Rgnome is not terribly bright. If there is no R_HOME value set, it will segfault and crash. The resolution is to set R_HOME correctly: R_HOME=/usr/lib/R /usr/lib/R/bin/exec/Rgnome (or just globally set it with: export R_HOME=/usr/lib/R ) When I get a little more time, I'll try to fix it to behave a little more sanely, but this should get it functioning for you.
