I've tried building R in Windows and had trouble compiling Bitmap.dll (make bitmapdll) and the docs (make docs). See make output below: E:\R\R-1.9.1\src\gnuwin32>make bitmapdll make -C bitmap make[1]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/e/R/R-1.9.1/src/gnuwin32/bitmap' make[3]: `libz.a' is up to date. make[3]: scripts/makefile.std: No such file or directory make[3]: *** No rule to make

Hi all I am trying to build an R package, which I have successfully done many times before, but have an error I cannot trace. I hope someone can help me. Here's is some edited output (full output below if it is useful): pdunn2 at PDunnUbuntu:~/DSdata$ R CMD build GLMsData * checking for file 'GLMsData/DESCRIPTION' ... OK * preparing 'GLMsData': * checking DESCRIPTION

After configure, make and make check on a linux Suse 7.3 box, I run make dvi and make info with no problems but get a lot of garbage to my screen during make pdf. Is this normal? Is there a bug in this part of the installation? This is part of what I get on the screen: humboldt:/usr/local/R-patched # make pdf make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/R-patched/doc' make[2]: Entering

I'm looking for a Windows distribution of TeX that works with R, after a few years' absence from Windows. On Duncan Murdoch's Rtools page fptex is still recommended, but it turns out that fptex is "defunct" as of May 2005, see http://www.metz.supelec.fr/~popineau/xemtex-7.html So, what is suggested? TUG (tug.org) recommends something called proTeXt, which is said to be

Dear R users, I am having problems building R packages in Windows xp. I have followed the instructions from Peter E. Rossi in Documentation -> Other, except for the TeX version (fpTeX), since when I go to the recommended webpage, it is said that fpTeX has been discontinued. I have MikTeX in my computer, and I have followed the recommendations in

I noticed a shQuote fix for Windows in the svn logs. Just wanted to point out that this will favorably affect texi2dvi on Windows which previously used UNIX quoting and so generated an incorrect Windows command. (Note that texi2dvi is used when creating vignettes.) Another problem is that the recommended tex distribution for Windows, fptex, does not have texi2dvi in the first place. The

Recently, I upgraded MiKTeX to the latest versions, and since then there are problems when I try to build R and/or R packages. I tried to build R 1.9.0 beta and R 1.8.1 patched I am running Windows XP Pro, SP 1 MikTeX version is This is e-TeX, Version 3.141592-2.1 (MiKTeX 2.4) (preloaded format=latex 2004.3.27) fpTeX version is This is e-TeXk, Version 3.141592-2.1 (Web2c 7.5.2) (format=latex

Several times my packages have fallen foul of the latex check at the uploading-to-CRAN stage, creating extra work for Kurt Hornik. I've never bothered trying to get latex working on my own packages (happy with vanilla help) but am told that "latex is the closest thing to a syntax checker for Rd files" and that I should set it up. Now, there is already a latex on my (Windows XP)

Hi, I am new to Latex and in the process of installing miktex to work with R on windows XP professional. From earlier posts, I see that fptex was the preferred version, but it is no longer available. Now miktex is preferred. However, there are known issues with finding the style files in version 2.4. Fortunately, www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/mikitex.html provides a series of workarounds.

I would like to start building R packages under Windows XP. I have programming experience and a minimal but working knowlege of many Unix (-like) programming tools. The package functions (for now) will be from R source, not C or Fortran. I've installed Rtools, Perl, the MS hhc, and so on. I am setting up a command shell with the correct PATH for building packages. (The master Windows PATH

Hi, I've just tried to run example-3 from Friedrich Leish. I'm using R 1.8.1 and MiKTeX 2.2 on Windows XP.

Hi, I am trying to create a Bioconductor package. Everything installs and checks fine. Now I'm on my last step, which is to create a vignette. I'm trying to test the Sweave process, to make sure I can build a vignette. I am stuck at the texi2dvi stage, which fails when I try to process the example Sweave-test-1.tex file. I am using Windows binary R distributions, and have the same

I am trying to compile the R-dev sources on WinXP using mingw 3.1.0-1 and fpTeX 0.7. In the past I have been able to build the sources fine but now I receive an error in the process that I havent seen reported on the list before. Everything works fine until I get to 'make docs'. I now get the message below while building the R-admin manual (refman.pdf builds fine) and the make process

Hi, I have some questions about ssh server and Linux, hope someone can help me :) 1. Does Ssh server have a limit for the number of users that can connect ? 2. Does Ssh have restrictions about an username length? Or username format? We would like to use something like: foo_<GUID> ex: foo_ 5CEB80CF-150F-4ff0-8743-A6493FA200C1 3. Does Linux have a limit of user

Dear R?ers I?m trying to get a summary table using latex and summary in the rms package to no avail. I?m running R 2.10.1, Mac OS X snow leopard and I have the mactex 2009 distribution installed.

Hello! Those of you, who use Sweave a lot, will probably find my shell script usable.

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've just committed some changes to allow R to be built and to use MikTeX without needing the Rd.sty files to be installed to localtexmf. Unfortunately, the changes are not compatible with other TeX packages, so if you're not using MikTeX you'll need to edit a couple of the config files (or set an environment variable). I'd appreciate hearing of any problems during the alpha
