similar to: Building packages on Windows fails

I am comfortable with windows based R. But recently I had shifted to LINUX(Red Hat Linux Enterprise Guide 4) 1) I want to load J K Lindsey's repeated library in R. How to install the packge? 2) How to create the shared library if I ve the fortran codes(I haven't done creation of shared library in windows also). I had run the command Rcmd in bin directory but an error message "bash:

Running 'make check' I get two errors: running code in 'mva-Ex.R' .../usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: meet_ (code) from /users1/kleiweg/R-1.6.0-source/library/cluster/libs/cluster.sl running code in 'tcltk-Ex.R' .../usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: Tcl_EvalObjv (code) from /users1/kleiweg/R-1.6.0-source/library/tcltk/libs/tcltk.sl Version: platform =

I use as.vector() on a data frame and I get a data frame in return. No warning. I have to use as.matrix() first. Why is that? Doesn't make sense to me. I'm using R 1.2.0 on Linux. > F <- data.frame(a = c(1,2,3), b = c(4,5,6)) > F a b 1 1 4 2 2 5 3 3 6 > V <- as.vector(F) > V a b 1 1 4 2 2 5 3 3 6 > attributes(V)

If tbl is an object of class 'dist', you can do this: a <- sammon(tbl, k=3) But you can't do this: b <- isoMDS(tbl, k=3) Wouldn't it be sensible to have identical interfaces to sammon() and isoMDS() ? I think all that would be needed is to change this: isoMDS <- function(d, y=cmdscale(d, 2), maxit=50, trace=TRUE) { ...into this: isoMDS <-

I have a package with in the documentation: in \usage : \dots in \arguments: \ldots This is how I interpreted "Use \dots for the dots in function argument lists ..., and \ldots for ellipsis dots in ordinary text" in "Writing R Extensions". When I did `R CMD check' in R version 1.3.1 all was fine. With R version 1.4.0 I get : * checking for undocumented arguments

Again, CRAN and all of its mirrors are unreachable. My impression is this happens quite often.

The last line gets duplicated when a file is read like this: a <- scan(file=filename, what="", sep="\n", strip.white=c(TRUE), quiet=TRUE) (This error does not occur on Linux, the only other platform I tested.)

Has anyone succeeded in compiling R on HP-UX? I'm trying to compile R version 1.1.0 on a HP-UX 10.20 machine. I run into the following problems: I got a compile error on src/unix/X11/rbitmap.c which I solved by including setjmp.h. After that, and after editing the Makefiles a bit cause gcc en ld can't find all the libraries, I finally get it to compile. Then I run "make

I am running R version 1.7.1 on 3 different operating systems: Linux RedHat, Linux Slackware, and Windows 2000. R is ordering alpha-numeric character strings in different ways, dependent on the operating system. R orders strings exactly the same on Slackware and Windows, and this ordering corresponds to SPlus. It's the RedHat that is creating the problem. On Slackware, Windows, and SPlus:

I want to use a shortcut for copying figures to EPS. I defined this function in .Rprofile: ps <- function(file="Rplot.eps", width=7, height=7, ...) { dev.copy2eps(file=file, width=width, height=height, ...) } This doesn't work: > data(cars) > plot(cars) > ps() Error in device(...) : Object "width" not found Can anyone tell me

Could it be possible for packages to have manuals in multiple languages? I'm not saying all manuals should be in multiple languages, but I think there should be a mechanism for package writers to add manuals in multiple languages, if they think it useful. -- Peter Kleiweg

I am using the lattice packge for its levelplot and contourplot. Is it possible to adjust the line thickness of the 'box' and tickmarks in these plots? Thanks for the attention, Matt Sundling

I'm not sure this is a bug in R. Since a few weeks I have a new PC, SuSE 8.0 installed. When running demo(graphics) I get after a few graphs: Error in title(main = "January Pie Sales", cex.main = 1.8, font.main = 1) : X11 font at size 22 could not be loaded And the demo stops. This is in R 1.6.0. I get the same in R 1.5.1 on HP-UX, but using my PC as the X-server.

Suppose, I have a file "data1" containing: 450 390 467 654 30 542 334 432 421 357 497 493 550 549 467 575 578 342 446 547 534 495 979 479 I can read this file with: scan("data1") Read 24 items [1] 450 390 467 654 30 542 334 432 421 357 497 493 550 549 467 575 578 342 446 [20] 547 534 495 979 479

Hello useRs, I'm trying to use the Roxygen package. Here my code file : #' A packge to check Roxygen's sanity #' @name helloRoxygen-package #' @docType package NA And my R code to generate the package : library(roxygen) package.skeleton("helloRoxygen", code_files = "roxy.r", force = T) roxygenize("helloRoxygen", "helloRoxygen",

The definition for dev.copy2eps contains the following line: oc$paper <- "special" The result of this is that the output will be placed in the left bottom corner of the page. Even though dev.copy2eps is meant for creating files that are to be included into other documents, you might want to print the figure directly, just to see how it will look on paper. (Of course, this will

Anyone who is interested in using optimal colour palettes should look at the work of Cindy Brewer: www.colorbrewer.org I have written code to use her colour schemes in R. It is included below. Perhaps someone may find this interesting enough to work into a package. Included also is a function showpalette, which was posted here a while back. I don't remember who wrote it. I have copied all

I reported this earlier, and have got reports that others have the same promlem on UNIX machines, so it is not only a windows problem S I file a bug report. The function (boot.stat) given at the end produces a postscript file, which cannot be included correctly in LaTeX. Specifically, the image in LaTeX (when translated by dvips to postscript) becomes very small, not using the bounding box, and

I have a figure on screen with a legend. I want to copy this image to EPS, and use: dev.copy2eps(file="file1.eps", width=5, height=5) The legend that looks OK on screen doesn't look OK in the PostScript image: the text extends out of the box. I try adding a fontsize command: dev.copy2eps(file="file1.eps", width=5, height=5, pointsize=5) This options seems to
