I installed the free 32-bit version in c:/q and the qserver.r code in c:/r and ran the test.R file that came with the Qserver code and got the following error:
> source(“c:/r/qserver.r”)
> c <- open_connection()
Error in open_connection() : No error

Anyone have any tips for me? Do I need to do anything special or should it just work out of the box? I maintained the same director structure they suggested in the read me.
did you start the kdb+ process listening on the port 5000?
e.g. at the windows cmd prompt
q -p 5000
or at the q command prompt
q)\p 5000
I just started q the regular way. Switching to port 5000 fixed the issue. I see I have a long road ahead.
Hi Roger,
thanks for reporting this scenario - it has revealed a bug in the windows build for that lib, in that the error message is incorrect. e.g. on osx you would have seen
Error in open_connection() : Connection refused
which might have led you to figure out the process was not listening.
thanks
