[kepler-users] Question about R workflow in Mac OS X

[Jorge A. Ahumada]

Dan,

Thanks. I am using R 2.3.1 RC.

I tried the workflow you sent..but it didn¹t work either. Attached is the
error message I got..I downloaded the new ImageJ and replaced the ij.jar in
/Applications/kepler-1.0.0beta1/lib/jar, restarted Kepler and tried to run
the workflow, but still no success..


Thanks,

Jorge
