Hi All, I'm still having significantly difficulty getting the quantreg library running in R. I'm running R on MEPIS using the debs created by Dirk Eddelbuettel and placed in apt testing. When I try to install quantreg using the install.packages() function it fails with: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lblas-3 Dirk was nice enough to send me a .deb for quantreg which installs without

Dear People, I just went back to an old piece of C code. On trying to compile it with the R math standalone C library I got the following error. Can anyone enlighten me what I am doing wrong, if anything? C file (rr-sa.c) follows. I'm on Debian sarge. I'm running R version 1.8.1. Gcc is version 3.3.1. Thanks in advance. Faheem.

I have been RTFM/doc/www, but I'm still lost. How does one tell R CMD INSTALL and R CMD check (both) that libraries are installed in non-usual places and so -I/APPS/include (or whatever) is necessary in CPPFLAGS and -L/APPS/lib (similarly) is necessary in LDFLAGS? I know I can hardwire them in pkg/src/Makevars, but this requires hand editing of that file by each installer (yuck!) rgentlem

Just in case anyone cares or is hitting the same problem: to install current mgcv (1.0-5) on 1.9.0 on Knoppix/Debian unstable I had to: # cd /usr/lib # ln -s /usr/lib/atlas/libblas.so.3 libblas-3.so # ln -s /usr/lib/atlas/liblapack.so.3 liblapack-3.so Otherwise compilation couldn't find -lblas-3 or -llapack-3 (I could have gotten away with the links in /usr/lib/atlas instead of /usr/lib,

Hi, all. I would like to use "pipe" to run a file through an awk program before scanning (to reduce the amount of data I'll be taking in). I would like to construct the awk program in R, and also to be able to set the awk variable FS, to accommodate different field separators in different files. My problem is that I keep getting the quotes escaped in the string that comes out, and

Dear all I have a character vector of dates something like: timevec<-c("15.5.2003 00:00", "15.5.2003 00:01", "15.5.2003 00:02", "15.5.2003 00:03","15.5.2003 00:04") and I would like to transform it to some more convenient date class. Is there a way how to do it directly without previous reformating to ISO like structure and adding a

Hi, What is the reason for getting two different max of a vector from two functions max() and summary()? Here is an example, > set.seed(2222) > x <- sample(x=1:100000, size=10000, replace=T) > max(x) [1] 99992 > summary(x) Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max. 6 24510 49950 50020 75040 99990 Which value is the correct one? I had this problem while I

Hi folks: I am trying to install the package "rimage" in R 1.8.0 on an Alpha Linux box. "R CMD INSTALL rimage_0.5-1.tar.gz" fails with the following: ... ... checking for stdint.h... yes checking for unistd.h... yes checking fftw.h usability... yes checking fftw.h presence... yes checking for fftw.h... yes checking jpeglib.h usability... yes checking jpeglib.h presence...

Looking at http://cran.r-project.org/src/base-prerelease shows that the latest alpha tarball is dated April 1. That page reveals its source via the various ?D=A etc sorting links, and looking at Peter's page at www.biostat.ku.dk, I do indeed see April 2 and 3 releases in Denmark. Has anything dropped in Vienna? Dirk -- Better to have an approximate answer to the right question than a

How can one specify multiple extra flags to R CMD SHLIB? The example in R-exts section 5.5 MAKEFLAGS="CFLAGS=-O3" R CMD SHLIB *.c works for a single flag, but when I try MAKEFLAGS="CFLAGS=-g -O2 -Wall" R CMD SHLIB *.c only the first flag is used and the rest seem to be ignored (version 2.3.1, Mac OS X) -thomas Thomas Lumley Assoc.

if R had something like > python -c "print(sum([1,2,3]));print(3*2)" 6 6 but I guess the only way to do this is by writing the string to a tmp file and then doing something like "R CMD BATCH --quiet" on the tmp file I would like to use this for an R service, which allows you to select any string in any application and replace it by its R evaluation === Jan de Leeuw;

I've rolled up R-1.6.1.tgz a short while ago. This is a minor upgrade, fixing an assortment of minor bugs, and one major one: 1.6.0 introduced a memory leak in deparsing, causing much trouble for people running simulations. You can get it from the developer site at http://cvs.r-project.org/pub/CRAN/src/base/R-1.6.1.tgz or wait for it to be mirrored at a CRAN site near you. Binaries for

I'm trying to use ESS & xemacs under debian linux testing and KDE. My problem is that I didn't find any document in the internet explaining a **step by step** session with R and xemacs. The (wrong) procedure I follow (to no avail!) is: 1) I start R in a terminal window; 2) I start xemacs and open a file with the extension .R (test.R); 3) I issue M-x R RET and I can see an Rd new

Today I built R from source on a 32-bit Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS box, and saw that the "make check" tests/reg-tests-1b.R failed. From the output at the end of my "tests/reg-tests-1b.Rout.fail" file, the problem is appearing in the "identical(z, x %*% t(y))" test code below. I then tried the stock R provided by the Ubuntu r-base-core binary package, and to my surprise, it
