Duncan, I don't know what we want, but it is not a simple matter of documenting what .dynLibs currently does. What I see as bugs are 1) the inconsistent names and types of the components returned by .dynLibs(). 2) the inconsistent inclusion or not of R_X11 in the list returned by .dynLibs(). 3) the inclusion of static info (base) by library.dynam(). 4) including loadable modules

I am a little confused about the relationship between library.dynam and dyn.load >From the documentation: library.dynam(chname, Load the specified file of compiled code if it has not been loaded already, or unloads it. Where chname is a character string naming a shared library to load. and dyn.load(x, local = TRUE, now = TRUE) Load or unload shared libraries, and test whether a C function

What compiler system is this? And what settings were used? We are not seeing such a problem on Solaris 10 (neither Sparc nor x86_64) with the Sun Studio 11 compilers they shipped with (a month or two ago). Note that the error message is not to do with subject line: it is launching R and /export/home/gordonp/Desktop/R-alpha/lib/libRlapack.so that has the problem. I don't think that

What library(help=foo) produces is not HTML and has no hyperlinks, so why do you want it displayed in a browser? If you do want text displayed in a browser, you can set options("pager") to point to your browser (or a wrapper). It is no different from other library() help modes, like library() with no argument, nor from help(package="foo"). Indeed, the help for help says

R 1.4.0 ?stars has scale: logical flag: if `TRUE', the columns of the data matrix are scaled independently so that the maximum value in each column is 1 and the minimum is 0. If `FALSE', the presumption is that the data have been scaled by some other algorithm to the range [0,1]. but the code has if (scale) { x <- sweep(x, 2,

Please do as we ask (repeatedly) and study the help page before posting. 'family' is a separate argument, not part of loess.control, as the help page correctly documents. If you use cars.lo2 <- loess(dist ~ speed, cars, family = "symmetric", control = loess.control(surface = "direct", iterations = 20)) cars.lo2$pars$iterations it prints *20*, as it is

Is there a way to query a package to see what dynamic shared libraries are loaded with it? The reason I ask is because during development, I want to unload libraries so that they can be reloaded without restarting R. I want to make it automatic so that you can just pass in the name of the package, and it will unload all the relevant shared libraries. Typically, the name of the shared library is

Dear Prof. Ripley, thks for your response and no, I have not looked at 2.0.0 beta version; blame on me, but I could not spare time by now for doing so; instead I looked at: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/fullrefman.pdf as well as on my local one in: 'rw1091/doc/manual/refman.pdf'. Hopefully this clarified things; thks for taking your time and patience. Best, Bernhard >

This is not a bug. There is no way one can scale the plot axes equally when no indication has been given of the scaling expected for either! It has always seemd to be that plot(x=1, y=1) shoul dnot work: it has not supplied enough information!

Filing the response on R-bugs. It's quite possible that uninstalling R will damage this, but I would have expected it to be removed entirely. -- Brian D.
