Below is a revised version of my kernel of functions for isolating R/S and operating system differences. The main change is "date" which I've renamed "date.parsed" to avoid conflicts with the R and S date functions. The R call now uses system() rather than unix() to avoid warning messages in R 0.62.3.

Below is a revised copy of my compatibility functions with additions from Martin. I expect I may need a new version when 0.6 arrives but I thought it would be worth circulating this in case it suggests anything which might be resolved before the release of 0.6 rather than after. Thanks to a few people for pointing out the R function machine(). I have a kludge below for determining the same

Hi, I am having serious trouble: # xm create test-xen fails with Using config file "test-xen".

Martin Your revisions to my S--R compatability code suggest that tempfile() is in R after 0.49. I don't find that to be the case. It requires code from Friedrich Leisch which still has to be added as of 0.50 alpha3.

I noticed Doug only circulated the following on S-news, but it may be of interest to R users who don't follow S-news. His findings are certainly consistent with my own, where my problems often force me into the element by element type of situation. Paul Gilbert _______ At the risk of beating this example to death, I went back and compared the execution time for the element-by-element method

It seems I just need intern=T.

I've noticed that the arguments and result list of prcomp in the mva package (with 61.1) are not quite the same as in the Blue Book and in Splus. Is this intentional or can I change it?

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

Kurt The function tempfile is available based on some C code from Friedrich Leisch. The function unlink is fairly simple in unix but I haven't experimented elsewhere. In this regard, I have put together a small kernel set of functions to try to handle cross platform and R vs S issues. This is appended below and I would certainly appreciate feedback. The purpose of this kernel is so that I can

Colleagues During the transition to R3.0.0 (OS X), one of the packages that I used -- SASxport -- did not work until I used the "type=source" option in install.packages. This led to an adventure: 1. I downloaded the package source: SASxport_1.2.4.tar.gz 2. in the SASxport/R folder, I found all the functions that are part of the package. I became interested in whether I could

I have a class "tframe" with more specific classes indicating how time is being represented, such as > class(tframe(data)) [1] "ts" "tframe" but now "[.ts" produces warning messages > tframe(data)[2] Warning: Not returning a time series object [1] 2006.25 Even my simplest tests produce hundreds of lines of warnings, so I've commented out

I've been trying to build a bundle with the R-devel snapshot from yesterday. (Yes I know it is unstable and just tell me if I shouldn't be trying to do this yet.) It is failing with the message tar : /dev/rmt/0 : Permission denied It happens after "removing junk files" and just after the message "building dse_2000.9-1.tar.gz" It looks to be coming from the line in

Hi Jonathan, This looks a bit odd. Any reason for the unknown->none conflating in this way? For most (all) of the ports unknown-elf works the same as none-elf. I'm also not sure if someone decided to have, arm-codesourcery-elf that this would still work with the patch. Thoughts? -eric On Tue, Jun 24, 2014 at 7:35 AM, Amara Emerson <amara.emerson at gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Jon,

My code mostly seems to be working fairly well under R 0.61 but I am still trying to clean up the install procedures. Is the private library mechanism working now (i.e. am I doing something wrong because it doesn't work for me) or should I just install under $RHOME/library?

What is the Rd file alias and usage syntax for an S4 assignment method?

I'd like to importFrom(parallel, mccollect, mcparallel) but on Windows these are not exported because this if(tools:::.OStype() == "unix") { export(mccollect, mcparallel, mc.reset.stream, mcaffinity) } appears at src/library/parallel/NAMESPACE:6 of svn r61857. So should I be doing if (tools:::.OStype() == "unix") { importFrom(parallel, mccollect, mcparallel) }

Full_Name: Steffen Version: 2-5-0 OS: Windows Submission from: (NULL) (192.124.243.162) Hi, the R CMD build script is using if($WINDOWS) { ## workaround for paths in Cygwin tar $filepath =~ s+^([A-Za-z]):+/cygdrive/\1+; } which does not work if the build environment is a MINGW. I have added the patch below, Yours, Steffen $ diff -u build build.orig --- build

I have a problem with my dynamically loaded code in R not finding pow_ii, which for some time I thought was because library f2c is not on my Sparcstation. However, I have now been experiencing the same problem in Linux, with all the proper libraries in place. My incomplete understanding of elf and shared libraries does not help, but when compiling a complete program I usually muddle through.
