[R] Error Running arules

[Stephen H. Dawson, DSL]

Hi Ivan,


Thanks for the response.

I added the line to the top of my script:
traceback()

I ran my script with my arules code today. Now, there are no errors. I 
am now getting the expected output from my install, the same output as 
the arules package maintainer is getting per his email to me on his 
findings.

I looked over my notes from the past few days. I did get a kernel update 
from my distribution repository after posting to the help list. I have 
not had the time over the weekend to run the arules script again to 
determine if things are working as expected. I also wanted to take the 
time and think about the problem from a distance to gain perspective.

I can only conclude at this point the kernel used when running the code 
last week was not compatible with r-base 4.2.

I will be grateful for the little things in life being resolved without 
the pain of doing a rinse-and-repeat exercise of uninstalling and 
installing R.


Kindest Regards,
