similar to: Rprofile.site assignments occur in base package (PR#2448)

Folks: Winnt; R1.7.0 (freshly installed) running under Rgui.exe.,MDI=yes. The following is repeatable: On startup, in my Rprofile.site file, I use winMenuAdd() etc. to install some user menus. However, they do not appear when R GUI window opens. If I minimize and restore the window, the added menus now are present. The exact same procedure under 1.6.2 with exactly the same Rprofile.site and

My apologies if these are known -- I'm new to R (moved over from S-Plus). All on Windows NT GUI, R1.6.1 and associated packages. 1. save(x) gives the following error message: Error in save(x) : `file' must be non-empty string According to the save() help file, the empty string is the default. 2. In the file>Display file GUI menu, if you try to display a file that is in use by

All: The select.list() command brings up a "modal dialog box with a (scrollable) list of items ..." etc. -- i.e., a GUI control. I also know about winDialog, file.choose and the winMenu commands. What other such GUIisms are built into ** base ** R (I know about the tcltk package)? Or, better yet, how can I search on or list them? Many thanks. Bert Gunter Biometrics Research RY 84-16

R-Listers: A very minor -- and maybe silly -- question just for personal enlightenment. In S (either R or S-Plus, AFAIK) when one types or pastes a trellis graphics command into the commands/console window, the graph is automatically produced: e.g., trellis.device(...) xyplot(y~x) If one puts these in a function and calls the function, the same occurs. However, if one sources in these command

It seems that my Rprofile.site file is not executed when I start R. To test this I included the following code in that file: .First <- function(){ cat("\nWelcome at", date(), "\n") flush.console() } When I start R the message above is not displayed. I am running R 2.6.1 (rgui.exe) under Vista Home Premium. The Rprofile.site is in the etc folder and the R_PROFILE

On Debian/Ubuntu, system wide environment variables and options are set in respectively /etc/R/Renviron.site and /etc/R/Rprofile.site. These files are automatically created when r-base is installed, and do not get overwritten during an upgrade. On Fedora, there is no /etc/R directory. What is the recommended place to define system wide environment variables and options on a Fedora system?

Hi Bert, Thanks for the suggestions. I tried lme with different control parameters, and also tried using "ML", instaed of "REML", but still got the same answers. Yes, I hope some gurus on this list could give me some hints. Thanks --- "Gunter, Bert" <bert_gunter at merck.com> wrote: > But they are close. This is almost certainly a > numeric issue --

I've been successfully using a dll via dyn.load() with R1.6.0 for Windows, but when I try it under R1.6.1 it manages to crash the program completely. Has there been a change in how R1.6.1 handles dynamic loading? I couldn't spot any such changes in the documentation. This problem occurred on two different machines, and both run the code under R1.6.0 without a problem. Rob Hyndman

For your consideration: > z [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 NA [2,] 2 NA [3,] 3 NA > colSums(z) [1] 6 NA Correct, according to the documentation > colSums(z,na.rm=T) [1] 6 0 Surprising to me, but, as documented, correctly consistent with apply() and >sum(NULL) [1] 0 The documentation for sum() explicitly notes that the sum of an empty set is 0 by definition, so that users

R1.6.2 winnt. file.choose() gives an error if the dialog is cancelled without choosing a file. This can be easily dealt with via try(), but I would have thought that a NULL or NA return would be the expected behavior. Cheers, Bert Gunter Biometrics Research RY 84-16 Merck & Company P.O.

Hello. I have an R program that calls gawk (GNU Awk 3.06 for Windows) from within pipe() to preprocess a large file before it is read into a data frame with read.table(). I've recently upgraded from Win98SE to WinXP, and have also upgraded from R1.5.0 to R1.6.1 over the past month or so. This program worked before the upgrade(s), but now fails. I observe the following sort of behavior with

Hi all, I was playing with R-devel 2005-03-08 on winXP Pro (installed from Duncan's installer). My .Rprofile contains: options(defaultPackages=c(getOption("defaultPackages"), "mypkg"), chmhelp=TRUE) but "mypkg" has not yet been installed in the library/ directory of this installation. When Rgui starts, I do not get any error or warning, but upon

Hi, there might be a bug in read.delim (also read.table) in R.1.6.2. I included the correct input done in R1.6.1 first, then the wrong input in R1.6.2. The discrepancies are highlighted in red.

Hello. For building REmbeddedPostgres in Omegat project(http://www.omegahat.org/RSPostgres/) requiring PostgresSQL's libs, I've tried to build R1.6.1 on Cygwin following the instruction of http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/ since full-spec PostgresSQL running on Windows can run only on Cygwin environment, However I've got following error messages. make -C front-ends Rpwd

I would appreciate some advice on what the preferred contents of RProfile.site vs. .Rprofile should be. A .First() function can reside in either one, but is it preferred to place it in .Rprofile? I currently use .First() in .Rprofile files placed in separate directories used for different RStudio projects. Thank you [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi everyone. I have recently installed R 2.14.1 on my 64-bit Windows 7 laptop. I am attempting to include some favourite functions in the Rprofile.site file to run at R start-up as I did with my previous 32-bit XP machine. I have edited the Rprofile.site file in "C:\Program Files\R\R-2.14.1\etc\" but the added code doesn't seem to be executed when I run R, whether through Tinn-R

Hello: I've been using "Rprofile.site" for several years to set the repos environment variable as follows: options(repos=c(CRAN='http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu', CRANextra='http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin') ) However, R 2.15.0 is not recognizing this. Instead, I get the following: options('repos') $repos

I am trying to install custom packages upon starting R. A lot of the code that is written by us right now is available for editing to the users. To try and protect the code, I am packaging the production level code and having the users install it on their machine during start up. However, when I try to install packages in RProfile.site file, the program goes into a loop and R is constantly

Dear All I inserted a frequently used function (subroutine) right into my Rprofile.site which allows me to run it each time-works great. However, this approach is obviously suitable for a short function or a small number of functions. Instead of inserting the lines in Rprofile.site, is there a way to insert one line pointing to (fetching) the function in a local drive, similar to #include

Dear all. I am trying to install missing (not installed) packages during startup of R through code in Rprofile.site but I miserably failed and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. R is installed to C:Program files but it is not writable for the users, therefore I cannot change Rprofile.site located in root etc directory. I however can put Rprofile.site in users home directory (Documents)
