Well, I have been busy getting child #4 off on her way to college (joining #2). So now it is quite with just the 2 youngest and I can get work done again!. tar stops as follows: /root/.nautilus/metafiles/x-nautilus-desktop:%2F%2F52F.xml tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors. I thought perhaps this is some file locked becuase I was running from a terminal session in gnome. So I

I have a file Server CentOS 5.10, its on the internet, so I compress all csv into one file using (tar -czvf compressed_files.tar.gz *.csv) on this server so that I can download them as one compressed file to save bandwidth, Disk space on this server available is 50Gig, so when I copy the files onto Redhat EL 5.9 and decompress them using (tar -zxvf *.gz) It decompresses maybe 80% then get error:

Hello everybody! Out of curiosity: What (backup) solutions do you use to let rsync store device files and ownership permissions without root privileges? I found out about "fakeroot" so far. Is there actually a practical use for the "--super" option? I didn't find anything as fakeroot doesn't need it... Additionally it would be a nice idea to refer to

Nicholas: Regarding your problem: "The SGI server is only serving files, no home directories, no printers (we have separate NT servers for each of those functions), and it is using "SERVER" level security. Encryption is on. Guest logins are disabled ... I'm confused greatly by this - one day, a user's login will work, another day, it'll suddenly stop working. "

Hi I have a package which was built using R 1.9.1 and everything worked fine. I recently upgraded to R 2.0.1 and tried to re-install my package - and I got: Error in library(mypackage) : 'mypackage' is not a valid package -- installed < 2.0.0? So I tried rebuilding it using my new version of R: R CMD BUILD --binary mypackage hhc: not found cp: cannot stat `mypackage.chm': No

Function/file names are hypothetical. Say I have written myfunction.R, which calls myfunction.c via .C("myfunction", ...). I've compiled successfully myfunction.c via R CMD SHLIB myfunction.c in the terminal. Then, in the R console: dyn.load("myfunction.so") source("myfunction.R") test <- myfunction() # works fine So everything is in order, myfunction works

Hello. I have what I know to be a simple question, but never having done anything like this it is pretty tough. I'm trying to write an R package. I have a collection of functions that I loaded into R and then used package.skeleton(). After editing everything in the resulting folder, call it NewPackage, I tried to follow along with some instructions I found for Windows users. I installed

I have some questions about 1. nomenclature, 2. recommended file locations and 3. overall procedure related to creating packages. To the extent that it matters, examples here relate to Windows XP R 2.0.1 beta. The questions are interspersed and prefaced with ***. My understanding is that there are actually 6 forms of a package that one should use in package development: 1.

Dear friends, I am building an R package called *mypackage*. I followed every possible steps (to my understanding) for the same.

I'm putting together an R package. I would like to show example code in the vignette, where example data files (included in the package) are used to generate an (example) output file. I read about using example data in Hadley Wickham's post ( http://r-pkgs.had.co.nz/data.html), and believe I should keep my example data as raw data, as it must be parsed to generate the output. So, I

Hi, I need to link mypackage to 2 other packages so I can call some C functions defined in these 2 packages from mine. I've tried Depends: packageA, packageB LinkingTo: packageA, packageB as suggested by the "5.4 Registering native routines" section of the "Writing R Extensions" manual but then only packageA is seen at compilation time (gcc is called with

I have question regarding package installation. What is the difference between check, INSTALL, build and build --binary, which imply which and what order does one normally perform them? I have been trying: R CMD build /mypackage R CMD check /mypackage R CMD build --binary /mypackage in that order but wanted to check that this is right. Also, what portion of the check process can be run

how do you backup system files like /etc/ over ssh to another machine and keep permissions the same on the remote backup location ? i tried using -a flag, but because i'm connecting through ssh i'm not using Rsync module on the remote computer and therefore i cant write files as root so -a flag is not working. all the files are being written with owner SSH_USER and group SSH_USER_GROUP i

Hi I found yum-downloadonly and executed my command do that and save the dependencies in my current directory.

Dear List, I’m doing my first baby steps towards developing own R Packages and ran into the following problem: R CMD check mypackage works fine (no errors, no warnings) R CMD build mypackage works fine (no errors, no warnings) R CMD INSTALL –library=”C:\R\R-2.11.1\library” “something\mypackage\mypackage_1.0.tar.gz” works fine (no errors, no warnings) However, when I try loading the

Error: package 'quadprog' could not be loaded I previously used C:\Program Files\R\rw2011\library as my library for CRAN packages and did not have a problem but now that I use C:\Program Files\R\library this problem

i found a couple messages in the archives relating to backups vs. distribution and ownership issues without root privs that kinda touched on the idea of storing meta info (ownership, modes, acls) in a separate file. has anyone else looked at storing meta data in a side file of some sort? it seems that it could be done all on the client side. send over files with totally plain meta info and

hi R folks, I need read a file from hardisk or www web. Then I need to define some new functions according to the contents of the read file. For example, i need write a package name "mypackage" like this: >library(mypackage) >read(some_file_on_web) #to see its content, suppose it contains: eat.drink.sleep then 3 new functions need to be created and usable. the problem is, how
