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 compiled and ran R 0.62.1 without any serious problem on SunOS 5.5.1 and it also ran on SunOS 5.6. To compile on SunOS 5.6 I had to get a new version of gcc and g77 . Having done that I can now compile with no errors on SunOS 5.6, but when I try to run R there are serious problems: R : Copyright 1998, The R Development Core Team Version 0.62.1 (June 15, 1998) R is free software and comes with

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

"[<-" in R 0.63 does not appear to strip attributes, whereas Splus and previous versions of R did.

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.

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"),

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.

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

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?

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

I like to have a continuously running R process, which can receive a dataframe from a client (over TCP/IP), does some processing, and sends some data back. What is the prefered way to do this? Using the socket interface? Using omega's CORBA stuff? Does anyone has example code for doing so? Thanks for any help Regards -- Dr. Jens Oehlschl?gel-Akiyoshi Analyse MD FACTORY GmbH Gr?nstr. 15

It would be nice to be able to initialize the random-number generator with a single long argument; I can see that in principle this could be done by writing an access method, do_RNGinit (or whatever) for RNG_Init. I had trouble with the technical details, possibly because of long/int incompatibilities. Any chance of this happening? -- Ben Bolker

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

Is there an easy way to compile a packages's fortran so that it has the information for ddd or gdb to follow the lines of the code? I seem to remember seeing something about this, but I cannot find it in Writing R Extensions. (I see about Valgrind, debugging a segfault, and some other tricks, but what I really want is to follow the fortran logic.) Thanks for any pointers, Paul

Is CRAN having trouble or is it just me? (The web interface is very slow and install.packages() is timing out and giving me "service not available").

Hello, Using the dse package I have estimated a VAR model using estVARXls(). I can perform forecasts using forecast() with no problems, but when I try to use simulate() with the same model, I get the following error: Error in diag(Cov, p) : 'nrow' or 'ncol' cannot be specified when 'x' is a matrix Can anyone shed some light on the meaning of this error? How can I

I'm getting a lot of warning having to do with setting graphic parameters. I don't recall actually setting any of these, so I would guess they are being set by something I am calling.
