similar to: Problem with R CMD INSTALL and package versions (PR#2878)

The system.file() and .path.package() functions appear to be unaware of package versions and can return incorrect information or fail if a package is installed using `installWithVers = TRUE' of install.packages(). For example, I can run > install.packages("session", "~/R-local/libs", installWithVers = TRUE) and > library(session, version = "1.0.1")

I have just uploaded a package to CRAN called `gpclib' for clipping large and complex polygons. This package provides an R interface to Alan Murta's very fast General Polygon Clipper library (written in C), which has an optimized version of the Vatti algorithm. Not all features of Murta's library are implemented -- right now you can do intersections, differences, and unions. There

Has anyone tried to build r-devel on a RedHat 7.1 with the gcc 3.1.1 compiler? I didn't have problems with gcc 2.95.x or gcc 3.0.4, but when I ran the configure with gcc 3.1.1 I got the following error: [...] checking whether gcc accepts -M for generating dependencies... yes checking whether gcc supports -c -o FILE.lo... yes checking how to get verbose linking output from g77... -v checking

I ran into a problem recently trying to update a package which uses S4 methods using a recent beta of R. I think I can reproduce it with a simple example. I have package called `testpkg' in directory testpkg/. In the R/ subdirectory of testpkg/ I have a file called testpkg.R which contains the following two lines: setClass("testpkg", representation(pts = "list"))

R-devel, SVN revision 35729 (this morning, euro-time) So far, I'm having awful luck with the "installWithVers" flags. Recent example: I can install.packages("lattice", installWithVers=TRUE) successfully (no errors, at least it looks like a successful install), but can't load it: Error in library.dynam(pkg,pkg,lib) : shared library 'lattice_0.12-7' not found

Dear List, I'm building a package that uses 2 functions of the 'sp' package, and I declared them in my NAMESPACE file as follow: importFrom("sp", proj4string, coordinates) The package is built without any problem, but when I load the package, I get the following message: " Loading required package: sp Note: polygon geometry computations in maptools

I realize that others have struggled with this issue...i.e. http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/05/01/9826.html i am on os.x 10.4 w/ R2.2, and am (perhaps foolishly) also on this quest... i would like to be able to install downloaded source (tar.gz'd) files from within an R session, and have it work in a X-platform way..i am often not connected to the internet and have libraries

Hi. I've tried to create a polygon with one hole by gpclib using following example script. holepoly <- read.polyfile(system.file("poly-ex/hole-poly.txt", package ="gpclib"), nohole = FALSE) area.poly(holepoly) plot(holepoly,poly.args=list(col="red",border="blue")) And I noticed plot function couldn't draw polygons with holes correctly.

It might be my settings or improper use -- but if I use the "installWithVers=TRUE" flag for update.packages(), I don't seem to get updates; and if I use "install.packages(new.packages(),installWithVers=TRUE)", it seems to (re-)install identical versions of what I have. (this is with Rdevel from subversion from yesterday) best, -tony blindglobe at gmail.com Muttenz,

Message 2 of today: it works now. After re-installing R.app from the same R-2.1.0.dmg file, and fixInNamespace'ing(*) install.packages(), I managed to update 23 outdated packages from CRAN binaries for MacOS X. What I did was to: 1. change call to .install.macbinaries() into call to install.binaries() in install.packages(). install.binaries() is a function defined utils/R/aqua/GUI.R. 2. I

Dear Mr Moderator, please let me through. I want to reply to my own thread. I once subscribed to this list, but then my subscription was not accepted. Now to the business: The final failure came from missing .install.macbinary() function.
