Statconn basic server test fails to connect with R 3.0

Sorry no. What was the exact error message? Also, did you try the XOPEN command in EViews? Maybe that would provide a better error message.

1. Error message: Method '~'of object '~' failed

2. Eviews failed to initialise

*up* no answer for this ?

we get the same Method ~ error.

It must be known by the eviews team i guess ?
os is win7 x64 enterprise with eviews8 and R 3.0 + latest statconn plugin

terrya:

That "Method '~'of object '~' failed" error you’re getting is a problem with how statconnDCOM is setup on your machine. It has nothing to do with EViews. Given that, I would try the following:

1. Re-install 32-bit R and make sure that the option to "save the path and version information" in the registry is selected.

2. When you run R, make sure you are running R 32-bit. When you launch R, look for the title in the main window. It should say “RGui (32-bit)”. Or look for the “Platform” line (usually this is the 3rd line from the top) in the “R Console” window. It looks something like this:

Code: Select all

R version 3.1.0 (2014-04-10) -- "Spring Dance"
Copyright (C) 2014 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
Platform: i386-w64-mingw32/i386 [b](32-bit)[/b]


3. Make sure you installed the “rscproxy” library properly inside of R. You can check for the existence of “rscproxy” by typing in:

Code: Select all

require(“rscproxy”)

and make sure it returns something like this:

Code: Select all

Loading required package: rscproxy

Assuming that steps 2 & 3 are ok, you may need to reinstall the statconnDCOM package by re-running their installer.

Finally, try their test program again.

Beyond this, I'm not sure what to tell you except to try a different machine. I've done these steps on Windows 7 & 8 and their test program works fine for me (as does EViews).

Thanks for the reply.

I've already carried out these steps in the past and they didn't work. But I'll try again soon. I don't use anything than 32-bit software so that is unlikely to be where the problem is located.
