This has been in the R-admin manual for a least a week, and I reported it here earlier than that. R 2.0.0 alpha does not allow f2c on 64-bit platforms. It's all been dealt with quite awhile ago ....

I think I've said it before, but I think such a book ought to coauthor Paul Johnson, whether or not he does any work beyond the Rtips web pages. A few of the tips may need a bit of

dear wizards: FYI: gentoo is a linux meta distribution, which compiles all packages. Once running, gentoo is stable on most applications. (it has some problems with system tools, such as grub.) the compiler is gcc 3.3.3. I do not expect anyone to track down for me why R fails on the gentoo amd64+gcc3.3.3 system, but I thought that it would be good to put it on the record to save

Dear Dirk, I have had the exactly same problem like Ivo and his solution worked for me. Hence the USE=f77 flag is NOT a typo but a Gentoo quirk. As far as modifying the configure script is concerned, I believe that it is certainly possible to perform said check (if 'f77 --version == f2c' then die) only on x86_64 platforms. And I'd argue it is f2c's fault. AMD64 linux distros have

My appologies, this estimation is about right, I spent last week at COMPSTAT in prague and didn't follow the list closely.

dear wizards: my .Rprofile has just one command for testing, loadhistory("~/.Rhistory") but this gives me an error on R startup: Error: couldn't find function "loadhistory" Invoking loadhistory() as the first interactive command works fine; incidentally, I believe loadhistory() in the .Rprofile worked in earlier or other platform R releases, too. Is the .Rprofile

hi: could someone please point me to a function that allows me to solve general non-linear functions? > irr.in <- function(r, c1, c2, c3 ) { return(c1+c2/(1+r) + c3/(1+r)^2); } > solve.nonlinear( irr.in, -100, 60, 70 ); 0.189 If someone has written an irr function, this would be helpful, too---though not difficult to write, either. thanks for any pointers.

dear R wizards: I would like to write a function that roughly places the equivalent of the following latex text into the current plot: \newcommand{ \placesigma }[4]{ \put(\#1,\#2){ \sigma_{A , #3} = #4 } I cannot figure out how to do this. I know I have to use a function that uses expressions in a text() invoke. But passing arguments and nesting strings and expressions has so far not

It seems to be an "n-pass design." Years ago, when memory was expensive, I could not use S/R even for simple problems. Just a few simple operations, and I

dear R community: i have been looking but failed to find the following: is there a function in R that updates a plain OLS lm() model with one additional observation, so that I can write a function that computes recursive residuals *quickly*? PS: (I looked at package strucchange, but if I am not mistaken, the recresid function there takes longer than iterating over the models fresh from

Dear R wizards: under R-2.1.0: eargs <- 3:5; line <- paste(c("echo A B", eargs)); cat("executing from R: '", line, "'\n"); system(line); Oddly, only "A" and "B" are echoed, not the eargs. I had hoped that line would be one string at this point, and for printing this seems to be true. However, unlist(line) still gives me the 4

hi: where would I find facilities to draw circles, ovals, and semicircles? (or should I construct them myself using curve?) regards, /ivo

I ran into an interesting oddity of R, if (0) { print(1); } else { print(2); } is a syntax error, while if (0) { print(1); } else { print(2); } or if (0) { print(1); } else { print(2); } is not. I presume it has to do with the duality of the newline functioning as an end of command (;) character, though it still seems a bit odd, and it took me a while to figure out

dear R wizards--- I would like to do some book-on-demand printing at a popular printer named lulu, but lulu requires inclusion even of the basic postscript fonts. Interestingly, my book itself does not need the 14 base acrobat fonts, only the embedded R figures do. Of course, I really would like to get pdftex to embed the fonts, but how to do this is not obvious either. [This method seems

When trying to build R-1.1.0, the configure script reported no Fortran compiler, even though '/usr/bin/f2c' was present, and R-1.0.1 had found and successfully used this. I traced this to an apparent typo in line 2067 of configure: for name in g77 fort77 f77 f90 xlf cf77 fc; do changing this to: for name in g77 fort77 f77 f90 xlf cf77 f2c; do allowed the script to 'find'

Last Friday my computer monitor was messed up by on-line patches update. I had to reinstall everything from the o.s. and all applications on top of it. I have downloaded R source from the official site. I have uncompressed the archive and ran the configure as root in /usr/local/bin. The configuration procedure dies writing: *configure: error: Neither an F77 compiler nor f2c found * but actually
