<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">OK everything checks out in the command window. Path is set correctly, as is R_HOME (as a system variable). I guess this was already
evident in the first query which retrieves these correctly from plr_environ();<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I experimented by trying to run the plr sql scripts but they did not run because the functions were already defined. I guess this means
the plr extension installed correctly. R is working just fine from the directory pointed to by R_HOME. I tried your new variant but that did not work either in PgAdmin.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">As this problem exists on both my laptop and my workstation (both run windows 10 and the same versions of postgresql and postgis) I
am now at a loss. This is a pity as I use R for most of my data analysis and visualisation and it would have been nice to do this in one step. Looks like I will have to output to file and then retrieve things directly in R.
