Hi, I am working with -poLCA- which uses the package -scatterplot3d- in order to work. However, I work on a restricted server that is not online. The R-version installed there is 2.6. However, running library(poLCA) after installing the most recent -scatterplot3d- on the server leaves me with R telling me that scatterplot3d needs R-version 2.7 or a more recent versions. Since I cannot install the

Hi, I am having a problem building binary packages for Windows recently. Normally, I use the "Murdoch-Sutherland" tool set, http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/ just build source packages by R CMD build <pkgname> and install these with R CMD INSTALL <pkgname> But now, for someone without having this tool set installed, under Win XP, with R-2.10dev

Hello there, since I installed CentOS6 few months ago (kept up-to-date using yum), I'm facing very poor performances when writing to USB pendrives. The hardware: a Dell Latitude E6500 laptop (Intel Core Duo P8600 @2.40Ghz), 4Go RAM + 4Go swap, several USB2 pendrives of various brands (less than old, all formatted as vfat). When I perform a copy (with cp or midnight commander, copying big

I have a zip file. It is over 2Gb in size: -rw-r--r-- 1 sweh sweh 2383956582 Mar 13 13:44 test.zip The standard "unzip" program barfs: % unzip -l test.zip Archive: test.zip End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment

Recently I tried to install a package in R version 1.8.1 for Windows. First I un".tar.gz"ed it and ".zip"ed it back in to be able to use the option Install package(s) from local zip files... Unfortunately tis error message appeared: Error in unpackPkg(pkgs[i], pkgnames[i], lib, installWithVers) : Malformed bundle DESCRIPTION file, no Contains field It's

After entering ?library(rpart)?, I tried to plot an existing rpart tree, and got this error message: Error: couldn't find function "plot.rpart". However, ??plot.rpart? does bring up the help for the function. The same things occur for text.rpart, although print(my.tree) does work. So, I tried to re-install rpart using Packages | Install from CRAN, but then I get this

Looks like Firefox may be getting another update soon, if my problem is not atypical. Prior to the latest, had NP for *months*. Anyone else seeing any problems? BTW, running the recent Java console from sun that was detailed in another thread a week or two back with Firefox. Had NP prior to the latest update, if that offers any useful info. Would like to test the openjdk for us if it's

I use ControlMaster auto (along with ControlPath) in my ssh config and find it very handy. I have noticed an annoying behavior, though: it seems that if there is no existing master connection and ssh creates a new one, the master connection process that is started has its stderr left open. This has manifested itself in two ways so far: (1) When using ssh day-to-day, I may be doing some work and

Dear All, Currently, I am translating Matlab code to R.

In order to experiment with the theora encoder, I bought a mini-DV camcorder a couple of weeks ago; a Panasonic PV-GS9 for $250. I wanted a mini-DV because it is claimed that capturing video from the camcorder to a computer over a firewire cable results in an exact copy of the recorded video. That was not my experience. The video I captured to my computer over the firewire cable, using both
