They appear OK in the R buffer. This is help from the R side, not from the org-babel side. If these suggestions don't work, one of the babelers will have to step in. Many functions that print output to the interactive buffer will not produce that output when called outside of the interactive buffer. For these functions, if you wrap them in print() you can usually get the results you want. So, in your R code blocks, try print(summary(whatever)) and print(str(whatever)) If all you need is the names of the columns, print(names(whatever)) might be useful.
