Hi all,

I use window for my work computers so I have been using Grass under Cygwin and the latest native WinGrass and R for windows. By the way the WinGrass RC3 look GREAT!!!!

I want to use the R package spgrass6. Can/How do I start windows R within cygwin and WinGrass?

Thanks

Use a console interface - under cygwin I usually start an xterm within the GRASS
session, then start R within that (either Rgui or Rterm). You may need to set
.libPaths() within R, and may also need to check the working directory in Rgui,
depending on environment variable settings.

I have never tried this, but how I would: launch GRASS in text mode (either edit your .grassrc6 file and set GRASS_GUI to 'text' then click on your grass63.bat file, or launch cmd.exe and type 'c:\grass6rc3\bin\grass.bat -text' - adapt the path to wherever you dezipped grass). Then you have GRASS in command line mode and you should be able to launch R from there by typing 'R'. You might have to add the path of R's binaries and libraries to the PATH: 'set PATH=%PATH%;c:\R\bin;c:\R\lib' (again adapt according to your installation).

Tell us if it works.
