similar to: Rd2dvi - script (PR#1029)

I'm sorry to bother everyone with a stupid question but, when I am at an R prompt in Windows, is there a way to see what packages you already have installed from the R site so that you can just do library(name_of_package) and it will work. I've looked at help etc but I can't find a command like this. Maybe there isn't one which is fine.

hi, can anyone confirm the following problem? when i do dos> rcmd rd2dvi --pdf my-package-name i get dos> Can't open perl script "c:\PROGRA~1\r\rw1091/bin/rd2dvi": No such file or directory might the problem be in (double back slashes rather than forward slashes) R-1.9.1\src\gnuwin32\front-ends\rcmdfn.c(251): strcat(cmd, RHome); strcat(cmd, "/bin/Rd2dvi.sh");

Is there any way of getting just the LaTex output which R CMD Rd2dvi generates on the way to produces a .dvi file, which could then be incoorporated into another document?

If I execute R CMD Rd2dvi foo.Rd I get messages of the form: Converting Rd files to LaTeX ... foo.Rd Creating dvi output from LaTeX ... Saving output to 'foo.dvi' ... cp: .Rd2dvi4366/Rd2.dvi: No such file or directory Done xdvi-xaw: Fatal error: foo.dvi: No such file. Indeed if I add the --no-clean flag and then cd to the .Rd2dvi<whatever> directory, I find that there is no

Hi, I run R 2.5.1 on Mac OS 10.4.10 and fail to build a package manual. Below is the transcript. The problem is a "pdflatex: command not found" error but I think that I have a fully working latex install (installed with iInstaller) as I use TeXShop with no problem. Could someone help?

I'm trying to use R CMD Rd2dvi and I end up at a Latex (I think) command prompt. What's missing or what am I suppose to do?

Hi, I run into a problem with "R CMD Rd2dvi" command: it gives me "File `Rd.sty' not found" error (See the output message on the bottom). I get the same error when running "RCMD check". My system is: Windows 2000, R version 2.0.1, MiKTeX version 2.4. I do have a Rd.sty file in R_HOME/share/texm directory. I looked through newsgroups for any related discussions

I construct a pdf package manual in Windows 7 using R CMD Rd2dvi --pdf --no-preview [packagename] Page numbers are listed correctly under 'R topics documented' at the front, but incorrectly (offset by -2 pages) in the Index at the back. Following the hyperlinked page numbers in the Index takes you to the wrong page. 2 pages happens to be the length of the package overview man page inserted

Dear subscribers of R-devel I am experiencing that R crashes (further details are given below) in some complex matrix calculations when EISPACK=TRUE has been specified in eigen(). I discovered the behaviour some months ago just after the release of R-2.2.0, and it has been lying on my desk since. I apologise for not having nailed the problem down to a simple function call, but I thought I

Full_Name: Ole Christensen Version: 1.6.1 OS: linux-gnu Submission from: (NULL) (130.225.18.176) In package boot : > inv.logit(800) [1] NaN where it should have been 1. The problem is caused by exp(x) returning Inf when x is large. One way of fixing the problem [there may be better ways] would be to include the line out[x > 709] <- 1 in inv.logit() Cheers Ole >

Hello, I can build packages with R-2.8.0 but I cannot run the code: R CMD Rd2dvi --pdf --no-clean <pkg_name> =20 Error message: .: Can't open C:/Apps/R/R280/share/sh/dcf.sh: No such file or directory The system cannot find the path specified. =20 The above code works fine in R-2.7.2. =20 Comparing the bash script Rd2dvi.sh between R-2.7.2 and R-2.8.0 makes me think that the script is

In 1.7.1 and today's r-patched in Windows, starting a continuation line with a tab in a DESCRIPTION file causes the continuation to be lost. For example, I have this file: Package: orientlib Title: Support for orientation data Version: 0.2 Author: Duncan Murdoch Description: Representations, conversions and display of orientation SO(3) data. See the orientlib help topic for details.

I'd like to make MikTeX the default TeX package in 2.2.0, but we still need to let people use other packages. The problem is that MikTeX wants a command line option --include-directory $R_HOME/share/texmf, while other packages specify includes via environment variables, and barf when they see the unexpected option. The choice should be controlled by the user's settings in the MkRules

When I create a manual for a package that I create and use locally, e.g. via R CMD Rd2dvi --pdf foo where ``foo'' is the name of the directory containing the source for the package (also named ``foo'') the resulting manual does not appear to have an index. The package.pdf files appearing on CRAN all seem to have indices. What must I do to get an index appended to the

The document R-exts contains the following example of using mathematics in R documentation. \deqn{p(x) = {\lambda^x\ \frac{e^{-\lambda}}{x!}} {p(x) = lambda^x exp(-lambda)/x!} There is a syntax error in there, but that's not my point. The problem is that using "R CMD Rd2dvi" I find that putting the alternate forms of the equation on top of each other doesn't work.

Hi When preparing documentation using Rd2dvi sometimes we get "overflow" on some lines. The consequence is that in the documentation there are some lines where words are not hyphenated or moved. The final document has some lines with more columns than the rest of the text. This happens when we use \code{} (which probably calls the \tt in latex). I've been checking the documentation

Dear all, I writing my first package and everything seems to work (at least up to now) However when I try to build documentation (.dvi or .pdf), using Rcmd Rd2dvi.sh --pdf mypack.Rd I get a mypack.pdf whose title is "R documentation of mypack.Rd" instead of "The mypack package" as it should be, is it right? Also Version, Title, ....License, namely info from the DESCRIPTION

I have noted that the later versions of Rcmd check cleans out the directory pkg.Rcheck so that only package-manual.log and package-manual.pdf are left. Formerly the package-manual.tex was around too --- very handy for various purposes. Is there a way to generate the .tex - version of the manual for a package? br.
