similar to: installing package from source with Linux

I have somehow managed to made a source tar ball which "R CMD check" accepts but "R CMD INSTALL" rejects with: ------------------ Warning in untar2(tarfile, files, list, exdir) : checksum error for entry 'pax_global_header' Error in untar2(tarfile, files, list, exdir) : unsupported entry type ?g? ------------------ This happens with both R 2.12.2 (x86 linux) and R

This is a not too old R-devel on Linux, it already fails in R 3.4.4, and on macOS as well. The tar file seems valid, external tar can untar it, so maybe an untar() bug. setwd(tempdir()) dir.create("pkg") cat("foobar\n", file = file.path("pkg", "NAMESPACE")) cat("this: that\n", file = file.path("pkg", "DESCRIPTION"))

Dear List, I have a list of 600+ *.gz files that I would like to extract and read the geotiffs contained within them. I tried using the untar() function to simplify this task but I am stumped by an error. I've combed the Internet for a solution without luck. The details are below, and any help in solving this matter is appreciated. > files = list.files(path = "J:/GIMMS/NDVI",

Dears, I am trying to implement some R package which is still under construction and has not yet been submitted to CRAN (RSSA, http://anton.korobeynikov.info/software). Documentation is yet very poor (or i just did not find it), so I am wondering whether there is any way to retrieve a list of commands available in this package from within R? And to find out whether the package is successfully

Dear R list, I get a strange error in R: *** caught segfault *** address 0x6951c20, cause 'memory not mapped' Traceback: 1: .C("spline_eval", z$method, nu = as.integer(n), x = as.double(xout), y = double(n), z$n, z$x, z$y, z$b, z$c, z$d, PACKAGE = "stats") 2: spline(gam.data$x[, col.data], gam.smooths.all$fit[, m], xout = gam.results.global[m, ,

Hi R gurus, I'm getting the following error when trying to build and install an R package: Error in untar2(tarfile, files, list, exdir) : unsupported entry type ?x? I build the package like so: R --no-init-file CMD build mypackage Then try to install it: sudo R --no-init-file CMD INSTALL mypackage.tar.gz ...which dies with the above error. I can extract the archive fine with tar -zxf, so

Dear Mailinglist, I just set up an R 2.9.1 environment with Rcmdr 1.4-6 on Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04. As I'm from Germany my $LANG variable is set to "de_DE.UTF-8". Now, when I open up Rcmdr and try to edit a new datamatrix there is no edit window appearing: Datenmatrix <- edit(as.data.frame(NULL)) ERROR: invalid device In addition, there are plenty of warning messages in the

Dear list, I am trying to compile R on a 64-bit Ubuntu 13.04 machine and get the following error: make[2]: Entering directory `/home/kaiyin/opt/R-2.15.0/src/library/Recommended' begin installing recommended package MASS Error in untar2(tarfile, files, list, exdir) : incomplete block on file make[2]: *** [MASS.ts] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory

Hello, is there any function in the package snow to check for a really running cluster? The function checkCluster only checks the variable cl. And the variable is still available after stopping the cluster! ( a simple solution would be deleting the cluster variable cl in the function stopCluster) > library(snow) > cl <- makeCluster(5) 5 slaves are spawned successfully. 0

Hi, I would like to add confidence intervales to an ANCOVA with 2 covariates when using xyplot.

Dear list, in R under wheezy the following error occurs: > library(cairoDevice) > Cairo() Error in Cairo() : Graphics API version mismatch It seems to be Debian-specific, as I tried the same under OpenSUSE 11.3 and it worked. I tried installing cairoDevice via `apt-get install r-cran-cairodevice' and with `install.packages("cairoDevice")' in R (without any

Dear Developers, I'm updating my R installation via svn (currently: Revision 44626).

Dear userRs, "playing around" with combinations of replicate() and random number generating functions inside a self-defined "wrapper" function I encounterd a puzzling behaviour. The following are intentionally simple (and rather nonsense-) examples to isolate the relevant aspects. Please, note the seemingly "inconsistent" behaviour for the second call of

Dear UseRs, here is an example scenario presenting my problem: Multiplying a dsyMatrix with a numeric vector results in an error (unfortunately in German due to my locale): > (M1 <- Matrix( c( 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1), nrow = 3)) 3 x 3 Matrix of class "dsyMatrix" [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 1 2 2 [2,] 2 1 2 [3,] 2 2 1 > M1 %*% 1:3 Fehler in x %*%

I have an application that uses I18n, but in the first deployment, I don''t want to enable different languages per user/request because there are very few users who all speak german). Therefore I have config.i18n.default_locale = :de in config/ application.rb. I have no code whatsoever to set/change I18n.locale in my app. In development environment, it works as expected: the

Hi there is it possible that pdfs generated using the pdf() function with default settings leads to loss of information? I was plotting copy number changes from Agilent 180k data in form of rectangles (rect()) while each rectangle represents one region of copy number change. When plotting into a pdf I noticed that some very small rectangles do not appear (even after extensive zooming) in the pdf

Dear list, I have a balance connected to the serial port of a windows machine ("COM1") and I read the text output of the balance with scan("COM1", what="character", sep="\n", n=1) after calling the previous line I press the print key on the balance which triggers sending one line of text to the serial connection and with R 2.9.2 I get something like Read
