I tried to search for a string of words ``as one entity'' following the
example in the help file:
> RSiteSearch("{logistic regression}")
and got the error message:
2008-09-11 08:55:41.356 open[823] No such file: /Users/rturner/http:/
search.r-project.org/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query={logistic+regression}
&max=20&result=normal&sort=score&idxname=Rhelp02a&idxname=functions&idxn
ame=docs
My session info is:
> sessionInfo()
R version 2.7.2 (2008-08-25)
i386-apple-darwin8.11.1
locale:
C
attached base packages:
[1] datasets utils stats graphics grDevices methods base
other attached packages:
[1] misc_0.0-6 fortunes_1.3-5 MASS_7.2-44
loaded via a namespace (and not attached):

Is this a Mac-only issue, or does it happen elsewise? What if
anything can I do
about it?
cheers,
Rolf Turner

Seems that one of the slashed is dropped after the protocol prefix, i.e. http:/search.r-project.org/... should be http://search.r-project.org/... Someone else has to take it from here. /Henrik On Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 2:03 PM, Rolf Turner <r.turner at auckland.ac.nz> wrote:> > I tried to search for a string of words ``as one entity'' following the > example in the help file: > >> RSiteSearch("{logistic regression}") > > and got the error message: > > 2008-09-11 08:55:41.356 open[823] No such file: > /Users/rturner/http:/search.r-project.org/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query={logistic+regression}&max=20&result=normal&sort=score&idxname=Rhelp02a&idxname=functions&idxname=docs > > My session info is: > >> sessionInfo() > R version 2.7.2 (2008-08-25) > i386-apple-darwin8.11.1 > > locale: > C > > attached base packages: > [1] datasets utils stats graphics grDevices methods base > > other attached packages: > [1] misc_0.0-6 fortunes_1.3-5 MASS_7.2-44 > > loaded via a namespace (and not attached): > [1] tools_2.7.2 > > Is this a Mac-only issue, or does it happen elsewise?

On my system: R version 2.7.2 Patched (2008-08-25 r46438) running on F9:> RSiteSearch("{logistic regression}")A search query has been submitted to http://search.r-project.org The results page should open in your browser shortly and then it takes me to the search engine page. Does this only happen with the above incantation using the braces, or does it happen without them as well? Even if I directly use browseURL(), which is the relevant function in RSiteSearch(), I cannot get it to behave in the way you have above, even if I only use a single slash in the http:/ part of the URL. Somehow it is paste()ing your $HOME folder as a prefix. You might want to try it with R --vanilla, just to see if something is amiss in your R session. You might also want to post to the sig-mac list in case this is Mac specific. HTH, Marc Schwartz
