similar to: can't build packages anymore...

I've upgraded laptops and have put a new version of R on the new machine as well as the tools for building packages. I know R has required a "non-broken" version of tar for some time now and was hoping to not have to install any cygwin tools. Since building packages requires the use of MinGW and MSYS, why can't we simply use the tar that's part of msys? After looking at

I'm adding a couple of vignettes to an existing package. When I make a change to the sweave file, and run the check command, c:\conifers\trunk>R CMD check rconifers I get the following message(s) in the 00check.log file: * checking for unstated dependencies in vignettes ... OK * checking package vignettes in 'inst/doc' ... WARNING Package vignette(s) without corresponding PDF:

I'm trying to update a package and would like to crush a WARNING message for a clean build. I've been struggling with this question and haven't gotten any traction on the web either. I've got a document file (Rd) that contains the following \usage statement: \name{sample.data} \alias{sample.data} \title{CONIFERS forest growth model sample data} \description{ A list object of

R gurus: I'm trying to get another round of rconifers out and I need some advice/help crushing differences in the examples test. I'm trying to make sure the max sdi values are being respected. I've added a tests/rconifers-Ex.Rout.save (from windows i386-pc-mingw32) and when I ran R CMD check (both R-2.13.0), I got the following results: * using log directory

I'm in the middle of a long overdue package update, and after seeing the CRAN Task Views I thought there would be an entry, in the DESCRIPTIONS file, for that entry that appears on the package webpage. For example, http://cran.case.edu/web/packages/vegan/index.html Since it's been some time since I've updated the package, I did a little reading (R-exts.pdf) and web searching and

I've been trying to get R+PostgreSQL+PL/R to work together on a OSX machine without the Framework and CoreFoundation options and have noticed some suspicious switches when compiling packages. I've installed R (on OSX) with the following ./configure: ./configure \ CC="gcc -arch i386" \ CXX="g++ -arch i386" \ OBJC="gcc -arch i386" \

I've been attempting to create a new R package and recently removed the cygwin installation from my machine since R requires the use of the MingW tools for building an R package with C code. However, when I tried to build a source package, I found the following results: * removing junk files * building 'Rconifers_0.7-1.tar.gz' tar:

After trying to find if there was a color picker in the FAQs and the help, I thought I would send a post here. I was overwhelmed with all the wonderful color choices R has predefined (discovered after typing in colors()) but can't figure out what they all (by name) look like. Is there a color picker or some other method to display all those colors next to the name? I think I can put together

When I tried to read all the entries (after searching the FAQ) for "row names xtable", I get START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY * R FAQ: (R-FAQ). The R statistical system ... ... xtable* Export data to LaTeX and HTML tables. ... For dropping the row names of a matrix `x', it may be easier to use `rownames(x) <- NULL', similarly for column ...

I've been trying to figure out why the following is happening.... I've got some data I'll load in from a file... rm(list=ls(all=TRUE)) trees <- read.table( "c:/cruisepak/data.txt", header=T) trees$ct <- 1 And when I create some temp variable, then split the data to perform further processing, the additional column doesn't maintain the data correctly.... mtrees

R gurus: I'm thinking about using R for website traffic analysis but didn't find anything in my web searches specific to R. If I have the webpages (simple example would contain something like three (3) static pages with a couple of links each) and parse the apache access log file (httpd-access.log), then I can populate the graph representing the website and perform whatever analysis I

I've got a newbie question and I got a little lost in the "table helps". I've got a data.frame I would like to summarize as a (and pardon for the lack of correct vernacular) data collection matrix. My data looks like, stand siteindex age acres pct.acres 1 232 116 45 8477.3105 0.56159458 2 234 121 25 11120.1530 0.73667441 3 235 132 25

I've been trying to plot the predicted values, as a line, over the data for a simple nonlinear fit with the following commands: plot( hg ~ ht ) ... define some function hg ~ ht + junk ... ... blah, blah, obtain parameter estimates and predicted values, blah... ... then... lines( sort( $predicted ) ~ sort( ht ) ) which results in a line that isn't smooth (which I knew would happen).

I've been working on a LaTeX document that contains Sweave code and cannot get MikTeX to find the Sweave.sty file. I've added the c:\rw1081\share\texmf path in the MikTeX roots (I've ven added the path in the environment variables ) but to no avail. Is there a trick to getting Sweave installed correctly when using MikTeX on Windows XP? Do I need to move/copy the Sweave.sty file to the

I've got a package I would like to send out for testing and have noticed a "problem" with the \tabular portion of the help "compiler" the code for inserting vertical lines, in the tabular environment, causes the build to choke, but not the check command. C:\>rcmd build --binary -docs=all nlsystemfit \tabular{|l|c|c|c|}{ \hline Method \tab Instruments \tab

I've been trying to figure out how to prevent a column that is the result of an aggregate function call so that I can use it in further calculations. For example, I would like to aggregate the expf for the data.frame by sp (character) and dbh (double d=rounded to integer) using the command: > st2 <- aggregate( ntrs$expf, by=list(sp=ntrs$sp,dbh=ntrs$dbh), sum ) > st2$expf <- st2$x

I've been trying to figure out how to accomplish the following... I've got a list (returned from a function) and I would like to "cbind()" the lists together to create a "cross tab" report or simply bind them together somehow the function returns a list that looks like the following: > all$BM $species [1] "BM" $vbar.nobs [1] 3 $vbar.sum [1] 54.05435

I've been trying to create a shlib file (using mingw instead of the cygwin -- after reconfiguring my machine, yet again) and I'm getting the following behaviour that I think is incorrect: When using rcmd shlib and explicitly listing the files to include in the build such as: C:\Sequential\Code>rcmd shlib --output=optflikam flikam.c as47.f as154.f as197.f making corrAdaptiveSim.d from
