R help - Jul 2009 - wordStem problems in R 2.9, Fedora 11; Linux Kernel 2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586

Dear All,

I just updated from Fedora 9 to Fedora 11, kernel version
2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586. I'm running R 2.9.

I successfully installed package Rstem from source (it always ran fine
for me in F9). However:
> wordStem(c("This","is","a","test"))
Error in wordStem(c("This", "is", "a",
"test")) :
  VECTOR_ELT() can only be applied to a 'list', not a
'character'

Any idea what causes this / how I can fix this?

Hi Rene

   Can you tell us the version of the Rstem package you installed.
Rstem_0.3-1 from
          http://www.omegahat.org/Rstem/

or

     install.packages("Rstem", repos =
"http://www.omegahat.org/R")

work fine for me.

I seem to recall this being a problem with an older version of Rstem.

   D.
