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

What is the Rd file alias and usage syntax for an S4 assignment method? I have been trying variations on \alias{TSdoc<-,default-method} \usage{ \S4method{TSdoc}{default}(x) <- value but so far I have not got it right according to various codoc, etc, checks.

I just tried to load r-devel (using rsync -r rsync.r-project.org::r-devel) and I get "operation not permitted" when I try ./configure. It appears the permissions and sticky bits are messed up again.

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.

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? If I change it who should I send the code to? Paul Gilbert -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read

A slightly revised version of my DSE package for multi-variate time series analysis is now available at <www.bank-banque-canada.ca/pgilbert>. This version works with R 0.90.1 (and not with R 90.0 or earlier versions). It can also be installed with install.packages(c("syskern", "tframe", "dse"),

There was at one time some discussion about supporting documentation of multiple functions in one Rd file. Is that supported or still in the plans?

[This mail could be an answer to the other responses as well, as they basically are the same.] Ah, I think I understand now what poison is for. Adds are defined to not have side-effects, so the dependence rule is needed so the optimizer is allowed to exploit undefined behavior. Is this correct? I forgot to mention in my original mail that our trapping arithmetic operations are fully

The "data index" is mentioned in the R Extensions Writer guide as >> The subdirectory should contain a `00Index' file >> that describes the datasets available. I'm not sure what the official format is suppose to be, but given that it displays like an index, this has to be a very short description which I find somewhat inadequate. Some of my data sets are multivariate

Hi, In our backend, we currently emit add operations that trap on overflow if the IR operation has the nsw flag set. Is this allowed? According to the documentation about poison values, overflowing a nsw add is undefined behavior. However I didn't find a formal definition of undefined behavior in LLVM. Judging from previous discussions on the mailing list, there seems to be a vague

I can confirm this bug has been solved, by the expedient of removing the incorrect functions! I think the simplest way to get a bug closed is to send the correction to the original reporter for confirmation, then as Peter suggests send a follow-up to R-bugs.

CanUse? If the 'Suggests' field "lists packages that are not necessarily needed" (Writing R Extensions), then why is the user required to have the package installed to pass R CMD check? Likewise, if a CanMakeUseOf field is added, then why would one choose to use Suggests at all? That is, is there an advantage to requiring that the user have a package available (to pass R CMD

I'm just trying to install 62.1 under Solaris. Making the program reports no errors, but when I try to run R I get ld.so.1: /home/res8/gilp/R-versions/R-0.62.1/bin/R.binary: fatal: libF77.so.2: can't open file: errno=2 Is there any standard place where I should be looking to find libF77? When make moves on to building the documents I get the errors below. (Is this because configure did

I had a couple of problems getting R 0.90.0. In case anyone has similar problems, I though I would mention them. 1/ I can't use "ftp cvs.r-project.org" from either home or work. The ftp service does not seem to be available. Perhaps this is intended. I only discovered it because I thought the file I got through Netscape might be corrupted. (I don't understand why Netscape
