valhalla, where the brave may live...forever." |
If things are working, R text and graphics
output automatically appears in the Statistics Viewer. You can test
whether the code is actually running another way. Run this program,
which should pop up an R browser window inside Statistics
begin program r. browser() end program. Use Q to close that window. If the window does not appear, the code is not running at all.
