Did something related to startup change in R 1.9.0? -akop

I just installed R-1.7.0 on Darwin 6.6 (a.k.a. MacOS 10.2.6). 'make' and 'make check' run without any problems. 'make info' builds with no complaints, but 'make dvi' and 'make pdf' fail. I get refman.dvi and refman.pdf OK (with some warnings from pdftex that some names are referenced that do not exist), but R-FAQ.{dvi,pdf} fails as shown below. Attempts

I have been trying to install CentOS 4.1 on a new server today. The installation went fine but the system doesn't boot. It doesn't even get to the Grub screen. The system has a 3ware 9500 series controller and 12 250GB SATA disks which are configured for RAID5 with one hot spare. I searched on the web and noticed that this is a Grub (and Lilo) limitation. Is there any way around it other

For some reason, our HP8150DN printers hang with this error and require power-cycling after a user tries to print any job from Windows2000 or NT (including a test page). The Samba server is running 2.2.5 on a Solaris 2.6 box using Sun's printing system. It forwards all jobs to another Solaris machine that runs LPRng-3.8.2 and ifhp-3.5.1. I am able to install and use all of our printers

Here is a list of files that I have not (knowingly) modified that do not pass rpm verification immediately after I installed centos 5.3. I am not really sure what this means - are the packagers sending out sloppy rpms, or is something going around modifying stuff? Other than the texmf stuff, the list seems to consist entirely of config files. Does yum or rpm or something do some instant

Hello! I use Sweave for a report and up to now I always copied Sweave.sty to a folder where I have the report. But this can be done better (or did I miss anything) with * extension of TEXMF variable in texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf or * linking /usr/lib/R/share/texmf to somewhere in /usr/share/texmf I tried with the following and I didn't need to put Sweave.sty in folder with a report: cd

I am trying to compile the R-dev sources on WinXP using mingw 3.1.0-1 and fpTeX 0.7. In the past I have been able to build the sources fine but now I receive an error in the process that I havent seen reported on the list before. Everything works fine until I get to 'make docs'. I now get the message below while building the R-admin manual (refman.pdf builds fine) and the make process

Hello. We have an Apple LaserWriter8500 printer that has a duplex printing unit. The printer is configured to print on both sides of a sheet by default (e.g. if I print a document with unix lpr command, they print on both sides). However, I couldn't manage to make my Win2k desktop to print dual-sided output on that printer although I am sending the jobs to the same LPRng queue (routed through

I would like to print some tables and figures to a PDF device on a CentOS 5 vps. However, I cannot seem to get the latex function from Hmisc working. I followed the example, and got an error: sh: xdvi: command not found. I tried installing the 'tetex-xdvi' linux package, and now it returns: Error: Can't open display. I guess the reason for this is that the machine is a VPS terminal, so

I'm using R 2.2.0 on an up-to-date version of Fedora Core 4 with the latest version of Hmisc.

Dear All, Having now successfully started using Sweave, I have just noticed an odd side effect with fonts. Using plain LaTeX, I have had no problems using \usepackage{palatino} or \usepackage{times} and the font correctly changes. However, once I convert the tex document into Snw, and run it through R CMD SWEAVE, LaTeX seems to ignore this package directive. The LaTeX log suggests the font
