I just installed R-1.7.0 on Darwin 6.6 (a.k.a. MacOS 10.2.6). 'make' and 'make check' run without any problems. 'make info' builds with no complaints, but 'make dvi' and 'make pdf' fail. I get refman.dvi and refman.pdf OK (with some warnings from pdftex that some names are referenced that do not exist), but R-FAQ.{dvi,pdf} fails as shown below. Attempts

I am sure this is doable but I can''t find a specific example and my brain is frazzled. Basically, I am doing a whole load of in-place editing and need methods to support the updates. Here is what I am doing now: def set_blog_website faq = Faq.find(params[:id]) faq.blog_website = params[:value] faq.save! @faq = faq do_ret end Surely there is a generic way I can

...ing!), it does always find the stuff you want to find > (nearly, but not always). > Yes, patches to the FAQ are very welcome. We should honestly organize the FAQ a bit differently if you want to start really working to flesh it out with more useful information. I think there should be three FAQs at least: 1) A FAQ for the LLVM Project, which is applicable to LLVM, Clang, and often other subprojects. This would include the license section in the current LLVM faq, and maybe some other points. 2) A FAQ for the LLVM codebase -- specific to the code, libraries, and infrastructure in the prima...

...project of extending the FAQ. So, I can affirm that I want to really start working :) This at the same time as I plan to regularly release an unofficial Windows distro of Clang with headers and libraries so people don't need to install MinGW to use Clang. I was myself thinking of a number of FAQs: 1. A General FAQ with high level questions like "What is the license?", "What is LLVM?", and "What is Clang?" Something that lifts the newcomer up to a fairly knowledgable state in a short time. 2. An LLVM User FAQ that only deals with LLVM usage questions. 3. An LL...

...ng my first application. I''m trying to make a FAQ for this application, organized by product (questions about each product) and category (questions of different categories or topics), and there is something I can''t figure it out how to do. I have these tables: create_table "faqs" do |t| t.column "question", :text t.column "answer", :text t.column "product_id", :integer t.column "category_id", :integer t.column "position", :integer end create_table "products" do |t| t.column "name", :stri...

The FAQ Section 7 is a very useful place for new users to find out any number of R idiosycracies. However there is no numbering on the FAQ Table of Content or on the Sections Tables of Contents. An R-help list reply of "Read FAQ 7.10" in response to a question about converting a factor to numeric is a bit cryptic. The only time 7.10 appears is after the searcher has found the entry.

...another level - Area. So I could make the system work for a wider audience (IT area has it''s own categories and FAQ''s, Sales area has it''s own categories and FAQ''s, etc.) I''m not sure how the best way to set this up - areas has_many categories has_many faqs, or areas has_many faqs and categories has_many faqs. Given the page will probably have a menu at the top to select the area, then will display the categories and faqs (with searching, etc.) ie. For area X, I''d need to select the faqs in that area, or the faqs within a category of an area...

Hi. : ) I was updating my unofficial Korean Ogg Vorbis FAQ, when I noticed the following: While #ext is no longer listed in the FAQ contents, http://www.vorbis.com/faq.psp#ext still exists. IMHO http://www.vorbis.com/faq.psp#stream looks a little awkward. I suggest something like: Icecast streams Ogg vorbis to playsers like XMMS, Winamp 2, and foobar2000, which are all capable of...

Okay with the manual versus FAQ strategy. I just have to mention that languages like C++ has many FAQs all over the net, altogether totalling perhaps thousands of questions and I see C++ as simple compared to LLVM. But I have plenty to do now. If nothing else, I could try reading the manuals ;-) 2012/6/14 Chandler Carruth <chandlerc at google.com> > On Wed, Jun 13, 2012 at 4:37 PM, Mika...

...s 3-space indent. don't ask me why, I have no clue. 4. I'm not sure exactly how to markup the questions. The sphinx FAQ ( http://sphinx.pocoo.org/faq.html) marks it up as a definition list (ctrl-f "definition list" http://sphinx.pocoo.org/rest.html). On the other hand, the Python FAQs (e.g. http://docs.python.org/py3k/faq/general.html) do it differently, with each question as a sub-section. I don't really know the "right answer", but try to choose a style that has a precedent (and communicate the precedent to reviewers). 5. kind of in line with the last point, cho...

We have received an email in Ubuntu alerting us that something strange was going on during the r-base 2.7.1 rc build (see [1]). It seems that there is an error during the convertion of R-FAQ.texi to pdf. The following excerpt, taken from [2], shows the problem: /bin/sh: line 0: test: too many arguments TEXINPUTS=".:$TEXINPUTS" /usr/bin/texi2dvi --texinfo="@set UseExternalXrefs

An extremely modest proposal: It would be nice if packages could have a FAQ and if faq(package.name) would produce this faq. And if, by default faq() FAQ() would produce the admirable R faq... Apologies in advance if there is already a mechanism like this, but help.search() didn't reveal anything. url: www.econ.uiuc.edu/~roger Roger Koenker email rkoenker at

Hello, Which port Smb4K uses? I am not able to use Smb4K on my server for the local network. Thanks Varun

Dear list, Here's a reproducible example that fails, library(faq) Error in library(faq) : there is no package called 'faq' faq("lattice sweave") Error: could not find function "faq" As a fun challenge, I propose to remedy this by creating a fortune-like package dedicated to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) entries. The aim is multifold, 1- Provide a generic

"Why did read.table stop reading my file" is a pretty FAQ, e.g. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.r.general/297406/focus=297409 (I could come up with a lot more examples if someone wanted). The answer is typically "check for spurious comment characters and unmatched quotation marks" Does this seem FAQ-worthy? Should I e-mail the FAQ maintainer and suggest it?

Hello Mike, Tom, (I am not sure who is working on this part) There are some funny characters in FAQ.htm in a number of places. I have provided a precursory analysis of this issue. It is not a big=20 deal, but something that I imagine will be worked out at some point. I have provided a couple examples. Is there a way I can see the xslt stylesheets? Could they live in cvs at some point? Maybe I
