similar to: qplot in ggplot2 not working any longer - (what did I do?)

I know this is a double post, but the subject line was really misleading. Sorry again. This is the first time that I have tried to update packages with a tinkered around with .Rprofile. I start R with R --vanilla and it does not load my .Rprofile, but when I issue the command update.packages() R downloads the packages as expected, but then seems to load .Rprofile before compiling the packages

#This is probably due to my incomplete understanding of grep, but the below code has been working for some time to #search for .R with anything in front of it and return a list of scripts to source. Likely, the syntax for the #grep statement has been wrong all along. scripts2source <- (c("/home/ssefick/R_scripts/Convert_package.R",

All, 1. I will try and make this clear and concise. Please let me know any information that would be helpful in figuring out this problem (I don't know the relevant information to post). I am on linux- see below for session information. 2. Problem: working directory: home an old version of a function is sourced into the R session and doesn't work working directory: Desktop the

Dear ladies and gentlemen, I have recently installed the latest version of R (4.3.3) for windows. Now I have the following problems with mutated vowels like ?, ?, etc. Here is an example: If I type the command: Dir <- "C/Users/macho/Documents/_LVn/Experimentelle ?bungen" in the R console there is no problem. However, if I put the same command into a source file (e.g. Test.r) and call

Hi, I' using Ubuntu 10.10/11.04 and on both of the systems help doesn't work unless I set options(help_type="html"). I hate to change context and help_type='html' distracts me. I want text based help inside console. Where should I look to fix this problem? -- Amol

This error can arise when getOption("width") is too small. 80 seems to be the limit for me with R-3.3.2 on Windows.

I'm not 100% sure this hasn't been covered already (I searched a bit, but I had a little trouble filtering down to a useful number of useful results). Anyway, when I install R on Windows, the installer asks to set the default help type. For some reason, I can set it as HTML in the installer, but the results open as if help_type = "text" by default. I presume this is related to

Hello, I am on a laptop with Win7, running R-2.12.1 if I click on Packages/InstallPackages I get : > utils:::menuInstallPkgs() Warning: unable to access index for repository http://cran.skazkaforyou.com/bin/windows/contrib/2.12 Warning: unable to access index for repository http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/windows/contrib/2.12 Error in install.packages(NULL, .libPaths()[1L], dependencies

Hi, I have options(help_type="html") in my .Rprofile and when I type ?foo, the man page appears as a new tab in my web browser (which is already running). Fine. However, when I type ??foo, rather than the results appearing in a new tab, a new instance of the web browser is spawned with the default homepage displayed. Same with help.search("foo"). Am I the only one seeing this?

After a clean install of R 4.0.0 (R-base only) on Mint 19.3, the directory /usr/lib/R/library/base/html is empty. However, the directory /usr/lib/R/library/boot/html contains files 00Index.html and R.css. Correspondingly, the command help(package="base", help_type="html") produces the text "No package index found for package base". The same occurs when clicking

I'm trying to diagnose a bizarre problem in which the help files invoked from R are partially defective. help(), for instance, is missing the Description, Arguments and See Also sections; as are help files for other commands (see below). I've built 2.8.1, 2.10.1 and HEAD with the same results; do I need to set an environment or configuration variable? help

I noticed about a couple weeks ago that my R start up script starting showing the below errors, following the line "Type 'q()' to quit R" Not sure what I did different and so far it hasn't caused major problems but kind of fear that it will. Can you please help? I also posted my Rprofile below. Attempting to load the environment 'package:R.utils' R.methodsS3 v1.2.2

Hi, I'm trying to call an R script from the command-line ("firstScript.r" below). This script then sources another script in another directory using the absolute path to the file ("/home/john/R_script/secondScript.r"). That script then needs to source an R script in the same directory using a relative path ("thirdScript.r"). Neither script should know that it

Hi folks, R on ESS Why it is unable to pop up help manual on "R on ESS"? ?layout Error in help("layout", htmlhelp = FALSE) : unused argument(s) (htmlhelp = FALS ?plot Error in help("plot", htmlhelp = FALSE) : unused argument(s) (htmlhelp = FALSE) etc. But they work on R console and popup the manual without problem.

Which front ends process the help.search() results to produce nice clickable lists, instead of the simple text display that's the default? I know the R.app gui on Mac OS does; are there others? I'm asking because one of the decisions made when R Core met in Vienna was to allow vignettes to be returned as results of help.search(). All of those front ends will need to be able to

I just upgraded from 2.8.1 to 2.10 on Windows Vista. BIG MISTAKE apparently because now when I type: > help(functionname) or ?functionname I get only a small text window giving some very basic info on the topic, e.g.: base-package package:base R Documentation The R Base Package Description: Base R functions Details: This package contains the
