Dear all, I'm trying to fix a subtle bug in the hdf5 package. This package provides an interfaces to the HDF5 library and hence allows one to load data into R from files in the HDF5 format. The bug appeared during a period in which R changed but the package did not. I include below both the R and C code, stripped of everything except what is needed to show the bug. What is supposed to

Just thought I would mention that there is a new O'Reilly book out, "Developing Bioinformatics Computer Skills", which is ok, pretty superficial about some things but at least it lets you know what is happening and where. R gets a few pages in there, 394-396, mostly nice press and accurate except that Bill Venables (hi Bill) may be surprised to find out that he is a member of the

I realize this isn't quite the correct forum (but then I don't think that there is one). Anyways, I've just been given enough money to hire two programmer for at least two years to work on the following project: (for experienced programmers only, please, salary in the 70k range) BRIEF DESCRIPTION FOR JOB POSTING To develop a system for the manipulation and analysis of microarray

Hi Rob, [BTW, sorry about the crosspost

Prof. Gentleman (and R-help), Here's an example of what didn't work. I still don't understand why. Function: trycon <- function(file, n) { f.con <- file(file, open="rt") on.exit(close(f.con)) i <- 0 while( length(readln <- readLines(f.con, 1)) > 0 ) { x <- unlist(strsplit(readln, " ")) if(length(x) <= 6 && x[3] ==

Dear all I'm trying to install the hdf5 library into R. The HDF5 package is installed in a special directory, distributed accross my cluster: /share/apps/HDF5 So i put the args option to the configure command as i read in previous post in the list: jerome]# R CMD INSTALL --configure-vars='LDFLAGS=-L/share/apps/HDF5/lib' --configure-args='--with-hdf5=/share/apps/HDF5'

I am trying to build hdf5 for ms-windows. I downloaded the hdf5_1.4.7.tar.gz, gunzipped it and got a tar file. I extracted everything into a directory tree called hdf5. I also found a Makevars.win and libhdf5.def in the R help archives from March 2002. I put those two in hdf5 as well. I issued the command Rcmd build --binary hdf5 but got this message complaining it can''t find

I am writing an R package to interface to hdf5 files (yes I know one exists, the issue will be demonstrated using that package). I tend to like to build/install things locally so that aspects of the system I am working on don't cause problems later when attempting to install elsewhere. To this end, I build and install the hdf5 libraries w/out incident: tar xzf hdf5-1.8.4.tar.bz2 cd hdf5-1.8.4

*Hi everyone, I am a new subscriber, so I hope I'm posting in the right way. I need to load a hdf5 file, so I installed the hdf5 libraries ad the hdf5 R package; in downloaded a small sample file from the hdf5 website and I could correctly load it. But when I try to load my file: * require(hdf5) rm(list=ls()) ls() hdf5load("my_file.h5", verbosity=3) *I get this error message: *

The basic question is: How can I pass configure script command line flags from the R CMD command? Now I try to install the HDF5 package on Linux (SuSE 7.3). I got hdf5 libraries installed in /usr/local/hdf5 (man/lib/bin). I understood to install packages the following way: as root# R CMD INSTALL hdf5_1.4.7.tar.gz Installing source package `hdf5' ... checking for gcc... gcc checking for

Dear everybody: HDF5, a dataset formatting library, and R that is built with it, have been uploaded to ftp://ftp-fis.iarc.fr/pub/incoming. The R RPM uses the spec file created by Martyn Plummer as a starting point, and makes only a few trivial changes. -rw-rw-r-- 1 ftp 100 3416612 Oct 6 17:45 R-base-with-hdf5-0.65.1-1.i386.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 ftp 100 2300453 Oct 6 17:48

HDF5 is a high quality data storage format from NCSA (http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/index.html) Marcus Daniels of the Swarm Development Group has made available an R library called hdf5 which allows loading and saving of data in hdf5 format. The source for his library is here: ftp://ftp.swarm.org/pub/swarm/src/testing/hdf5_1.4.7.tar.gz I prefer to use RPMs to maintain software across many linux

Hello, I want to install hdf5 libraries for R and I get the same error as posted below whether I try install.packages("hdf5") from R command prompt or the command line installation below. I would appreciate if any one could help me on this.

Hello: I've recently started using R to process data in HDF5 format. My files come in 1.5MB chunks, but they can be as big as 50MB. The problem I am facing with R-1.2.2 is that when I try to load 50 of the 1.5MB HDF5 files (using the hdf5 library) in a loop, my Linux box gets close to its memory limit around the file #15 (256MB RAM and 256MB swap). This happens even if I load file ->

Hello All, I just signed up to this list, so I apologize if this question has been asked before. I am trying to load an hdf5 file into R and running into some problems. Here are the steps I took to configure my environment: * R 2.10.0 (x64) on Mac OS X 10.6 * hdf5 1.8.3 installed via macports * hdf5_1.6.9.tar.gz from CRAN I suspect the problem I am having relates to

Greetings I'm new to R. I became interested in it because my friends at the Swarm Development Team at the Santa Fe Institute have been using/developing R to work as a front end for HDF5 datasets. >From looking at the RPMS for R, I got the idea they were compiled without support for HDF5. Correct? If you are interested in the HDF5 data format and R, on my page I have RPMS for HDF5 and

Hi all, I try to use the hdf5 package. I downloaded the Windows binary version, and it claims it requires hdf5dll.dll library, so I download the whole hdf5 1.4.3 package from NCSA. Unfortunatelly, it crashes R. I suspect it is because the package was probably compiled against version 1.2 of hdf5 (as evoked in the help file?) or any other previous version, so I downloaded the source of the package

Hi there, I am currently working on something that uses hdf5 library. I think hdf5 is a great data format, I've used it somewhat extensively in python via PyTables. I was looking for something similar to that in R. The closest I can get is this library: hdf5. While it does not work the same way as PyTables did, but it's good enough to let them exchange data via hdf5 file. There is just 1

Hello: Has anyone successfully installed the package hdf5-1.4.7 in R version 1.7.1? I get a fatal error with a core dump (see below) whenever I try to use hdf5load. Since I'm in the process of moving to a new machine, I'm not sure whether this is due to (my installations of) the HDF5 libs or the hdf5 package for R. Just for the record, the HDF5 data files were correctly generated in the
