...Solaris 2.3 since it worked fine for 2.5 and up. I am not sure how to get past this (I'm not a programmer) but would really like to get this going if possiable. If you want any output, files or want me to try something just shoot an email over (I am not subscribed to the list). Thanks, Jack jbarnett at ixc.net

I'm having some trouble following the instructions in the FAQ for debugging. I can run 'R -d gdb' at the command line and it works; also, I have run gdb from emacs before. But I can't figure out how to put the two together: I've tried following the instructions in the FAQ, but I seem to be missing something. Can someone with experience tell me exactly how I should invoke gdb

Hello all- I'm having some problems with memory consumption under R. I've tried increasing the appropriate memory values, but it keeps asking for more; I've even upped the heap size to 600M, significantly eating into swap (256M real, 500+M swap). So, performance slows to a crawl. What I'm trying to do is run isoMDS on a 4000x4000 matrix. My first question is, how much memory

Hi, I''m having some trouble downloading a .csv file from a particular website. The file isn''t part of a url, you need to click on a link in order to get the file sent. I don''t know how to get mechanize to correctly identify that. Here is the link to the file I''m trying to retrieve: <td style="vertical-align: bottom; text-align: center;">

All, I''ve been playing a bit with some patches to make the fixture loading and management code a little bit easier to maintain. If I were to start chopping out features, how would you feel about losing: Fixture instantiation, Old school single-file fixtures, CSV fixtures, The ability to specify a subset of fixtures (everything''s always loaded instead), The ability to

Like lots of other folks, I''ve been searching for a way to scratch my fixture itches. Rathole is my extraction of a few techniques we''ve successfully applied at my day job. We''ve been using Rathole for a month or so now, but I''d really like some feedback from a wider audience. Rathole tackles: * Conflicting PK''s (no more id''s in fixture

Foxen, I''ve updated the plugin for 1.2.x to match the final Rails 2.0 features, including support for STI, polymorphic belongs_to, and "rake db:fixtures:identify". Enjoy.

Hello- Does anyone have a recommendation on how to call R from perl? I'm using the IPC::Open2 module, and running R with the --slave and --quiet options. The problem is that I can't predict how many lines of output I should try to read for each command-- if any! The ultimate goal is to use perl to provide a form-driven web interface, but have R do the underlying calculations. Thanks

Hi- I'm trying to read data into R that was exported from Excel, as tab-delimited text. There are some empty cells in the spreadsheet, which I'd like to treat as missing values. I'd like to specify to read.table to use a *single* tab character as the record separator, but I can't seem to do this. First of all, how can I get a tab character in R? Second, is it possible to force

Hi- I'm very interested in using R, though I am still new to it. However, all of the data I'm working with is currently stored in Oracle. So, either I get data from Oracle, save it to a text file, and then import it to R, or I write an R <-> Oracle bridge. I've taken the second approach, but I'm sure that I haven't done it entirely correctly. For starters, is there

All, I''ve run into a few cases recently where I have environments that are nearly (or totally) identical, except for the database. For example, I have a "live" environment locally where I pull production data for load testing or triage, and I generally want it to behave like "development". Similar situations occur for continuous-integration or staging boxen that
