similar to: help.start() fails (PR#935)

On my system help.start() failed with "could not write .R/doc/html/packages.html " or equivalent. This due to /usr/local/lib/R/doc/html/packages-head.html having protection -r--r--r--. After inserting 'chmod u+w ${PKGLIST}' after 'cp ${R_HOME}/doc/html/packages-head.html ${PKGLIST}'in /usr/local/lib/R/bin/help.links, it works. BTW. bug.report() fails with "mailx:

Starting html help in the current version of R has a very annoying side-effect. It indiscriminantly removes $HOME/.R, and replaces it with a virgin copy. I discovered that when all of a sudden I got complaints about my startup "library" not being found. Below is a modified version of the script that doesn't do this. It is not perfect yet (it shouldn't try to recreate links

I'm pretty sure I'll feel like [more of] an idiot but... Using Rgui working in a fresh, blank directory. > require(MASS) Loading required package: MASS [1] TRUE > data(cabbages) Warning message: ======> Data set `cabbages' not found in: data(cabbages) <===== > ls() [1] "last.warning" > search() [1] ".GlobalEnv" "package:MASS"

I am not sure if this is already known. I checked BUGS and found some references to similar behavior when R_HOME is set? Here is what I get: (1) Fresh build of 1.4.1 under Linux/RH-7.2. All tests pass. > R CMD check ctest * checking for working latex ... OK * using log directory `/home/andyj/stat/R-1.4.1/library/ctest.Rcheck' Installing *source* package `ctest'

To get RSPython installed on my debian test box, I had to make a couple of changes not listed in ftp://www.omegahat.org/pub/Omega/RSPython/FAQ.html 1) I had to change $R_HOME/src/modules/X11 : $(R_X11_la): $(R_X11_la_OBJECTS) $(R_X11_la_DEPENDENCIES) $(SHLIB_LINK) -o $@ $(R_X11_la_LDFLAGS) $(R_X11_la_OBJECTS) $(R_X11_la_LIBADD) $(LIBS) to $(R_X11_la): $(R_X11_la_OBJECTS)

Hi Everyone, We have just upgraded to R-1.2.1, and I note, in contrast to R-1.1.1, that ctest is now loaded automatically. The mechanism for this is to create a .First function in base: .First <- function() { require("ctest", quietly=TRUE) } Now I don't want ctest, but I find that simply putting if (length(grep("ctest", search()))) detach(package:ctest) into

Dear R Help-Team, If I start R and type in search() the result is: [1] ".GlobalEnv" "package:ctest" "Autoloads" "package:base" I often need an Add-on-package. I can load it with "> library(package)" or include a require-command in the .First-function. The .First-function is fine, if I always use the same working directory. But I

Ok, I understand, now. I just leave multiple desktops in place and switch between them as I want. But perhaps you have reasons to do it as you do. That is one thing I really appreciate about Linux, the fact that there are many, many ways to accomplish almost everything and that what is right and works for me may not be what works best for you. Your scripting style is irrelevant so long as it

Here's why. I'm currently experimenting with CentOS on my workstation, trying out different desktop environments like GNOME3, KDE, MATE,

For some files, file.copy() doesn't copy these files correctly. Here you will find a file (Bitmap, 769Kb) to reproduce the problem: http://www.statistik.uni-dortmund.de/leute/ligges/R/test1.bmp Using file.copy("c:/test1.bmp", "c:/test2.bmp", overwrite = TRUE) produces a second file with the size of ~1.4 Mb: http://www.statistik.uni-dortmund.de/leute/ligges/R/test2.bmp

I've been kicking the following idea around for a while, and am now proposing to put some version into 1.7.0. I'd be interested in comments on the desirability and the design, before I start writing any code. S4 introduced a file .S.chapters which can contain a list of S chapters (equivalent to R packages) to be loaded on start-up. This was the germ of this proposal. Proposal: Extend

Dear R-List member, I have installed the new version of R on my PC (see system details below). I can start the RGui with http_proxy succesfully. However, I do encounter two problems: 1) After starting the Rgui the following error message is displayed (vertical dots represent omissions of output): R : Copyright 2003, The R Development Core Team Version 1.7.0 (2003-04-16) . . . .

Hi! I do not have an Rprofile file in $R_HOME/etc, but I do have one in $R_HOME/library/base/R. I thought I could include a .First() function in a new $R_HOME/etc/Rprofile file for attaching a couple files which have custom "always needed" functions. But would the new $R_HOME/etc/Rprofile create a conflict with $R_HOME/library/base/R/Rprofile (in particular because the later also has a

Hello all! I recently install R-1.2.3 and Omegahat SJava pkg (formely Java pkg) 0.62 and tried running the examples by issuing "scripts/RJava --example --gui=none" and I got the following: Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) : unable to load shared library "/usr/lib/R/library/ctest/libs/ctest.so": ld.so.1:

Hi, This is (presumably?) a bug in R 1.7.0 under Windows. I have not tested it on other systems. Attachment of packages is case sensitive but not library(), resulting in multiple loadings of the same package if the library name is spelled differently. The following example loads the `tools' package, once as `tools' and once as `Tools'. This behavior is the same with all packages and

I am having difficulty coming to grips with Appendix B.2 of the otherwise very useful "An Introduction to R" and the related help file for Startup. I am running RGui 1.6.0 on a Windows 2000 machine from the default installation. How the concepts discussed in B.2 and the Startup help file relate to what I see on my machine is something of a mystery. I quote from the Startup file:
