Hi, I have attached a larger Rd file that causes an error when compiled by R CMD Rdconv -t txt xswms2d.Rd (for example). If the size is reduced the error vanishes, see the lines 230 and 527 in the file. I could not find an error within my text and so my guess is that there is some buffer overflow within the compiler. If it is me who has caused the error please let me know -- and many

Hi, I have problems when calling fft_factor and fft_work directly in my C-code. Martin Maechler already told me that I should not do this -- anyway, the code works fine if the length of the vector is a multiple of 2,3,5. If the length of the vector has different form I get, in some cases, a segmentation fault when work and iwork are freed (I use C's malloc to allocate memory for work and

Dear R Core Team, I'm wondering whether it is useful that every package should allow for help(PackageName), giving some general information about the package (more/nicer than library(help=PackageName)). This man page may include some mathematical or statistical background, or contain a guideline for the package. Cheers, Martin -- Martin Schlather email:

Dear all, (sorry I got the wrong button for subscribing a minute ago) At the moment I'm writing on a package for random field simulation that I'd like to make publically availabe in near future. To this end I've asked Martin Maechler to have a look at my R-code. He was very surprised about how I perform the ".C"-calls, and encouraged me to make this request for comments.

Hi, The help for `assign' says In all the assignment operator expressions, `x' can be a name or an expression defining a part of an object to be replaced (e.g., `z[[1]]'). The name does not need to be quoted, though it can be. So I would expect that by a<-1:4 assign("a[1]",2) the first component of a gets the value 2, but the object "a[1]" is

Dear all, Paulo Ribeiro, p.ribeiro@lancaster.ac.uk, and myself noticed that R sometimes breaks down with a segmentation fault of (at least for us) unknown course. (We've read #411 and #671 in the bug report on "optim" -- the problem described there sounds familiar; but we have not found any hint on a segmentation fault.) Please find at the very end of this email the file

Dear R-devel During the last half a year I have several times encountered the following problem with optim() when using method= "L-BFGS-B". The function return a value which is clearly not the maximum (seen from printing the value each time the function is called). Some output is shown below. A few things I have observed (as I remember it): a. The problem seems to occur when the

Full_Name: David Firth Version: 1.8.0 OS: Mac OS 10.2.8 Submission from: (NULL) (80.177.12.48) In .Rd files, we use \url{stuff} to refer to a URL on the web. Just as the documentation says. Perhaps this isn't a bug, then, but certainly it's a trap for the unwary. If the construction \link{url{something}} appears in a .Rd file, then Rdconv --type=html ... gets stuck and appears

I've created a .Rd file (below), then converted that to .sgml using R CMD Rdconv --type=Ssgm combn.Rd > combn.sgml The output (shown below) is missing some of the sections: arguments seealso examples If instead I convert to .d (below), the same sections are missing, and the "note" section is included but without the necessary newline.

Hello, experts! I've tried to convert MASS.Rd, for instance: R CMD Rdconv -t txt MASS.Rd -o MASS.txt 2>MASS.log Comp was thinking for a long, about 30s on Linux 600MHz/128M, but after that R didn't produce the result MASS.txt file, but very large log. Here is its header: ******* Syntax error: mismatched or missing brackets in /----- \name{Aids2} \alias{Aids2} \title{

Hi, Please see the email exchanges below. I am having trouble generating output that is large enough for our needs, specifically when using the GaussRF function. However, when I wrote Dr. Schlather (the author of the GaussRF function), he indicated that there is also a limit imposed by R itself. Is this something that we can overcome? Thank you very much for any assistance you may provde.

Hello! I have just read mails in thread <http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/devel/04a/0583.html> about problems with Cygwin and Rtools. I had the same problems and kept just the newest cygwin1.dll and things seem OK now. However I currently hit the problem with Perl (I have ActiveState and Cygwin Perl installed). When I tried to work with 'Rdconv' in Cygwin I get the following: $

Hi there, I'm trying to get the manual for an R package (that I'm creating) to work... Firstly, I created the *.Rd files (by following the instructions in "Writing R Extensions" and using prompt() in R, then edit the *.Rd files. I then copy them into the "pkg/man" directory as suggested by the manual. However when I load the library (successfully) in R, I cannot

If an Rd file has only one keyword entry then the Splus sgm file made with Rdconv --type=SSgm has no keyword entries.
