I have some questions about 1. nomenclature, 2. recommended file locations and 3. overall procedure related to creating packages. To the extent that it matters, examples here relate to Windows XP R 2.0.1 beta. The questions are interspersed and prefaced with ***. My understanding is that there are actually 6 forms of a package that one should use in package development: 1.

On page 11 of the Extensions manual it says that "R CMD build will automatically create PDF versions of the vignettes for distribution" however, I have not been successful on Windows 2.0.1 beta. I tried creating a simple package by entering the code in the ?package.skeleton example then adding the Rnw file from the utils package to AnExample\inst\doc but when I ran R CMD build it

Hi, if we have a file called Rscript.R that contains the following, for example: x <- 1:100 outfile = "Rscript.Rout" sink(outfile) print(x) and then we run >> source("Rscript.R") we get an output file called Rscript.Rout - great! Is there an internal variable, something like .Platform, that holds the script name when it is being executed? I would like to use

Dear All, The recent improvement in RODBC to recognize datetimes in tables has exposed my ongoing confusion. All my data are obtained from a satellite system (Argos) which tags events in the GMT time zone. Daylight saving is ignored. To my way of thinking this means that 1. twelve-o-clock means halfway through the day regardless of season, and 2. the difftime of any two dates where

Until recently R 2.1.0 was called rw2010dev. I just visited http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rdevel.html and noticed its now called rw2010alpha, not rw2010dev. I would like to use it without downloading all the libraries over again. Can I - just rename my rw2010dev folder (Windows XP) to rw2010alpha and then install rw2010alpha to that? or - install it in a separate

With rw2010dev I get a strange protect(): protection stack overflow error with a small data frame which otherwise is usable: If anybody wants to have a look I can provide an RData file with the problematic data frame. Doesn't seem to be necessary, the following simulated example generates the error: > testmat <- matrix(1:80, 20,4) > dim(testmat) [1] 20 4 > str(testmat) int

Dear @ll Friends, After trying to install some libraries such as fSeries, I receive this error: Fehler: unable to create temp directory 'C:/Programme/R/rw2010pat/library\file12763' Also after trying to install other packages ,I receive similar errors, for example, installation of tseries: Fehler: unable to create temp directory 'C:/Programme/R/rw2010pat/library\file30539' ...

Hi all, I'm seeing an error on Windows when I try to install a package to a package library path that starts with a digit. I can reproduce the error as follows using R-devel from Feb 24 on Windows advanced server: badLib = "c:\\badExample\\2\\foo" dir.create(badLib, recursive=TRUE) z = .libPaths() z = .libPaths(c(badLib, z)) z [1] "c:\\badExample\\2\\foo"

Full_Name: Martin Posch Version: 2.1.0 and 2.1.0 patched OS: Windows XP SP2 Submission from: (NULL) (131.130.1.135) When installing the Hmisc package using the install option in the RGUI I get the error message under both R 2.1.0 and R 2.1.0 patched (see the outputs below). I tried the install after a fresh reboot (to minimize the possibility of locked up files). The same problem arises with

Dear Uwe Ligges, There was really a problem with an irregular name of a help topic (%cin% - the % was the problem) as you said. With the new R Version and with the corrected Rd file all works fine. Thanks a lot for your help! Matthias > TEMPL Matthias wrote: > > > Hello, > > > > When building my package (R CMD check) following error > message occurs: > > ...

****************************** Could you perhaps describe exactly what "can't compile" means, please? It's hard to know what you've tried without a little more information. ****************************** 1). I type these command: f <- function(x,y) x+y g <- function(x,y) x-y d <- data.frame(a=1,b=2) e <- rnorm(1000)

In the process of learning R, with a specific interest on financial time series. While I continue to get through the documents I am more a fan of learning by example and then looking up how each function is used. Any websites which post sample code for R? Thanks in advance. -- Jonathan jqm475 at gmail.com

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
