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.

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?

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.

"[<-" in R 0.63 does not appear to strip attributes, whereas Splus and previous versions of R did. Paul _____ R 0.63: > data <- matrix(rnorm(300),100,3) > attr(data, "tframe") <- c(1981.50, 2006.25 , 4.00) > attributes(data) $dim [1] 100 3 $tframe [1] 1981.50 2006.25 4.00 > z <- data[10:90,] > attributes(z) $dim [1] 81 3 $tframe [1]

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

I am trying to get our database interface (PADI) working with R. The code does some memory allocation and for Splus there is an ifdef which controls whether malloc or S_alloc is called. I did nm R.binary | grep alloc to see if this was supported and I find there are some choices: [2490] | 446036| 272|FUNC |GLOB |0 |7 |R_alloc [806] | 693956| 312|FUNC |LOCL |0 |7

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 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

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?

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

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").

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 it possible in R to call a fortran routine that sets variables in a common block and expect the values to persist when a call is made from R to a second routine that uses the common block? If not (as I suspect), is it possible to use a common block in a group of routines that are used together, for as long the routines do not return to R? Paul

This was posted on another list I follow and I thought it might be important if you are not already aware of the change: >Between Redhat 4.2 and Redhat 5.0, Redhat changed from libc version 5 to >glibc version 2.0 as the standard C library. This arranges its include >files differently and has resulted in MOST programs needing changes to >compile under Redhat 5.0. Paul Gilbert
