Question about rarcproxy.dll #13

Closed DJSherwood closed 8 years ago

DJSherwood commented 8 years ago

Greetings!

I really like the idea of having ready access to the R program through ArcGIS. Unfortunately, I am having a problem which I hope has a straightforward solution.

I installed the "arcgisbinding" package for R and get the correct build number for the version of ArcGIS I use (10.3.1). The output from arc.check_product() says "binding dll: rarcproxy." When I run the "R Installation Details" script from within ArcGIS, I receive the correct version of R (3.2.1) in the correct location (H:\R\R-3.2.1).

But when I attempt to run the semiparametric regression tool (I obtained it from here: https://github.com/R-ArcGIS/r-sample-tools), I receive the error:

Start Time: Wed Dec 02 14:02:52 2015 Running script SemiparametricRegression... Cannot find 'rarcproxy.dll'. Plese install Rintegration package. Failed to execute (SemiparametricRegression).

Is there a way that I can troubleshoot this problem? The two programs seem to see each other, but the error suggests otherwise.

Thank you for your time!

Please check if following folders are exist - C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.3\Rintegration\arcgisbinding "arcgisbinding" folder should be symbolic link to C:\Users\Documents\R\win-library\3.2\arcgisbinding (or H:\R\R-3.2.1\library\arcgisbinding) If folder structure is not correct find and delete "arcgisbinding" directory, then re-install R bridge.

Thank you!

I attempted several things, and in the process destroyed my progress. I've started over:

* The R-Bridge (unzipped from the repository) is within C:\Program

Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.3\Rintegration . * The library "arcgisbinding" is within C:\Program Files\R\R-3.2.1\library . * arc.check_product() (using the above mentioned version of R) gives ArcGIS desktop (10.3.1.4959) and mentions "binding dll: rarcprocxy." * But "Install R Bindings" says"Unable to find valid R installation. Please Install R."

Where does the "install R bindings" script expect to find the R executable? Perhaps this is a problem with my registry? What should I look for to determine if it is?

Thank you for your time and patience!

I assume you are making manual install. You need to make symbolic link from regular R packages directory to ArcGIS\Desktop10.3\Rintegration Open command prompt (cmd.exe) and execute this line: mklink /J "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.3\Rintegration\arcgisbinding" "C:\Program Files\R\R-3.2.1\library\arcgisbinding"

I managed to make it work. The R-bridge kept focusing on my version of R installed on my H:/ drive. In the end, I had to uninstall R everywhere, and then re-install it on C:/.

Thank you for your help. I think this will be quite fun.

@DJSherwood, glad you got this to work for you. By default, our installer looks into the registry to determine the R installation. In the case of multiple installations, it may locate a different version than the one you intended to use -- by default, we use the newest install. Unfortunately, we do have to chose a single install and it can be confusing on machines with multiple installations of R.
