similar to: Windows startup menu display problem in 1.9.0 (PR#6783)

Hi, I have just upgraded from the 1.8.1 to the 1.9.0 version of R, and have some trouble to run RWinEdt from the .Rprofile file (in the user folder). The script is: library(MASS) library(lattice) cat("Load editor?(y/n default = y): ") nf <- as.character(readLines(n = 1)) if ((nf=="y")|(nf=="Y")|(nf=="")) {library(RWinEdt)} rm(nf) When run at start,

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

I'm using Rprofile file on R1.9.0 startup and inside I'm loading a personal Library which uses winMenuAdd() and I've got this error : Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : couldn't find function "winMenuAdd" I hadn't this problem with others R versions. What Can I do now to avoid that? I'm using R1.9.0 under Win98. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I had this problem too. The documentation for the winMenus says that these functions are part of the utils package. R must be loading this library after it sources in Rprofile. If you add library(utils) to the beginning of your .First function, it should take care of the problem. Brian Gregor, P.E.

Hi all, I have a .First <- function() {...} in the Rprofile.site file. Through .First() I'm adding several menus to the GUI to access several functions I've been developing for own use. However, I also need to launch R scripts silently in a batch way, and in this case I get the error message: "Error in winMenuAdd(menuname, NULL, NULL): Menu functions can only be used in the

Dear R experts, I just upgraded R from 1.8.1 to 1.9.0 version. My .First() function in ~/.Rprofile contains x11() and par() functions. .First <- function() { x11(display = "", 8.0, 5.0) par(las = 1, ...) ## ... } And, R claims now, on startup: [hello messages skiped ...] Error in .First() : couldn't find function "x11" > I commented

Microsoft Windows R users, I am operating Windows 2000 (build2195) with R1.7. It may be pertinent that I am using a dual head screen with the initial RGui filing the entire area of both screens. When starting R I use the .First() function to add menu items to the RGui interface using winMenuAdd() and winMenuAddItem(). The menus do not display until the RGui window is physically manipulated in

Hi all, In the CHANGES file for R-2.3.0alpha, there is the following statement: winMenuAdd() now has no limits on the number of menus or items, and names are now limited to 500 (not 50) bytes. However, I can reproducibly get a segfault using this (admittedly silly) example: for( i in 1:5) winMenuAdd(paste("Test", letters[i], sep="")) for(i in 1:5) for(j in 1:24)

Hello, I run websockets 1.1.1 from R 2.15 without any problems. I would like to deploy R script running automatically for all users when R is starting from Rprofile.site like follow: .First <- function() { source("C:\\R\\orig-websockets.R") } This script is from websockets package distribution. The error is follow: Error in .parse_header(x) :

Quite often I save misc functions and data objects as .RData files that I can use in other sessions. Although I could 'Load Workspace" these files, most of the times I prefer attaching them. It would be really convenient to have a menu item under the File menu on the Windows R Console to allow attaching workspaces, e.g. -------------------- Attach Workspace... Load Workspace... Save

Dear guRus, I'm maintaining central R installation (Linux) for our institute. The startup screen of R traditionally echoes some messages (starting with "R version ...Copyright (C).. The R Foundation for Statistical Computing...") and I'd like to display for example right after these messages some other messages about our specific setup, how to contact me etc ... What

I am trying to get a script to start automatically when I run the GUI version of R version 1.9.0, started from a .bat file (WINDOWS), but I'm getting strange errors In version 1.8.1 I was able to run a script automatically by copying the script into the file .Rprofile and running Rgui from a .bat script, but in version 1.9.0 I'm getting errors like: Error in inherits(x,

Dear R-List member, I have installed the new version of R on my PC (see system details below). I can start the RGui with http_proxy succesfully. However, I do encounter two problems: 1) After starting the Rgui the following error message is displayed (vertical dots represent omissions of output): R : Copyright 2003, The R Development Core Team Version 1.7.0 (2003-04-16) . . . .

In the context of calling R from another program (namely gretl, http://gretl.sourceforge.net ) I'm trying to understand the interactions of the R init file (corresponding to the environment variable RPROFILE) and the source() function. I'll illustrate my problem with the following simplified contrast implemented in the bash shell (with R 2.7.1). 1. Works fine: allin at myrtle:~/Rfoo$

Dear list mates, Are {utils} dialog box functions, and winMenuAdd... functions used to change (e.g. Console) menus, platform dependent? I'm writing a script loaded with .First that provides first time users in a lab course with the ability to select, load, and change between what I called a 'session' (more specific save that focuses on the session object I defined rather than the

Folks: I don't know whether the following is a Windows or R problem, nor whether it is particular to my particular Windows version/setup. So any help would be appreciated. First the problem, then the info. The following code can be cut and pasted into your R session ############################# ### start R ### create a plot on device 2 (which can be determined by dev.cur()) plot(1:10)

Recently in R-devel, I've noticed that when I start up R, code in .Rprofile (in the working directory) gets sourced but any messages printed out by that code (e.g. by `cat') are printed *before* the introductory statement about R. For example, if I put the line library(KernSmooth) in my .Rprofile file, I get artemis:> R KernSmooth 2.22 installed Copyright M. P. Wand 1997 R :

Hello, I'm having some difficulty understanding the documentation relative to the startup files with R-Aqua 2.0.1 for Mac OS X. Specifically, I'm wondering: where does R search for the startup files (my home directory at Users:<me>:?); how should they be named (.RProfile will be treated by Mac OS X as a system file and be hidden, so I'm wondering if it should just be

I'm trying to source a file automatically every time I start R. I tried adding the following .First function in a file Rprofile.site in my $R_HOME/etc/ directory (verified $R_HOME by Sys.getenv()) as well as in a file .Rprofile in my $HOME directory and .Rprofile in the working directory: .First <- function(){ source(file.path(Sys.getenv("HOME"), "R",

Hi, After some reading and experimentation I found that I cannot solve this problem: 1. I am starting R and check: > system("pwd") /home/woodstock/hoffmacw/R/test > system("echo $HOME") /home/woodstock/hoffmacw > system("echo $R_PROFILE") /home/woodstock/hoffmacw/R > system("ls $R_PROFILE/.Rprofile") /home/woodstock/hoffmacw/R/.Rprofile
