[postgis-users] Installation of PL/R: Updata

[Volkmar Herbst]

Thanks for the info- good to know. Also for me the PostGis in action book
was the start- very well written and of great practical use.

Good luck with your project.

Dear Volkmar,

 

I contacted the author (Joe Conway) of the PL/R package and he confirmed
that the dll had not yet been compiled for PG9.1.2 - clearly being a decent
chap he quickly produced a dll for me which I am glad to report works as
intended (I think he will do a little more testing before releasing it into
the wild) - sometime the open source community make me glad to be alive! J. 

 

Thumbs up also for Regina/Leo and the PostGIS in action book, Ch10 had me
using PL/R in no time - so now I only have to learn postgresql, postgis and
R  - sounds like some fun days ahead. No doubt I'll be back.

HI,

I did install R several times and run also often into this issue. Try the
32bit  one and set the path C:\Program Files\R\R-2.13.1\bin\i386  in your
environment. Create new variable R_HOME  value->C:\Program Files\R\R-2.13.1
Make sure that plr.dll is in C:\Program Files (x86)\PostgreSQL\9.0\lib.
Restart postgres after that. If you receive errors check if you did not
install it already by using plr_environ() in postgres. These are the few
things I can think of. May be you have already tried them all..

Apologies if this is not the right mail list for this but my confusion
arises because of my 32 bit PostGIS install!

 

I have postgis2SVN sitting on top of postgresql 9.1 (32 bit) on a 64 bit
version of windows (working fine).  I installed R-2.14.1 and tried to follow
the instructions given here

 

http://www.bostongis.com/PrinterFriendly.aspx?content_name=postgresql_plr_tu
t01

 

Now I tried both the 32bit and 64bit dll from http://www.joeconway.com/plr/ 

 

I ran the sql script supplied but get  ERROR:  could not load library
"C:/Program Files (x86)/PostgreSQL/9.1/lib/plr.dll": The specified procedure
could not be found.

 

Needless to say plr.dll is in that location (I have tried both versions).

 

Any suggestions would be welcome (and apologies if this is a dumb question).

 

Thanks

 

Darrel
