I am running R on Ubuntu Heron. I recently updated to R 2.8.0 from the default (2.6) in the Ubuntu heron repository by adding deb http://cran.stat.sfu.ca/bin/linux/ubuntu hardy/ I updated all packages installed in /usr/lib/R/site-library and those in my home directory /home/duncan/R/i486-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.6 without obvious issues.

I'm using winetricks to try and install msxml3 and the machine takes forever and never seems to finish. The CPU runs at max and according to the process list, msiexec is running, but I've left it as long as 90 minutes and it never seems to finish. Is this normal? The machine is a pretty fast box P4, 1.8 Ghz, 512 MB ram. I installed richedit20 and richedit30 with no problem.

What is the proper way to register this key. In

I am trying to run an old version of Family Tree Maker for Windows. I got it working on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon, but when I switched to Hard Heron it stopped working. Specifically when I use the file open dialog to select the database to open I am able to navigate through the Unix directory tree down to the file, but when I request the application to open the selected file I get an error message

Hi, I'm trying to get the Australian eTax 2008 program running under wine 1.1.1 According to AppDB I need to install msxml4 using winetricks: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=12814&iTestingId=28039&sAllBugs Alas, once I've clicked "Next >" on the MS XML installer wizard, the dialog disappears and msiexec just sits there burning CPU.

I've installed an application from the command line with: wine 'F:\Setup.exe' 2>&1 | tee wine.log In the log, somewhere towards the end of the install, appears the same output as you get with the command line: msiexec --help which suggests to me that my application's installer or Wine has messed up an invocation of msiexec and as a consequence the installation may be

Hi. Newbie here. Read that Wine 1.2 will run .msiexec files and the way to install it is as user in terminal window: cd Desktop, then type msiexec /i filename. Is that right or should I do something else? Thanks. Bob

Hi, I'd like to use ggplot2, which I think works best on some R release >=v2.11 or so. However, with Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 LTS, 'aptitude' packages show me only a version for 2.6.

I'm totally stumped. I'm running Hardy Heron and wine from git (I just updated about 3 hours ago) and I'm having the systray issue where wine apps in the systray just show up as blank space and you cannot interact with the systray icon. This issue was supposedly fixed in 0.9.60 and backported into the Hardy repos, but no matter what I do I can't get it fixed. I've tried the

Hi, I am new to Linux and have a linux machine running ubuntu (hardy heron). I installed R 2.9.1 using the deb file provided on the R website. However I can't install 'affy' - one of the R packages and apparently this is because of the lib settings.
