Prof. Brian Ripley solved the problem. He wrote: > I was not aware that this works with relative paths for any version > of R. Try using a full path, which always works for me. I tried it using a full path, and bingo! It worked like a charm. Under Unix the relative path also works, but. Prof. Ripley also remarked: > If indeed your filesystem is readonly, you will have problems

I'm not sure if this is the right target to which to direct this post, but I couldn't think of anything more appropriate. I just downloaded the Hmisc package to the Imac that I use. When I attempted to load it I got an error to the effect that it could not load the library: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.5/Resources/lib/ libgfortran.2.dylib Note the ``2.5'' in

I'm mystified by a Windoze ``phenomenon'' which has just bitten me. I have a laptop which boots either Windoze or Linux; I (sad to say) need the Windoze OS for teaching purposes. I have R 1.9.1 installed on the laptop in the Windoze OS. Just now I decided to install, under the Windoze version of R, a library (``Misc'') of some local functions that I have collected over the

I am using/trying to use R 2.2.0. I have created a package of ``supplementary'' time series functions for use by my students in a time series course. The package involves only raw R code; no dynamic loading to complicate matters. I need to install this package in a location on a local area network where the students can access it under Windoze. In the past I learned that I could do

I am (for my sins) having to do some work using R under Windoze. I wanted to set up a .Rprofile to control my set-up. The docs on .Rprofile say that it can/should be placed in ``the user's home directory''. ``An Introduction to R'' observes lucidly that this concept needs to be clarified under Windoze. Following the suggestions in An Introduction to R, I tried putting a

Hi there, I'm in the following directory: ~/Documents/Rstuff/diceFiles/dice_1.1 The directory "dice" is in this directory, with all the usual build files (DESCRIPTION, NAMESPACE, etc). I'm trying to run the following command: R CMD check dice (where "dice" is the name of the package I'm checking), and I get the following: * checking package dependencies ...

Hi all, I'm seeing an error on Windows when I try to install a package to a package library path that starts with a digit. I can reproduce the error as follows using R-devel from Feb 24 on Windows advanced server: badLib = "c:\\badExample\\2\\foo" dir.create(badLib, recursive=TRUE) z = .libPaths() z = .libPaths(c(badLib, z)) z [1] "c:\\badExample\\2\\foo"

Hi, when I try installing new packages (in this case DBI) I run into the following problem: Paket 'DBI' erfolgreich ausgepackt und MD5 Summen abgeglichen Warnung: kann tempor?re Installation 'C:\Programme\R\R-2.7.0\library\file5f906952\DBI' nicht nach '? xlD?? $@\R\R-2.7.0\libra' verschieben Has anybody any idea where these strange symbols come from? Thanks in

I was flummoxed for a long time by errors generated when I did something like install.packages(foo,lib="Rlib") where ``Rlib'' is my personalized directory of R packages, which lives in my home directory (from which I started R before issuing the foregoing install.packages() call. Recently someone (I forget who, but thanks very much to whomever it was) pointed out that I

Dear R-users, we are using library(snow) for computation on a linux cluster with RMPI. We have a problem with clusterEvalQ: after launching clusterEvalQ it seems loading the required library on each node but if we type a function belonging to the loaded package R doesn't find it. > library(snow) # making cluster with 3 nodes > cl <- makeCluster(3, type = "MPI") Loading

Hi everybody, I have trouble in installing packages from source code by following Section 5.1 in manual R-admin.pdf . I am using R 2.1.0 and Win NT. Following the Windows toolset section in the manual, I download the tool set package from: http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/tools.zip and unzip under C:\tools I also downloaded Perl (Windows Port) and installed it.

I would like to have a function that inputs a file name, then reads that data file and does various stuff to it. Something like: doit<-function(filename) { x<-scan("~/rstuff/data/"filename) #for example, if filename is a0.dat, it will scan("~/rstuff/data/a0.dat") ... } Can someone please tell me how to do this? Thanks for any help! Bill Simpson

Hi, I'm new to R. Apologies if this is a simple query, I've searched the mailing lists and docs but can't find a solution to my problem. I'm trying to make some packages available on our intranet. During development the 'intranet' is a webserver running on localhost. * When I call "install.packages" I get a mesage about not being able to access 'index

Hi everyone I've been playing with do.call() but I'm having problems understanding it. I have a list of "n" elements, each one of which is "d" dimensional [actually an n-by-n-by ... by-n array]. Neither n nor d is known in advance. I want to bind the elements together in a higher-dimensional array. Toy example follows with d=n=3. f <-

Many thanks to all who responded to my cri de coeur: Charles Annis, John Bollinger, Petr Pikal, Brian Ripley, Duncan Murdoch, Dan Nordlund, and Richard Heiberger. (I don't think --- I hope --- I haven't missed anyone.) The essential solution to my problem was indeed to eliminate that @#@$#@$^#@ ``.txt'' extension from the filename. I.e. the file must be called

Dear list, Is there a generalised form of rbind/cbind for combining matrices/arrays into higher-D structures? ie. if I have: a <- matrix(2,2,2) b <- matrix(3,2,2) how can I get array(rep(c(3,2), each=4), c(2,2,2)) ? It seems like this would be the job of a generalised abind function: abind(a,b, along=1) == rbind(a,b) abind(a,b, along=2) == cbind(a,b) abind(a,b, along=3)

### I got bit again by the same bugs I wrote about a year ago. ### The bugs are related to matrices and arrays of lists. ### 1. There is a clear inconsistency in how R handles two ### functionally equivalent statements. ### array() is able to take a list and create a matrix. ### matrix() is unable to create that matrix. > vector("list", 2) [[1]] NULL [[2]] NULL >

hi, can anyone confirm the following problem? when i do dos> rcmd rd2dvi --pdf my-package-name i get dos> Can't open perl script "c:\PROGRA~1\r\rw1091/bin/rd2dvi": No such file or directory might the problem be in (double back slashes rather than forward slashes) R-1.9.1\src\gnuwin32\front-ends\rcmdfn.c(251): strcat(cmd, RHome); strcat(cmd, "/bin/Rd2dvi.sh");

I'm attempting to generalise a function that reads individual list components, in this case they are matrices, and converts them into 3 dimensional array. I can input each matrix individually, but want to do it for about 1,000 of them ... This works array2 <- abind(list1[[1]],list1[[2]],list1[[3]],along=3) This doesn't array2 <- abind(list1[[1:3]],along=3) This doesn't either

I've just installed version 1.4.0 of R, and am experiencing a puzzling phenomenon with the library() function. I have .lib.loc set as follows: > .lib.loc [1] "/usr/local/lib/R/library" "/home/faculty/rolf/Rlib" If I invoke > library(melvin) I get the error message Error in library(melvin) : There is no package called `melvin' but if I invoke >
