similar to: problem with tilde expansion in install.packages

I've noticed recently that 'update.packages' and 'install.packages' seem to not do tilde expansion anymore, i.e. when I run update.packages("~/R-local/lib") on R-alpha (r41043) I get the message /home/rpeng/install/R-alpha/lib64/R/bin/INSTALL: line 304: cd: ~/R-local/lib: No such file or directory and the package is subsequently installed in the current working

Hi All, I've been working on updating the 'genetics' package. As a consequence of the upgrade, .First.lib() looks like: .First.lib <- function(libname, pkgname) { if (!require(combinat)) warning("Unable to load 'combinat' library. Function `diseq.ci' will fail.") require(gregmisc) genotype <-

I have a tiny R script performing two tasks, the first one of which may contain error. mammon(12)% cat z.R version options(show.error.messages = FALSE) try(b <- log("foo")) ## task 1 1 + 2 ## task 2 Running in batch mode from a solaries machine, the second task never got started; see below: mammon(13)% R BATCH --vanilla -q z.R mammon(14)% cat z.Rout >

With the recent changes in R 1.9.x, it is now impossible to properly call plot on a formula() where the formula is provided via a named first argument. On today's R-1.9.1-alpha: > x <- 1:10 > y <- rnorm(x,0.25) > > plot(x~y) > > plot(x=x~y) Error in terms.formula(formula, data = data) : argument is not a valid model > > plot(formula=x~y) Error in

Hello everybody, if I try to (r)bind a number of large dataframes I run out of memory because R wastes memory and seems to "forget" to release memory. For example I have 10 files. Each file contains a large dataframe "ds" (3500 cols by 800 rows) which needs ~20 MB RAM if it is loaded as the only object. Now I try to bind all data frames to a large one and need more than

When I build R-devel (or the alpha snapshots) on a system without makeinfo >= 4.7, I get a warning about not being able to build HTML/Info help pages after running 'configure' (but 'make' runs smoothly and there are no errors). However, when I run 'make install' I get an error, something like make[2]: Entering directory

I've noticed a change in the way grep() behaves between the 1.9.0 release and a recent R-patched. On 1.9.0 I get the following output: > x <- dget(file = url("http://www.biostat.jhsph.edu/~rpeng/names.R")) > length(grep("^l\\w+tmean", x, perl = TRUE, value = TRUE)) [1] 84 And on R-patched (2004-06-11) I get > x <- dget(file =

Dear R community, I tried to optimized my R code by using Rprof. In my R code I'm using MySQL database connections intensively. After a bunch of queries R fails with the following error message: Error in .Call("RS_MySQL_newConnection", drvId, con.params, groups, PACKAGE = .MySQLPkgName) : RS-DBI driver: (could not connect mylogin@mydatabase on dbname "myDB"

Hello, I notice an odd behavior of gregmisc package when using "update.packages()" via R --no-save (as root). Every time I launch update.packages() gregmisc is repeatedly selected for upgrade. Current available version of gregmisc is 2.08 according to 'installed.packages()'. Despite I obviousely have already installed the most up to date gregmisc, gregmisc will be updated

Dear useR I want to know why package gregmisc did not work very well. I did not find this package in my library directory. > local({a <- CRAN.packages() + install.packages(select.list(a[,1],,TRUE), .libPaths()[1], available=a, dependencies=TRUE)}) trying URL `http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.0/PACKAGES' Content type `text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1' length 21630 bytes

After loading the RODBC package version 1.1-7, Ctrl-C changes its behaviour and is quitting R and returning to the (unix-)command prompt on the solaris2.8 platform here. Here's what happened before and after loading RODBC > for (i in 1:10^5) rnorm(10) ^C > library(RODBC) > for (i in 1:10^5) rnorm(10) ^C bash-3.00$ platform sparc-sun-solaris2.8 arch

Hi, I've got a problem to use the SJava package with R. I have a SUN solaris 8 machine. Then I did R INSTALL -c SJava_0.65-0.tar.gz without problem Now I try the test provided on the web site: library(SJava) and here I receive the error message: Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) : unable to load shared library

Conversion of a data frame to a matrix using as.matrix() when a column of the data frame is POSIXt and all other columns are numeric has changed in R 1.9.0 from R 1.8.1. The new behavior issues a warning message and converts to a character matrix. In R 1.8.1, such an object was converted to a numeric matrix. Here is an example. #### R 1.9.0 #### > foo <- data.frame(

If I issue the command > update.packages() it wants to update 'gregmisc' but then if I do it again right afterwards it still wants to update 'gregmisc'. It should have updated everything the first time and should not be trying to update anything the second time. Any comments? Here is the transcript of a session (R version at end): > update.packages() gregmisc :

I am using the function permutations from the package *gregmisc*. However, I am also making use of the package *e1071*, which also contains a function called permutations. I want to use the function permutations from the * gregmisc* package, however, the other package is masking this function. This happens both when I load the *e1071* package before *gregmisc* and when I load *e1071* after I load

Are the functions 'R_Unserialize' and 'R_InitFileInPStream' allowed to be used in R packages? I guess I'm just not clear on the implications of this comment in 'Rinternals.h': /* The connection interface is not yet available to packages. To allow limited use of connection pointers this defines the opaque pointer type. */ I have a function in the
