In our computer lab, there are 6 Centos 5.4 workstations. There is an HP printer with jet direct card. It often works. But sometimes users come and get me saying the printer is broken, but it is actually working fine for *most* of the workstations. On the troubled system, I run system-config-printer and I check the printer in question (under properties) and I see the printer has been disabled.

Yesterday I uploaded new rockchalk_1.8.97. Then I received email saying that I needed to confirm the submission. Here's the message. Dear Paul E. Johnson Someone has submitted the package rockchalk to CRAN. You are receiving this email to confirm the submission as the maintainer of this package. To confirm the submission to CRAN, follow or copy & paste the following link into your

On a cluster that is based on RedHat 6.2, we are updating to R-3.3.1. I have, from time to time, run into problems with various R packages and some older versions of GCC. I wish we had newer Linux in the cluster, but with 1000s of nodes running 1000s of jobs, well, they don't want a restart. Administrator suggested I try to build with the GCC that is provided with the nodes, which is

A user question today has me stumped. Can you advise me, please? User wants a matrix that has some numbers, some variables, possibly even some function names. So that has to be a character matrix. Consider: > BM <- matrix("0.1", 5, 5) Use data.entry(BM) or similar to set some to more abstract values. > BM[3,1] <- "a" > BM[4,2] <- "b" >

I'm writing to ask if R Core would make file.exists more Windows tolerant when the argument has a trailing slash. This has been discussed by users a few times here, I know it is not a new topic. But it is not a solved problem, yet. I acknowledge that CRAN packages exist which fix this by replacing file.exists(), but it seems more elegant to me to fix the problem in R itself. R Core goes to

Greetings I want to take a fitted regression and replace all uses of a variable in a formula. For example, I'd like to take m1 <- lm(y ~ x1, data=dat) and replace x1 with something else, say x1c, so the formula would become m1 <- lm(y ~ x1c, data=dat) I have working code to finish that part of the problem, but it fails when the formula is more complicated. If the formula has log(x1)

Hello, I am looking for CRAN packages that don't teach bad habits. Can I have suggestions? I don't mean the recommended packages that come with R, I mean the contributed ones. I've been sampling a lot of examples and am surprised that many ignore seemingly agreed-upon principles of R coding. In r-devel, almost everyone seems to support the "functional programming" theme

I'm writing to ask for a policy exception, or advice on how to make this package CRAN allowable. http://rweb.quant.ku.edu/kran/src/contrib/portableParallelSeeds_0.9.tar.gz Yesterday I tried to submit a package on CRAN and Dr Ripley pointed out that I had not understood the instructions about packages. Here's the part where the R check gives a Note * checking R code for possible

Last week one of our clients reported trouble with a csv file I generated with write.table. He said that columns with quotes for character variables were rejected by their data importer, which was revised to match the way Microsoft Excel uses quotation marks in character variables. I explained to them that quoted character variables are virtuous and wise, of course, but they say Microsoft Excel

Dear R devel I've been wondering about this for a while. I am sorry to ask for your time, but can one of you help me understand this? This concerns duplicated labels, not levels, in the factor function. I think it is hard to understand that factor() fails, but levels() after does not > x <- 1:6 > xlevels <- 1:6 > xlabels <- c(1, NA, NA, 4, 4, 4) > y <- factor(x,

I mistakenly left a write in "/tmp" in the rockchalk package (version 1.8.109) that I uploaded last Friday. Kurt H wrote and asked me to fix today. While uploading a new one, I became aware of a problem I had not seen. The version I uploaded last Friday, 1.8.109, has OK status on all platforms except r-release-windows-ix86+x86_64. I get OK on oldrel-windows and also on devel-windows.

In Centos 5.5, I've had this same experience over and over. I have no trouble installing CGI programs the old fashioned way (untar into /var/www/html and configure), but don't like un-rpm managed files floating about. So I can install, for example, phpMyAdmin, from EPEL. That phpMyAdmin RPM drops files into a bunch of locations, the php files are under /usr/share/phpMysql and then

Hello, again. I'm interested to learn how programmers develop & test C/C++ code with R packages in Linux. I've been reading R source and the manual on Writing R Extensions but there are just a couple of details I can't understand. I wish I could watch over a developer's shoulder to see how people actually do this. I've tested a bit. I am able to take package.tar.gz

I'm looking for an R mentor. I want to propose a change in management of plot options xlim and ylim. Did you ever want to change one coordinate in xlim or ylim? It happens to me all the time. x <- rnorm(100, m=5, s=1) y <- rnorm(100, m=6, s=1) plot(x,y) ## Oh, I want the "y axis" to show above x=0. plot(x,y, xlim=c(0, )) ##Output: Error in c(0, ) : argument 2 is empty
