similar to: Installing packages from folder on the computer

Is it just me, or did a corrupt PACKAGES.gz file get installed in the bin/windows/contrib/3.2 directory of CRAN mirrors recently? gzfile() complains about it and Cygwin's gzip cannot decompress it. I tried the following repos <- "https://cran.rstudio.com" v <- "3.2" pkgs.gz <- paste(sep="/", repos, "bin/windows/contrib", v,

i wish to know how to set a folder in computer as a mirror from which i can install packages i am aware of the menu approach- "Packages>install from local zip files" but i wish to know the command line approach because i dont have internet access on the computer where i will be using R. i have put the zip files of packages in C:\R\packages\bin\windows\contrib\2.11 i have put the

Hi, I have already asked a similar question twice without response on the r-help list https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2009-June/200300.html but this list might be more appropriate. If there is a particular reason for the lacking answers (unclear, missing information, the solution is obvious to everyone except me, etc), I would like to know. The description below is generalized, but I

Hi, I have already asked a similar question without response (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2009-June/200300.html) so I am here reformulating in the hope that someone is able to help. If something is unclear, please ask. I am working on the development of two packages, pkg1 and pkg2 (based on work in two different projects). pkg1 is quite generic, pkg2 tries to solve a particular

Hi, I am currently involved in the development of two R-packages, pkg1 and pkg2. They should not be dependent on each other, as most users will only be interested in one of them. Still, I want pkg2 to provide one extra S3 method for three functions (fun1-3) in pkg1 for objects of a class defined in pkg2 (class2), for those users who actually have both packages installed. I think this

Dear R devels, let's say I have three packages "pkg1", "pkg2" and "pkg3" which all contain new S4 classes and methods. Where "pkg3" depends on "pkg2" and "pkg2" depends on "pkg1". Moreover, all three packages have namespaces. 1) I use ".onLoad <- function(lib, pkg) require(methods)". Do I also have to

Hi, I want to cross-reference from the documentation of pkg1 to pkg2, which is imported in the NAMESPACE of pkg1, and under Depends in DESCRIPTION of pkg1. According to "Writing R extensions", this can be done by: \code{\link{foo}} when foo is an aliased function in the documentation of pkg2. This works as it should when I install the package, but when I run R CMD check pgk1, I get

Hi everyone, Some of you probably received the following thread from the Rcpp-devel mailing list: http://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/pipermail/rcpp-devel/2018-August/010072.html Summing up, the issue described is the following: pkg1 provides type1 in pkg1.so building on some headers. pkg2 links to pkg1 (BTW, LinkingTo is actually misleading, because it doesn't really link to it), i.e.,

Hi, I have built two R packages. One of them (PKG1) needs to use the functions of the other package (PKG2). So I need to link these two packages together, so that the functions of PKG2 can be available to PKG1. And when I load one package using 'library("PKG1")', PKG2 can be loaded at the same. Any ideas welcome. -- View this message in context:

I am trying to re-organizing my Makefile for testing my R packages and I am having trouble finding a structure I like. The problem seems to be that "R CMD check", which does wonderful things, does not allow dependency information to flow through very gracefully. That is, since everything is copied into the pkg.Rcheck directory, it is difficult to make any changes to source files without

I try to update R packages via my local repository. I put all R packages in g:/myFolder/myRepository, I do like > library(tools) > write_PACKAGES("g:/myFolder/myRepository") > options(repos=c(LocalR="file://g:/myFolder/myRepository")) > getOption("repos") LocalR "file://g:/myFolder/myRepository" >

I am being asked to modernize the Depends line in the DESCRIPTION file of some packages. Writing R Extensions says: The general rules are Packages whose namespace only is needed to load the package using library(pkgname) must be listed in the ?Imports? field and not in the ?Depends? field. Packages listed in imports or importFrom directives in the NAMESPACE file should

Hello, I am hoping for some advice regarding how I can install the XML package which I require to run package tm. Normally I would use the install package option, however, I have to install the packages to a laptop running XP. The laptop does not have an internet connection. Firstly I tried the file - XML_1.99-0.tar.gz . Below is the error I received Error in gzfile(file, "r") :

Hi I have been trawling the web, FAQs, and R manuals for help on the following issue, but have failed and was wondering if anyone has a solution to the following problem: After having installed R 2.6.2 for Windows (binary), I tried to install various packages. Every time I try loading a package (any package) via the built-in menu, I run into the following error message. >

Hi, I'm running into more issues when reading data from a gzfile connection. If I read the data sequentially with successive calls to readBin(), the data I get looks ok. But if I call seek() between the successive calls to readBin(), I get corrupted data. Here is a (hopefully) reproducible example. See my sessionInfo() at the end (I'm not on Windows, where, according to the man page,

Hello, unfortunately I had to compile latest version of R-2.0.1 by myself. I'd rather would prefer vendors binaries but since the current version of Ubuntu defaults to 1.9.x I had to compile R on my own in order to be up to date! So far, everything went fine and R runs smoothly. Unfortunately I am not able to use R CMD INSTALL command to install add-on packages. I followed RNews 3/3 and

I realize that others have struggled with this issue...i.e. http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/05/01/9826.html i am on os.x 10.4 w/ R2.2, and am (perhaps foolishly) also on this quest... i would like to be able to install downloaded source (tar.gz'd) files from within an R session, and have it work in a X-platform way..i am often not connected to the internet and have libraries

When I read a .gz file with readLines() in 3.4.3, it returns text (and a warning). In 3.5.0, it gives a warning, but no text. Is this expected behavior or a bug? 3.4.3: > source_file = "1k_annotation.gz" > readfile_con <- gzfile(source_file, "r") > readLines(readfile_con, n = 5) [1] "#chr\tpos\tref\talt\t <truncated output here> Warning message: In

I don't understand why I can not close 'f'. This may be very simple, but I don't see why. Could somebody let me know? $ cat gzfile.csv "","V1","V2","V3","V4","V5" "1",1,5,9,13,17 "2",2,6,10,14,18 "3",3,7,11,15,19 "4",4,8,12,16,20 $ Rscript gzfile.R > f =
