similar to: Does the "installWithVers=TRUE" setting for the install.packages/update.packages flag updates?

R-devel, SVN revision 35729 (this morning, euro-time) So far, I'm having awful luck with the "installWithVers" flags. Recent example: I can install.packages("lattice", installWithVers=TRUE) successfully (no errors, at least it looks like a successful install), but can't load it: Error in library.dynam(pkg,pkg,lib) : shared library 'lattice_0.12-7' not found

Greetings! I have a few colleagues who like the idea of Sweave, but have failed to become enlightened monks of the One True Editor (http://www.dina.dk/~abraham/religion/) Are there any other Microsoft-centric editors or IDEs which have solid support for writing SWeave documents (dual R / LaTeX enhancements similar to ESS's support)? Has anyone tried the folding editors which support Noweb?

Well, nothing has changed in the issues that I brought up earlier, except that I can confirm core dumps in non-threaded lisps as well (CLISP), using svn version 37840 (this morning, Seattle time) for R-2-3-patches. I've not tried Thomas' suggested fixes, as I'm hesistant to go down the road of fixing R in such a way that would require constant patching. (so for those counting,

For those who suggest other ways to do this, I ALREADY HAVE ANOTHER DESIGN SOLUTION, DESCRIBED AT THE END. That being said, I want to know if it's possible to reference a slot in an S4 class from another slot, i.e. I'd like to have the "self.*" semantics of Python so that I can reuse a slot. That is, for various reasons it would be nice to be able to do something like:

I will say this first -- I can't copy/paste the error message from the screen, so it's being retyped. Errors might occur. SORRY. I've been experiencing some interesting stack warnings recently when moving from R 2.2.x to the R 2.3.0 series and the R 2.4.0 series. In particular, I'm getting warnings of "Error: C stack usage is too close to the limit" before

Dear all - My group at Novartis is looking for statisticians, bioinformaticians, or R programmers to support molecular diagnostics, with open positions in Cambridge MA, USA (priority) and in Basel Switzerland (possible).

Almost not at all, though there are a few holdouts. On a related note, I've been doing some interesting things with a branch of LispStat for CommonLisp. It'll be more interesting when

Greetings from Switzerland! Are there any plans/initiatives/considerations in future versions of R for commenting out regions via something like " /* */ "? (I've got an application for which something like that would be useful; if not, there are less simple solutions). best, -tony "Commit early,commit often, and commit in a repository from which we can easily roll-back

Hi, I am having trouble installing a previous version of a package, and multiple version of the package in R 2.12 or 2.15. I have download the tar.gz packages from the CRAN archive, and created an folder holding all the files. install.packages("changepoint_0.3.tar.gz", lib="~/Rtools/dir/of/pkgs/", repos=NULL, dependencies=FALSE,

The following becomes more and more a topic for an R mailing list, possibly R-devel. R for Windows crashes are important and should be discussed and debugged with the experts -- which are not reading ESS-help AFAIK.

I've been having problems building vignettes in bioconductor packages with R-devel. Turns out that Rdevel/share/texmf/hyperref.cfg wants Blue and Red predefined, when only blue and red are defined (as of rsync Rdevel, Sept 10th). This is on a Debian unstable system (Sept 9th version). Might not apply to all other tetex systems. Seems to have bitten the bioconductor build system, though.

I'm trying to update my Matrix package given the update last night. But the following error is generated. I've tried restarting R and deleting my old Matrix package.

Hi, is checking out R SVN trunk the recommended way to keep up to date with R-devel and check packages with the latest version? My objective is to be able to have both R and R-devel versions installed/working and up to date. R-devel binaries would be available as symlinks in my home directory so that I can do: Rdevel CMD check mypkg Rdscript -e "some R code" anywhere on my system.

I realize that others have struggled with this issue...i.e. http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/05/01/9826.html i am on os.x 10.4 w/ R2.2, and am (perhaps foolishly) also on this quest... i would like to be able to install downloaded source (tar.gz'd) files from within an R session, and have it work in a X-platform way..i am often not connected to the internet and have libraries
