Dear R People: I'm trying to experiment with the "make distribution" with R-2.12.0 when compiling from source on Windows. It works fine on Windows XP, but I'm having a snag with Windows 7. Here is the snag: cp -prf "../../../Tcl" R-2.12.0 cp: preserving permissions for `R-2.12.0/Tcl/bin': Invalid argument cp: preserving permissions for `R-2.12.0/Tcl/doc':

Dear R People: Hope you're having a nice Saturday. I'm trying to compile R-2.13.1 from source on Windows 7 (64 bit). I've been able to compile on a 32 bit without any problems. I changed my BINPREF64, WIN, DEFS_W64 in MkRules.local and did the usual stuff with the jpeg, etc. But things are jogging along and I get the following: Makefile.win:28: ../../../../etc/x64/Makeconf: No

Dear R People: I'm trying to compile R-2.15.0 on a 64 bit Windows machine.

Dear R People: I'm starting to think that I should just install from the binary, but here is my latest effort to install from source on a Windows 7 64 bit: c:\R64\R-patched>cd src cd src c:\R64\R-patched\src>cd gnuwin32/ cd gnuwin32/ c:\R64\R-patched\src\gnuwin32>set TMPDIR=c:\temp set TMPDIR=c:\temp c:\R64\R-patched\src\gnuwin32>make all recommended make all recommended

Hello I would like to build R from source and use the PGI compiler, rather than the GCC compiler. I saw the instructions for the Intel compiler in the R Installation Manual, but I didn't see the PGI. I tried a few times without instructions, but without success. Any suggestions would be most welcome. Also, I hope this is the right group for the question. Sincerely, Erin -- Erin

Dear R People: I have generated the following table: > table(zza$DEATH,zza$GENDER) F M 2009-04-21 0 1 2009-04-22 4 2 2009-04-24 6 0 2009-04-25 1 3 2009-04-26 2 0 2009-04-28 3 0 2009-04-29 2 2 However, instead of total counts in the F and M columns, I would like percents. How would I do this, please? thanks, Erin -- Erin

Dear R People: When I want to produce a small sample confidence interval using t.test, I get the following: > t.test(buzz$var1, conf.level=.98)$conf.int [1] 2.239337 4.260663 attr(,"conf.level") [1] 0.98 How do I keep the attr statement from printing, please?

r-package-devel is probably a better place to post this, especially if you do not get a satisfactory reply here. This list is about R programming, as you presumably know; your query is not.

Hello R People: Is there a way to determine if a function exists in a particular package, please? I looked at exists and objects, but they seem to refer to an environment rather than a package. I was thinking of something like: ifelse(exists(functiona) in MASS, print(1:10), print(5)) Thanks, Erin -- Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences
