Could you provide us with some additional informations? Especially Version of R, operating system. The latest version of KNIME is 3.7 and R is 3.5.2.

Do you note any difference? Or could you provide a sample workflow where this happens so we might check if we could see something. * * * Install R > [@Importing R Code in Knime](https://forum.knime.com/t/importing-r-code-in-knime/11260/3): > > There are two basic possibilities to use R with KNIME you have a R version on your computer and you point KNIME to it (“KNIME Interactive R Statistics Integration”) KNIME provides you with an ‘integrated’ R package that sits somewhere deep in the KNIME folders (“KNIME R Statistics Integration (Windows Binaries)”) I would advise to use the first option.

It seems to be there with every R Snippet I use that generates an output table, the system is not able to get back knime.out parameters and throws strange error messages. The first part using R does work so there does not seem to be a general R problem. Well yes I tried to reinstall R, I made sure I have RServe and Cairo up and running … RServe compilation > [@KNIME : R evaluation failed.](https://forum.knime.com/t/knime-r-evaluation-failed/12560/13): > > And another thing. If you have to use the newest version of RServe you will have to compile the package.
