Does the interface not work for trial edition? I am working on a 64 bit linux machine with the trial version.  
I change the makefile 2nd line to Q=~/q/l32. It compiled and moved rserver.so to the l32 dir.

When i ran the command&nbsp;Ropen:`rserver 2:(`ropen;1), it gave an error saying&nbsp;wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64.

I can see that there is one more instance where i need to change the $(MS) to l32 but doing so results in compilation errors.

Regards, &nbsp;

Is there a way I can make functions declared in R work with Rserve? i.e an equivalent of source(‘filename’) in rserve?

You should be able to do source(“filename”) in rserve. What do you get when you try this? You may need “fileio enable” but this is the default.

I tried Rcmd “source(‘file.R’)” but it doesn’t load the functions. When I do Rget “ls()”, the functions are not listed.

Not sure if i understood.  
Tried&nbsp;Rget “print(ls())” and it lists the same functions. my Rcmd “source(‘file.R’)” added no new functions.

Using cwd() you will see where R is actually pointing. Then change the path to the directory where the R script is located. Then try to source the R file again.\<o:p\>\</o:p\>

If it is still not working just ask.\<o:p\>\</o:p\>
