Can you post more detail about exactly what you are doing? Are you using a script or a program?
The R plugin (which is fully documented in a pdf file accessible from the Help menu after you install it) is a program construct, not a script, but depending on exactly how you invoke your script, you may be able to run R programs from it.
Having multiple versions of R installed will not matter. V 17 will look for R 2.7; V 18 will look for 2.8.
With V18, by the way, the R browser() and debug() functions are supported with the R plugin, which is a great help in developer R code - once you get the program going.
There is a forum for R questions on Developer Central (look on the right of the main page). I don't think this particular topic has been discussed there, but it's a reasonable place to post questions of this sort.

Jon Peck

Subject: [SPSSX-L] spss v17.0 and R 2.70 install and startup
problem: connect SPSS script with R calling data from server.
question: how to get it started?
I can't get my start program to work in my SPSS 17 script which starts my R
session and it's SQL passed to my Postgres database on the server.
I went to the SPSS /devcentral site and downloaded the app that support R
and scripting. I also uninstalled R 2.8, etc.
There is no support on the SPSS site that I can find. Tech support said they
are not equipped to know about spss/Devcentral tools.
One clue was
R:
>library(foreign)
>library(spss_17.0)
the specifications the library I am not aware of or how to obtain it from
R-project/CRAN.
Any successful stories are welcomed!
Steve
