Hi all I am trying to package a library in R 1.6.1 (Windoze XP). I have read the document "Writing R extensions" and think I have done things correctly (though apparently not). I have searched the mail archives for help to no avail. I also posted a few days ago and thanks to Peter Dalgaard I have managed to focus my search for errors. I am trying to create a library in R. I run the

Dear R People: I'm using R-2.8.1 on Ubuntu Jaunty jackalope (or whatever its name is), and having a problem with the vignette function: > vignette("snowfall") sh: /usr/bin/xpdf: not found > Has anyone run into this, please? Or is this for the Debian R list, please? Thanks, Erin -- Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences

I'm in the process of porting a set of routines from S to R (the 'asypow' package) and have struck one or two problems that I've been unable to clear up with the documentation I have. I may simply need a pointer to the right docs. I managed to get the code to run with minimal changes, but in order to get it to load using library(), had to run it through: R CMD build ... and

Hi All, I have recently created an Rcmdr plugin package and it passed all the checks and was uploaded to CRAN. I then downloaded it from CRAN and tried running it from my local R program and received this error: ... Error in f(libname, pkgname) : could not find function "getRcmdr" Error in library(pkg, character.only = TRUE) : .First.lib failed for 'RcmdrPlugin.MAc' In my

Dear R Debian People: I put this on the "big list" too.

Hi, I can't pinpoint exactly since what R version I first noticed this error, but are others seeing this? R> vignette("grid") R> sh: : command not found instead of having the vignette displayed in the proper viewer? This is with: R> sessionInfo() R version 2.9.2 (2009-08-24) x86_64-pc-linux-gnu locale:

Dear R-users, I am trying to figure out why I cannot print vignettes in my new R installation (R.11 on opensuse 11.2). Apparently, vignette objects are properly created but could not be printed: > z<-vignette('grid') > str(z) List of 3 $ file : chr "/usr/lib/R/library/grid/doc/grid.Snw" $ pdf : chr "/usr/lib/R/library/grid/doc/grid.pdf" $ topic: chr

I need some help understanding a problem running the tests on the 'digest' package. Initially, I got the message that the 'knitr' package was needed to run vignettes: Running vignettes for package ?digest? Error in loadVignetteBuilder(vigns$pkgdir) : vignette builder 'knitr' not found So I installed the knitr package and all its dependents (?mime?, ?stringi?,

tools::R_user_dir() provides configurable directories for R packages to write persistent information consistent with standard best practices relative to each supported operating systems for applications to store data, config, and cache information respectively. These standard best practices include writing to directories in the users home filespace, which is also specifically against CRAN policy.

Hello All R-Gurus: ISSUE: Cannot view R vignettes due in Ubuntu Linux (a debian variant). note: this issue has been posted to this list before with no responses given see https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2007-September/141178.html DETAILS: I am trying to view an R vignette. Here is the situation: I issue the openvignette(), then select the vignette I wish to view...and the system returns:

below is a very simple bash script to run Sweave from a cygwin terminal, run pdflatex on the generated .tex file, and then view the resulting .pdf output. i usually use cygwin when i am (forced to be on) Windoze, but i found a few issues with paths that this script works around. pdfview, used in the script, is simply:

Each day the daily balance in the following link http://www. snamretegas.it/italiano/business/gas/bilancio/pdf/bilancio.pdf is updated.

(Warning: There is some potential that this message is redundant.) I think that i have spotted an issue with R CMD check that does not trace back to a rare case, so it must have been reported already or i am doing something stupid. However, to be sure and because I did not find any comments on this while searching the R mailing lists, here is what i did: R CMD check . from within a package

Hello, The vignette concept, which started in Bioconductor, seems to be catching on. They are supported by R CMD build/check and documented in the Writing R Extensions manual. I think vignettes are a fantastic way to introduce new users to a package. However, getting new users to realize that a vignette is available can be challenging. For some time now, we have had a function in Biobase that

For those who are interested, I have made available a R function for noncentral hypergeometric distribution at http://www.geocities.com/jg_liao/software/Hypergeometric/hypergeometric_in_R.txt The paper that describes the algorithm will appear in The American Statistician. The function does not run on S-plus as the R's scoping rule is used. Here is how the function can be used: > n1

It appears that file.copy() does not protect against the case when one copies one directory to a subdirectory of itself resulting in it trying to create and endless recursive copy of itself. REPRODUCIBLE EXAMPLE: src <- "foo" dir.create(src); file.copy(src, src, recursive=FALSE) # ok file.copy(src, src, recursive=TRUE) # PROBLEM
