Hello, Apologies in advance if this should be in R-devel, not Rhelp. I did read through the R-devel thread started by Gabor Grothendieck in September of this year - I am getting the exact same error using a new computer that has XP installed, not vista, complaining that the file hhc.exe is not found. I have downloaded the hhc.exe to HTML Help Workshop dir in Program Files but it says that

Hi I have a package which was built using R 1.9.1 and everything worked fine. I recently upgraded to R 2.0.1 and tried to re-install my package - and I got: Error in library(mypackage) : 'mypackage' is not a valid package -- installed < 2.0.0? So I tried rebuilding it using my new version of R: R CMD BUILD --binary mypackage hhc: not found cp: cannot stat `mypackage.chm': No

Hi, I am trying to build a package from source for the first time. I'm using Windows XP. After R CMD INSTALL or R CMD check I get an error message that I don't understand. I've tried to follow the instrucions provided in the R Installation and Administration .pdf and the text file that comes with Rtools, but most of this is new to me and clearly I'm missing something. Here's

Hi, I''m having some strange/random crashes with ferret when using different programs on the same index.

Dear List, I have been experimenting with building packages from sources, having previously relied upon the binaries. I downloaded and installed all the tools suggested in http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/ , including ActivePerl 5.6.1.631. I also downloaded the HTML Help workshop exe and installed it. During install though, a message popped up to say that I had a newer version of the

Dear R users, I am having problems building R packages in Windows xp. I have followed the instructions from Peter E. Rossi in Documentation -> Other, except for the TeX version (fpTeX), since when I go to the recommended webpage, it is said that fpTeX has been discontinued.

Hi, If I want to build R-patched from source (on Windows), do I need to edit Makefile and/or MkRules at all? I have followed all instructions in the INSTALL file (under R-patched/src/gnuwin32/), as well as downloaded all the files from http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/ . My PATH variable has been modified accordingly. Now, with the only change to MkRules I made was to modify the Tcl/Tk

Dear R-helpers, I'm having trouble compiling R packages from source on Win2K. I installed R 1.7.1beta [1] on my win2k machine [2], downloaded the fields package as source [3] and tried but failed to install the package [4]. I get the same problem with other packages, so it doesn't appear to be limited to fields. Installation of precompiled packages seems to work fine. I've been

Hi, I''m currently trying to set up a solution involving multiple servers using the same index over nfs. The problem is that from what I have seen, ferret doesn''t support multiple processes writing to the same index. Using a DRb service is not an option since this would create a single point of failure. I tried using Ferret::Store::FSDirectory to create a write lock on the the

Hello, I've spent a while reading about configuring WINE for use with hhc.exe to create .chm files. These instructions almost work: http://code.google.com/p/htmlhelp/wiki/HHW4Wine But, when comparing the Windows-generated .chm to the Linux-generated .chm, the Linux-generated one does not have sorted or consolidated index entries. It seems that whatever part of the process is responsible for

Hi all I am not sure this question is better suitted for the R-devel or R-help, but here it goes anyway I am not a software developer but I have produced a personal set of functions that I would like now to combine in a package.

Hi, I'm having some problems installing packages from the source files on Windows, using R CMD INSTALL pkg. I'm running WindowsXP, and I've followed the instructions as per the README.packages file from the R installation. I ran into a hitch, with the install failing following a "hhc: not found" warning. I figured out that this was related to the html help workshop.
