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 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 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'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

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

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?

For some of my packages I am getting a segmentation fault in Linux when I use R CMD check. (Using R 1.0.1) The segmentation fault does not happen in Solaris and in some cases it does not happen in Linux if I set R_NSIZE and R_VSIZE much higher than I need in Solaris. Should I expect a segmentation fault if there is not enough memory for R CMD check, or are these unrelated? Paul Gilbert

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

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'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

I am occasional getting "Segmentation Fault - core dumped" in R 0.62.3 (I think more often then I did in 0.62.2). I have not been able to do this in any reliably reproducible way yet, but thought I would mention the problem in case some else can isolate it.

One of the functions I would like to clean out of my syskern package is a program to send mail. This is a common feature other programs (e.g. bug.report) may use so I would like it to be included in R/base. I will volunteer to do this as it looks like a fairly straightforward dissection of bug.report but I have some questions: Has anyone done this already? Is "mail" a good name or

I was hoping fatal: relocation error: symbol not found: pow_ii: referenced in .../dsefor.so would disappear in R 0.6x, but it has not. I believe this is suppose to come from the f2c lib, but I seem to need just a couple of routines: nm -u dsefor.so Undefined symbols from dsefor.so: .umul pow_dd pow_ii pow_ri For my own purposes I could compile with fortran but that makes it much
