R help - May 1998 - R-beta: multiv package from CRAN

Hallo Friedrich,

I have read your announcement, downloaded and installed it in R-0.61.3.
But now I have problems :)
> hc <- hierclust(dist(t(pollen)), method=3)
Error in pmatch(x, table) : argument is not of mode
character
> hc <- hclust(dist(t(pollen)))
> members(hc)
Error in .Fortran("assgn", n = as.integer(n), nplus1
as.integer(nplus1),  : C/Fortran function not in load table

Since I have a snapshot from May 22 I put it there. But in these tree I
couldn't install it.

marliesle# R INSTALL multiv
Installing package `multiv' ...
No man pages found in package `multiv'
DONE (multiv)

DONE (INSTALL)

More questions:

Is it possible to get the mahalanobis distance as a distance matrix like
the dist function.

Gabriel's biplot functions are not working in the mass library. Around
the year 1983 I had a lot of Calcomp plot's according to the publication
in 1971. But now my programming skill's gets a little bit rusty. Are
there any efforts to get the mass library working or would someone else
enhance the multiv library with biplots.

I cannot reproduce this problem ... the man pages are built without
problems on my system (Debian Linux, R 0.62 snapshot). On which type
of computer is you R snapshot installed?

You mean a matrix containing only the lower triangle etc.?

Should be fairly easy tho integrate mahalanobis into dist ... but we
currently have a feature freeze until 0.62 is released. I'll put it
onto my todo list for 0.63.

Best,
