Hi Brad,

Following up on this because AnalysisPageServer is still broken in
release. Can you please fix?

Thanks.

We made a change, removing R from the PATH on the linux and windows machines (on Mac R is in /usr/bin so it's a bad idea to remove that directory from the PATH) because we realized that there are packages that fail when R is not in the PATH, and one can't assume that R will always be in the path, so we wanted to make sure those packages failed so that we'd find the problems. That seems to be what is happening in your case.
