For the (slightly) adventurous among you: We plan to roll out R 0.62.3 next Friday. In order to root out remaining bugs before the release, I'd like to encourage you to try it out on your system. Since there is a risk of destabilising things whenever you mess with the configure scripts, we won't attack installation problems on unusual platforms after this week. We also won't take on any complicated bugs, unless they have very bad effects. (This is a good time to pick nits...) Note that the "horses mouth" for snapshot releases of R is ftp.stat.math.ethz.ch:/pub/Software/R/ The daily snapshots are also mirrored to the CRAN sites, but not always on a daily basis. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.

I've compiled and installed pre R 0.62.3 (Aug. 19) under Solaris 2.6 using
gcc
version 2.8.1 and g77 0.5.23. Everything went smoothly and my DSE library tests
work ok. There is a very occasional problem with a "Segmentation Fault -
core
dumped", which also occured in 0.62.2, but I have not been able to
reproduce it
reliably. I also had to increase R -v from 250000 cells (which worked with
0.62.2) to 300000 cells for one of my tests.
There is however, a small problem with installing the HTML documention in a
private (i.e. not RHOME/library) location. The file
RHOME/doc/html/packages.html
linking the main documention to the packages is written (BTW this will probably
fail if the package owner and the R owner are not the same) but the links in it
are not quite correct. For me the link indicated in that file is
<A HREF="../../library/dse/html/00Index.html">
which would be RHOME/library/dse/html/00Index.html, but it should be
<A HREF="{package_location}/dse/html/00Index.html">

Installing a package with documentation seems to clobber the file RHOME/doc/html/function.html which has the links to all the HTML function documentation, so access to the R base documentation is almost impossible.

When should I be posting there instead?Sorry, I was very tired when I wrote that... R-bugs@biostat.ku.dk is the mail interface to our new bug-tracking system. So what I did was to file the letters as official bug reports. There was no error on your behalf, we still need to figure out what the practical way of using this system really is. The purpose of forwarding the notes was just to get them filed so that we won't (easily) forget about them. I did it using 'resend' so they appear to come from you, and I though I'd better tell you. Also, I was testing some parts of the interface at the same time, namely what happens with the e-mail notification of the core team when you do a forward like that. (It turns out that it recognises the 'Re:' string and skips the notification, which would seem to be a bit of a bug in the bug tracking system...) (Note the cc: to r-devel in *this* note, by the way) -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
