similar to: R-alpha: naming convention for index files

Would it be possible to include a new command in the ${RHOME}/etc path, which updates the Library index (Rd and html) via "R LIBINDEX". I need it because I use RPM to manage three different R installations (at home, at the institute and in the seminar rooms). I put all libraries into several packages, so it is easy for me to update a single library at all these different places. But

Hi there, I've successfully installed und updated some contributed R packages (R version 1.2.2 on Debian Linux, logged in as a normal user), but I'm wondering about this: [...] Could not open /usr/lib/R/doc/html/packages.html at /usr/lib/R/share/perl/R/Rdlists.pm line 238. /usr/lib/R/bin/INSTALL: /usr/lib/R/doc/html/search/index.txt: Permission denied /usr/lib/R/bin/INSTALL: LibIndex:

I know, we've discussed this several times in the good old days days of the R-testers list :-), but the problem is still unsolved. I want to include Tibshirani's data in my port of the bootstrap package, but we still have no way of including data in a clean way. IMHO we should have a subdirectory of $RHOME/data for each library, e.g. $RHOME/data/base $RHOME/data/bootstrap Actually

This problem has been mentioned by Arne Kovac <maak@stats.bris.ac.uk> on May 9-10. The patch is really a replacement of 'axis' in RHOME/src/library/base/funs/ It contains the fixes which where proposed Arne Kovac and fixes (all?) the errors he/she (?) reported on May 9. "axis" <- function (which, at, labels = TRUE, ...) { if (which%%2 == 1) { axp <-

Just grabbed the R-0.63.tar.gz from CRAN. Again during the build make fails. bin/build-help did not have exec permissions. After that, it failed for missing *.pl files called from build-help. I just copied them from an R-devel I had. Then make docs worked. However, LibIndex was not built. I am on an hpux-pa1.1-hpux-10.20 using egcs: gcc version egcs-2.92.18 19981101 (gcc2 ss-980609 experimental)

At the Vienna meeting we discussed the problems encountered on some operating systems when storing many small files in a directory. In particular the directories $RHOME/library/base/help/, $RHOME/library/base/R-ex/, and $RHOME/library/base/data/ can take up an enormous amount of storage on the Macintosh or on Windows systems because the minimum amount of storage per distinct file is quite large.

> * In general, we have two ways of arranging the `library' tree. One is, > grouped according to module, the other, according to type. I.e., > library/<module>/ > library/<module>/funs/ > library/<module>/help/ I find this a much better way to organize things. Old versions of packages can be removed cleanly with rm -r library/<package> It also

The x11() window can be a nuisance to have popping up at startup (esp. on small screens) when you're not working with graphics. However, currently you can't get rid of it without modifying the systemwide Rprofile. Current logic is: Run $RHOME/library/Rprofile if ./.Rprofile exists run it else if $HOME/.Rprofile exists run that endif I think it should be Run $RHOME/library/Rsetup if

You are using the wrong make. Please read the instructions very carefully. You _must_ use the cygwin make with the supplied Makefiles. As INSTALL says: You will also need suitable versions of at least make, sh, rm, sed, (g)awk, mkdir, echo, cp, cut, diff, grep, egrep, pwd, expr and cat; we use those from the cygwin distribution (http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin and several

Hello, I have installed Venables & Ripley's VR_5.3pl025-1 in RHOME/library/VR and added the path to my RLIBS environmental variable. In R (0.62.2) typing "library()" lists these packages, but typing e.g. "library(nnet)" gets "Warning: Package 'nnet' contains no R code". It appears to me the code is there and I have checked the permissions and so

Here is a version of the function scale() which may be worth adding to the distribution. No NA's yet, though. And yes, I could also write documentation if necessary ... -k *********************************************************************** scale <- function(x, center = TRUE, scale = TRUE) { x <- as.matrix(x) nc <- ncol(x) if (is.logical(center)) { if (center) x

Ross mentioned last week that it would be nice to eventually have a real `make install'. As a preparation, we should perhaps rename the current install-help install-latex install-html targets to help latex [or dvi???] html and perhaps test-Examples to test I can of course make the changes, but I thought I'd ask for a good new name for the corresponding scripts in RHOME/etc.

I've modified the "$RHOME/bin/R" and "$RHOME/cmd/filename" so that you can use the same directories for multiple machines. That is, machines running various flavors of UNIX can access the same directories. The modified structure adds the directories $RHOME/bin/$OSTYPE/ $RHOME/lib/$OSTYPE/ to hold the machine specific binaries. For instance, here the $RHOME directory
