[galaxy-user] [Gmod-help] Missing tools in my configured galaxy

To unpack this mystery, you need to follow the chain from
tool_conf.xml (that's what the tool menu is made from) to the actual
tool directory and xml file name - eg:

rerla at rosst61:~/rgalaxy$ grep -i group tool_conf.xml
..
    <tool file="stats/grouping.xml" />
..

That means you need to look in [galaxyroot]/tools/stats for
grouping.xml to understand what the tool menu entry is going to do.

The actual command is found in the first few lines of the tool xml file:

rerla at rosst61:~/rgalaxy$ head tools/stats/grouping.xml
<tool id="Grouping1" name="Group" version="1.9.4">
  <description>data by a column and perform aggregate operation on
other columns.</description>
  <command interpreter="python">
    grouping.py
      $out_file1
....

so the python script you want is in /tools/stats/grouping.py - I'd be
surprised if that's AWOL from a fresh mercurial clone?

Now for the harder part: unfortunately the error message was missing,
but my first guess is that your Python does not (yet) have rpy
installed.

There's a slew of dependencies described at
https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/ToolDependencies

I hope this helps?

Thus, when I try to run Graph/display data I get the same error. How can I rectify this?  I configured the Galaxy suite yesterday, following the on-line Galaxy tutorial. Is it possible for somebody to forward the relevant py scripts for my to place in my galaxy-dist/tools directory.
