Hi folks,
Using R Version 1.6.2 (2003-01-10)
on SuSE Linux 7.2,
I just installed Hmisc_1.5-3.tar.gz and Design_1.1-5.tar.gz
These were taken from
http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/s/library/r
Checked the dependencies:
Hmisc: grid, lattice, mva, acepack -- all already installed
Design: Hmisc, survival -- survival already installed, so
installed Hmisc first
All seems to go well till the "help" docs are compiled,
whereupon I get several reports of "missing links", as below
(where I omit cases with no such reports). I can't recall
seeing "missing links" when installing other libraries.
Two questions:
1. Have I overlooked something here, which I should have done?
2. Do these "missing links" matter?
Or is this simply a manifestation of Frank Harrell's comment, on the
above site, that "I still have not had time to fix details in the
documentation that will allow R CMD check to be passed, which would
allow me to submit the libraries to CRAN."
If that is the explanation, then I withdraw all the rest of this, with
sincere thanks to Frank for generating these packages and making them
available (and with experience-based sympathy for the task of getting
such details right!).
With thanks, and best wishes to all,
Ted.

Sometimes, it means that you need to install some other package before this one (e.g. with the set of recommended packages that ship with R we need to build survival before boot), but in Frank's case, I think a fair proportion of them are due to S-PLUS references that he hasn't quite ferreted out yet. Certainly, trellis and nlminb are S-PLUS items that are not in R (it might actually be an idea to have help pages that said "foo is an S-PLUS function that is not in R, you probably want to use bar instead"; anyone want to contribute?) -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
