Update (for me): * On HPUX (cc/f77/make), make check passes the Examples but fails in arith-true.R because is.infinite(.Machine$double.base ^ .Machine$double.max.exp) gives FALSE. Interestingly> .Machine$double.base[1] 2> .Machine$double.max.exp[1] 1024> 2 ^ 1024[1] 1.797693e+308> 2 ^ 1025[1] 1.797693e+308> 2 ^ 2024[1] 1.797693e+308 so I guess we need help here. * On AIX (gcc/f77/make), make check fails in the contour example contor> contour(x, x, z, col = "pink", add = TRUE) Error: missing value where logical needed -k -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

I am new on your list... S language source code again available and in the Public Domain was a great hope for me. I remember that parts of S code was written in Ratfor. Now there are still Fortran routines. Would they stay as is? I have nothing against Fortran but it adds another compiler which is not as available as C and which exists on too various forms (g77, f2c at least). For example my g77 (2.7) compiler on AIX 4.1 did not know what a "save" was. I haven't found an history of the different sources which builds the actual R. But looking at the sources themself gives you an idea. A former question on this list asked for a easy access to the archives, so is there a Web access to the archives? I built 0.64.2 on Linux (4.1) without any difficulty (most of you work on Linux I presume). On AIX, ./configure used gcc and g77 and I got a working R executable without too much difficulties. I just received a first email from your list where the IEEE standard of AIX was discussed; thus I presumed that my executable is not working so well. I am not sure to have the time necessary to compile 0.65 and to be "with you" but at least I will look at your mailing list and give you information on AIX if I can. Thanks for your work. It is a big work. When I was teaching Mathematical Demography in the Department of Statistics of ANU for one semester in 1993 I was surprised by the overall S knowledge of the students. Most of my exams where easily solved with S (Demography uses a lot of data). Back to France I couldn't go as far with the students who only had Excel. Now with the availability of R (on Windows mainly) I will try to use it with my French students. -- Nicolas Brouard Institut national d'études démographiques Paris mailto:brouard@ined.fr http://sauvy.ined.fr/~brouard -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
