Is anybody suffering from a similar problem or can anybody suggest a cure or a pointer......? I've various hardware platforms (both HP & Intel though all SMP) scattered around remote sites each running one of the following OSs (Redhat 7.2, Redhat 7.3, Mandrake 8.2 & Mandrake 9.0) each with Samba installed (either the version that ships with the relative OS or 2.2.5.2 or 2.2.8.2

This is a repost of a simple question about Windows Vista and R (with answer), along with a heads-up on other Windows Vista issues that people may not be aware of and that may impact R development. 1. The standard package install process fails because the user does not have permission to write to Program Files/R/R-version/library. Apparently the install process has already been modified to give

this was previously posted only on samba-ntdom, but that was probably not the right list so i'm cross-posting to both samba and samba-ntdom. here's the problem: on NT4 w/ SP4 or SP5, self-extracting 16-bit install files work just fine in directories w/ Long File Names. on SAMBA 2.0.5a, i can get none of the aforementioned files to install from directories w/ Long File Names. a good

Hi OK, final stretch now, thank you to everyone who has helped! (hopefully) final question - what does R CMD build actually do that tar/gzip and WinZip do not? I have successfully used R CMD build to create a .tar.gz version of my package, which installs well and works under Linux - hurray! I naively thought that all I had to do now was create a .zip version (using something like WinZip) and

(Searching on Ripley there is somehow not terribly useful.) Suggestions?

Hello I am trying to read a large number of WinZip files from inside R (v 1.7.1, options()$unzip = internal). I have unsuccessfully tried to unpack the files and write to an external directory so that I could read the text files using zip.unpack. Reading some of the archives suggests that this is for .ZIP format files only. I have also unsuccessfully tried to use gzfile to open a connection and

Hi all, I'm using R0.99a on WinNT4. I downloaded a bunch of packages and tried using Rinst.exe to install them. For whatever reason, Rinst.exe does not find all the packages I downloaded. I put all files in the same temp directory, but Rinst only finds some of them. I have no problem installing the rest with WinZip, but if Rinst works it would be much easier (don't have to run WinZip

Dear R People: I have finally created a little R package. Do I need to do anything special to create a zip file for that package, or just use Winzip, please? thanks so much R Windows Version 1.9.0 Thanks, Laura mailto: lauraholt_983 at hotmail.com

Hi list,I apologize if you see funny fonts, b/c I'm using the new Windows Live Hotmail and don't know how to turn off the "rich text" mode.....I have successfully built and installed a R package in windowsXP for R-2.5.1.

I am currently using Windows self extractor from the command line and it works great to convert zip files to windows exe's. The issue I'm having is if I try and cron this through a shell scipt it complains with the following + wine '/usr/share/wine-c/Program Files/WinZip Self-Extractor/WinZIPse.EXE' /y /le /overwrite

Hey Folks, I''ve written a script to generate a list of all files on a machine, then zip the results. ?I''m going to stick a web front end on it, and use it to audit some file servers.
