Hello, I am a new R user not at ease with installing and updating R package under Ubuntu (Hardy), so that I cannot run R anymore ...! I initially installed r version 2.6.2.2 (amd64) from Intrepid instead of Hardy (!), but it worked. I tried to update to version 2.9, but did not succeeded:    (1) I added to my /etc/apt/sources.list an entry :           deb

Below are a few problems I have encountered with the new checks being done in R-devel. 1/ I have two generics, test.equal and test.equal.tframe. The first checks that two objects are equal while the second checks if two objects have equal tframes (time frames). There is no reason these should have similar arguments but the check seems to think that test.equal.tframe is a method for test.equal so

Using AIX 5.3 and gcc-4.2.1 for building R-2.7.1 with the following configure flags OBJECT_MODE=64 CC="gcc -maix64" CXX="g++ -maix64" F77="gfortran -maix64" FC="gfortran -maix64" CFLAGS="-g -O3" CXXFLAGS="-g -O3" FFLAGS="-g -O3" FCFLAGS="-g -O3" LDFLAGS="-L/$HOME/usr/local/lib/ppc64

I am unclear on whether to run R CMD check pgkname as user or as root on Linux. When running as user, after all the latex, html, and man files are created, I get the following error message: Rdconv(): Couldn't open '': Permission denied Has anyone dealt with that message? When I run R CMD check a second time, all latex, html, etc. are recreated which takes quite a while. Is there

Dear R developers, When building/checking my package (in R 2.6.1 under windows) I run into some messages that I do not completely understand and that do not give me precise enough leads to pinpoint where the error in my package is. I would be very grateful for any suggestions. Did anyone else encounter the same problem before? When building or installing the package, I get the message (no error

I've rolled up R-1.8.0.tgz a short while ago. This is a new version with major changes (see below). Notably, the Macintosh version for OS X has been substantially improved; the old Carbon interface is no longer being supported. Also notice that the underscore will no longer work as an assignment operator. There is also a bunch of new functions and an assortment of bugs have been fixed. You

Hello everybody. I am trying to upgrade from R-1.9.0 to R-1.9.1 on a RedHat linux 2.4.18 system. I get the following error after "tar -xvzf R-1.9.1.tgz ; cd ./R-1.9.1/ ; ./configure" and "make" : [make works for 10 minutes ... snip ...] varExp text html latex varFixed text html latex varFunc

I am getting the following: *** Weave Errors *** Error in driver$runcode(drobj, chunk, chunkopts) : Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : couldn't find function "pacf.mts" *** Source Errors *** Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : couldn't find function "pacf.mts" make[1]: *** [checkVignettes] Error 1 I don't really understand the new namespace mechanism,

As from R 2.0.0, R CMD check has not flagged .C etc calls without a PACKAGE argument in packages with a namespace. Unfortunately that was based on too optimistic assumptions. 1) The mechanism to find the DLL from the namespace only works if the DLL is declared via a useDynLib declaration in NAMESPACE (and only if there is one such declaration). This is checked in R-devel. 2) In 2.1.1, the

Background: I run tools::testInstalledPackage on all packages that dependend on survival (605 as of today) before sending a new release to CRAN. It has a few false positives which I then follow up on.? (Mostly packages with as-yet-incomplete tests in their inst directory). ?Issue: testInstalledPackage("mets")? generates an?

tools::md5sum gives a warning if it receives a directory as an argument on Unix but not on Windows. >From what I understand, this happens because in Windows a directory is not treated as a file so fopen returns NULL. Then, NA is returned without a warning. On Unix, a directory is treated as a file so fopen does not return NULL so md5 is run and fails, leading to a warning. This is a good

I have a package in which I would like to store a LaTeX .tex file. It is not documentation on any particular function, but is related to the package. In thought that I could just create a "doc" directory under the "inst" subdirectory and place it there. I thought that things in "inst" were just recursively copied when the package was installed. Alas, when I check the

In R-devel (Aug 15) I am getting some warnings "Objects documented but missing from the code:" The ones I have checked are definitely in the code, so I suspect there is a bug in this check. I'm very busy today and then away until after the projected release of the new version so I cannot follow up on this as carefully as I would like to. I expect the problem is reproducible with dse

In running R CMD check I get an error I can't debug. Would someone please let me know if they spot a syntax error in the code below or if there is a workaround for the parse error?

The released version of R-1.7.0 builds and checks fine on Mandrake 9.1, but I am still having trouble with my vignettes and sweave causing segfaults. Unfortunately the segfaults with the release version are happening in tests where I have much more difficulty trapping them. I did also build R-1.7.0beta_2003-04-16 this morning, and for that the segfaults occurred in a test which is much easier for

The subject line says it all. How can I find what Error: cannot set length of non-vector means? RTFS is no help. I can find out of course that it comes from "lengthgets", but who called that? Not me! The situation is as follows. I am trying to get a package ready for CRAN. Every time I run "R CMD check" I get this error when building the package vignette. But (!)

Dear R folks, One of the fantastic new tools in R is `Sweave'. I have tested it so much that I know it works and produces fine documentation, and with (GNU) Emacs/ESS it is nice to work with, too. I started to have a look at including some Swoven (is that a strong verb?) documentation with my R package, but it seems that there is no model to copy among those packages that I have installed in
