Here's a linux equivalent of SAS Dataminer

I need urgently Rattle for my student work !! It may be not difficult for a good linuxer to build it

http://rattle.togaware.com/rattle-screenshots.html

Require : R, atk,cairo,pango,gtk and obviously bash and make (to compile)

Starting is easy , just install tazpkg R and launch it .
Then enter
_______________________________________________

install.packages("package_name", dependencies = TRUE)

or

install.packages(rattle, dependencies = c("Depends", "Suggests"))
_______________________________________________

but it seems needing something related with i486 compiling stuff .. I don't know what

My classmate have a credit card (dislike me) and I will be ready to finance up to 30~40 € the Linux-Solution trip of Pansko. But it's quite urgent :s , so if anybody can help me by doing a good tazpkg :))

Er, that trip was in the last weekend of April, so you're a little late on that.

Anyway, have you tried converting it from another distro's packages?

Let's consider then I will finance his return-ticket to zwasiland ;)

No it doesn't exist as an all-in-one package. I easily install some packages like FactoMineR
but here, obviously , there's something about compiling or I don't know what.. :/

You are great moderator, you should be able to detect what is troubling during the building.
If u success make functional package, I finance but u can consider u are the donator to Pasko and probably u will have a new grade on the forum

I'm not really sure how it works. All I did was help some people that were experiencing issues I solved for myself before or could easily google and occasionally generated packages I and other people wanted using the tazpkg convert. The latter I got good at because of practice.

Anyway, the problem you describe is why I combine packages into one. It's fine with packages that we have in the repository, but I didn't want to install 5-10 coverted dependancies just so I can run the main package. I just figured other people wouldn't like it either, so hence the combined packages.

I'll look into Rattle for you and see how hard it would be to convert and how big it would be to do. If it's 5MB or less and not too dependancy mad, then I could probably do it in an hour. I won't know how to test it though, so that'll be up to you to figure out if it works or not.

It's not a combinaison of tazpkg's, it's just the tazpkg R but coming with some extra stuff you can install within R. (Exactly similar than other languages like Python,Ruby...). But it seems that, for this special extra (Rattle), some compiling is required (other non-graphical extra are not necessary).
The advantage of building all together is that looks like a friendly-user GTK data-mining tool ready-to-use out of box.
