Hi guys, I'm working on a package, and I want to create a new version file pdf. On R 2.6.2 it ran ok with the code: R CMD Rd2dvi.sh --pdf pkg. But it doesn't run on R 2.8.0. What I'm doing wrong? These are my components: ActivePerl-5.8.8.822-MSWin32-x86-280952 basic-miktex-2.7.2960 htmlhelp MinGW-3.2.0-rc-3 Rtools28 Thanks in advance, Sergi M.Garrido

Currently, we have developed an R package for our company's internal use (at least for now). I have successfully built the package and generated zip file which can be easily installed. However, I am not sure how to generate the big HELP file in PDF. Right now, I have about 30+ Rd files for this internal package. I can run 'R CMD Rd2dvi' and WinEdt to create one pdf file

Dear All, When generating pdf documentation for a package (using R CMD Rd2dvi --pdf), is there a way to get the date to use the typical international standard of day month year instead of the US one of month day, year?

I construct a pdf package manual in Windows 7 using R CMD Rd2dvi --pdf --no-preview [packagename] Page numbers are listed correctly under 'R topics documented' at the front, but incorrectly (offset by -2 pages) in the Index at the back. Following the hyperlinked page numbers in the Index takes you to the wrong page. 2 pages happens to be the length of the package overview man page inserted

Hi.... I am assembling an R package (under Windows XP, R v.2.3) and have a very basic question. Running R CMD build does not generate a pdf. R CMD check generates a .dvi, but I cannot figure out how to automatically create the pdf. I thought from reading the "writing r extensions' manual that R CMD build was supposed to generate the pdf. I am having no success using various

I have a pdf scan of several pages of data from a quite famous old paper by C.S. Pierce (1873). I would like (what else?) to convert it into an R dataframe. Somewhat to my surprise the pdf seems to already be in a character recognized form, since I can search for numerical strings and they are nicely found. Of course, as is usual with such tables there are also headings and column

hi, can anyone confirm the following problem? when i do dos> rcmd rd2dvi --pdf my-package-name i get dos> Can't open perl script "c:\PROGRA~1\r\rw1091/bin/rd2dvi": No such file or directory might the problem be in (double back slashes rather than forward slashes) R-1.9.1\src\gnuwin32\front-ends\rcmdfn.c(251): strcat(cmd, RHome); strcat(cmd, "/bin/Rd2dvi.sh");

If I execute R CMD Rd2dvi foo.Rd I get messages of the form: Converting Rd files to LaTeX ... foo.Rd Creating dvi output from LaTeX ... Saving output to 'foo.dvi' ... cp: .Rd2dvi4366/Rd2.dvi: No such file or directory Done xdvi-xaw: Fatal error: foo.dvi: No such file. Indeed if I add the --no-clean flag and then cd to the .Rd2dvi<whatever> directory, I find that there is no

Is there any way of getting just the LaTex output which R CMD Rd2dvi generates on the way to produces a .dvi file, which could then be incoorporated into another document?

Hello, I'm having some problems, now with building libraries/packages. Actually, with making pdf- or latex-files. So, everyting is ok, I can generate latex-files ('.tex') using 'R CMD Rdconv -t tex', but apparently, it are not valid latex-files (no 'documentclass', no 'body' etc). How come? Do I have to add these things manually? Kurt.

I'd like to make MikTeX the default TeX package in 2.2.0, but we still need to let people use other packages. The problem is that MikTeX wants a command line option --include-directory $R_HOME/share/texmf, while other packages specify includes via environment variables, and barf when they see the unexpected option. The choice should be controlled by the user's settings in the MkRules

Hi, I run R 2.5.1 on Mac OS 10.4.10 and fail to build a package manual. Below is the transcript. The problem is a "pdflatex: command not found" error but I think that I have a fully working latex install (installed with iInstaller) as I use TeXShop with no problem. Could someone help?

Hello useRs, I am trying to put my funcs in a package to avoid clutter in my workspace as the funcs are now in .Rprofile. All plain R code no compilations. Using win XP with a full cygwin install and R2.12 I first did package.skeleton("mypack",list="getdfv", namespace=T) # just a single func which created a folder with the required stuff in it. Calling R CMD build creates a

Hello, I help to maintain a moderate library of R code. In this code we have a number of calls to the system function along the lines of: exe_output = system("./executable.exe",intern=T) We tend to prefer system() over shell() because, provided the executable has been compiled and the working directory set, the command works under both linux and windows. We've never had a

Hello, I have created my own R package and written the documentation in Rd format for each of the functions plus the package itself. However now the functions appear in a random order in the generated PDF and the package documentation entry is placed in between the functions, when I would like it to be first, naturally. Is there an easy way to specify the order of the entries in the generated

When I create a manual for a package that I create and use locally, e.g. via R CMD Rd2dvi --pdf foo where ``foo'' is the name of the directory containing the source for the package (also named ``foo'') the resulting manual does not appear to have an index. The package.pdf files appearing on CRAN all seem to have indices. What must I do to get an index appended to the

Hi, I am trying to install a bunch of packages via command line and can use some help in getting it right. My env is a freshly setup OpenSuse 11.4 on an amd desktop. I have not yet installed gcc (Will I need gcc to install packages? I have installed make, assuming R might need it.). I have tried it both under R2.12 and R2.13. I have a list of packages to install such as fImport, fGarch, zoo,

Hello; I am a R newbie and would like to know correct and efficient method for doing string replacement. I have a large data set, where I want to replace character "M", "b", and "K" (currency in Million, Billion and K) to millions. That is 209.7B with (209.7 * 10e6) and 100.00K with (100.00 *1/100) and etc.. d <- c("120.0M", "11.01m",

The document R-exts contains the following example of using mathematics in R documentation. \deqn{p(x) = {\lambda^x\ \frac{e^{-\lambda}}{x!}} {p(x) = lambda^x exp(-lambda)/x!} There is a syntax error in there, but that's not my point. The problem is that using "R CMD Rd2dvi" I find that putting the alternate forms of the equation on top of each other doesn't work.
