Hi, I have used tinn-R (http://www.sciviews.org/Tinn-R/) but that's mainly an editor, not much debugging. But have a look.

As in Java, it is interepreted language but there are few native compilers for it and there are many good IDE. Are there similar things for R? if so where can I find them? Many Thanks.

I don't know of any IDE for R that contains a debugger, but I do use the StatET plugin for Eclipse. It is mainly an editor for R, much like Tinn-R, but I find it useful because it has an svn plugin that allows me to see the Bioconductor repositories in a tree structure (like Windows Explorer) and monitor development activity. What was Insightful Corporation and is now part of TIBCO produced a debugger within Eclipse for R's cousin S-PLUS, so for you developers out there it is possible to integrate the the R engine into IDE's like Eclipse to provide step debugging capabilities, "watch" variable evaluation, and code profiling activities.
