similar to: Problems compiling C code on windows

This summer I and a colleague built a package for R v 1.9.1 containing C-code under Windows. That only worked for us when R was installed in c:\program files\R. Now I have R v 2.0.1 and the same package won't build. I get the following C:\Program Files\R\rw2001\bin>rcmd check "c:\program files\r\rw2001\src\library\ sag" * checking for working latex ...latex: not found NO * using

In reference to the thread http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/devel/04/10/0859.html I have the same problem updating packages with newly-installed version of released version of R 2.0.1. Previous posts refer to a bug in windows. I wonder if there is a work-around? This probably should go to R-help but it follows on from the post in R-devel. Apologies in advance. OS: Windows XP Professional,

When I do a R CMD build --binary then I get the messages at the end of this post unless I specify LazyLoad: no in the DESCRIPRION file. If I do that then everything proceeds smoothly. R CMD check proceeds smoothly in either case. Is there something I should be aware of that is causing this message when I do not turn off lazy loading? I am using Windows XP and R 2.0.1 beta

I rarely use Windows, so perhaps this is a question for r-help but I don't think so. > install.packages("dse") trying URL `http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.0/PACKAGES' Content type `text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1' length 24873 bytes opened URL downloaded 24Kb trying URL `http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.0/dse_2005.1-1.zip' Content

Hi folks, I've noticed that there's an issue with the recursive creation of directories that reside on network shares. For example: > dir.create('\\\\SERVERNAME\\Empl\\Home1\\active\\e\\ecortens\\thisisatest', recursive = TRUE) Warning message: In dir.create("\\\\SERVERNAME\\Empl\\Home1\\active\\e\\ecortens\\thisisatest", : cannot create dir

Hello, I have a number of Excel .xlsx files that aren't indexed properly. To illustrate, I have a file called "this is a test.xlsx". It consists of four cells: | this | | is | | a | | test | It gets indexed but I am unable to search for it. I was able to determine the index number and use delve to see the term list: #delve users -r 16496 Term List for record #16496:

Sorry to ask a (probably) dumb question, but I am trying to install XML package on Windows XP, R 2.0.1, and I get the error: "This application has failed to start because libxml2.dll was not found.

Hello, I'm trying to create a source package (on Win2k system). I followed the instructions from R-extns.pdf, installed ActivePerl and RTools with setting the DOS path to it. Then I did "Rcmd check" and had an error: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ C:\R\rw2001\bin>Rcmd check D:/prime7/SpnInstall/spectrino * checking for working latex ...latex: not found NO * using log directory

Hello all: I have written a few R scripts and am trying to turn them into a package for submission to CRAN. All of these scripts are R code only, no C or C++ or anything else. I'm working with R 2.0.1 running on a Windows XP machine. So far running ">rcmd install --build --docs=normal mypkge" seems to work (i.e., the library "mypkge" is installed in R\rw2001\library and

Hiya, I have read the FAQ for windows and read point 2.10. I setup a dos batch file which contains the following line: C:\progra~1\R\rw2001\bin\Rterm.exe --vanilla I then tried: R CMD BATCH --argument myscript.R result.out then it started R. I thought by running R CMD BATCH executes R non-interactively. I am working on a Windows XP. I tried it on a Mac OSX and that worked fine. So I'm not

Hi, Please excuse these questions if they're obvious. I'm new to R. I need to access a Postgres db from R. I'm currently trying RODBC as I spend part of my time on Windows and rdbi.pgsql seems not to support windows at this time.

Hi, I recently encountered a similar problem to http://www.mail-archive.com/r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch/msg31960.html One conclusion from that thread seems to be that if XP users need to update the index, after installing a package, they have to install R into a directory for which they have got write access, either a network or local drive. This is in order to update the files 'C:Program

Hi. Day three and I’m still struggling with this. Any advice to overcome the final hurdle will be enormously appreciated. I now have all the right Java applications etc. in their right places and have managed to get rid of most errors but still get this: — Making package SJava — Building JNI header files... adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION running src/Makefile.win (cd .. ;

Somehow I have lost the correct file association for .RData files. They are now associated with a text file editor. When I right click on any .RData file and try to change the association, R is not listed as a choice of program. I browse to c:\Program Files\R\rw2001\bin\Rgui.exe and select that file to open .RData, but Windows does not then place Rgui.exe in the list of programs to use. I can

Hello, I'm trying to fetch a data frame through the C API, and have no problem doing this when all columns are numbers, but when there is a column of strings I have a problem. On the C-side the function looks like: SEXP myfunc(SEXP df), and it is called with a dataframe from the R side with: .Call("myfunc", somedataframe) On the C side (actually C++ side) I use code like this:

hello, We've got a problem with the mix package in order to impute the missing data. After importing the data, the prelim function does not work (only the stlouis data works).

I am not a techie and have been struggling 2 days solid to try and install SJava (the source from http://www.omegahat.org/RSJava/). Does anybody have a binary file for me (I am Windows XP and rw2001)? I have tried installing Perl, mingwin and the cygwin tools but still no luck. When I try “R CMD INSTALL c:\SJava_0.78-0.tar.gz” I get the following (and haven’t a clue what it could mean):
