I'm trying to compile R 2.0.0 on windows using cygwin. The program itself compiled fine (I added -mno-cygwin to compilation/linkage rules so that mingw runtime is used), but the build process fails to make packages. Here are the error messages: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- making bootstrap versions of packages ... ... done writing help

Hi, Has anyone had success in building R source with Visual Studio? I followed the instructions in README.packages, but failed on the very first step, where it's looking for R.dll. I looked through R source and couldn't find the file. Can someone point me to where this file is located or generated? Thanks! Sincerely, Jennifer

Dear R-devel On my Windows 2000 machine, I can build R-patched but not R-devel (since at least 1/9/2004). An error message pops up during the execution of some R code during "make", as below. In terms of "make" etc., I am totally clueless (not being a user of either Linux or C) and just mechanically follow the instructions in the R documentation; hence I've got no idea

Hi, I built R with Portland Group compiler, but I noticed one thing that when I ran configure for the first time on AMD machine, I got the following error: checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs. If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'. See `config.log' for more details. so I tried to set host=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu,

Hello, I am using EC2 to launch several instances. On each instance, I perform the following commands yum -y install R (installs R-2.6) R CMD javareconf sleep 10 wget rpackage.tgz R CMD INSTALL rpackage.tgz Now, rpackage.tgz needs to be built with jni libraries. When the instance is fully up, i log in and check if rpackage was successfully installed and find out it wasn't. Running R CMD

Hi everyone, I’m a Windows XP user. I’m trying to install R-2.1.1 from source, and it doesn’t work. Here’s what I have done: * Got the source code from CRAN : R-2.1.1.tar.gz * Ran ‘tar zxvf R-2.1.1.tar.gz’ in a CMD terminal window. Everything worked fine. I got my R-2.1.1 folder in C:/Rsource. * I got the iconv.dll file downloaded and unzipped it in

Dear R-devel, [I'm not sure if this is appropriate for R-devel. If not, I'm more than happy to move it to R-help.] As those of you who saw my post on R-help know, I've been trying to build R-patched on a dual Opteron box running Scyld Beowulf, using the PGI 6.1 compilers. The build went fine, but I couldn't get it to pass make check-all. Jennifer Lai, who reported success with

Dear all, I have been building R packages under windows on my old pc, successfully. Now I have bought a new pc, still running windows, and I am trying to build the same R packages as before, but now without the same success. I have installed the Rtools, perl, mingw and added them to the environment variables. I am running Windows XP Professional on a Thinkpad T60. I have installed R-2.4.1,

Hi, I have built R (current development version) and BioConductor 1.7 with portland group compiler on a AMD Opteron. When I ran qc assessment on Affymetrix latin square data set, I got the following output, Loading required package: affy Loading required package: Biobase Loading required package: tools Welcome to Bioconductor Vignettes contain introductory material.

Dear all, When running function 'testQAReport()', which uses function 'buildVignettes()' to create a pdf-file I get the following error: > source("testQAReport.R") > testQAReport() Error in .get_package_metadata(pkgdir) : Files 'DESCRIPTION' and 'DESCRIPTION.in' are missing. Since I did not get this error in earlier versions of R, could you

Dear R-help, I am trying to build R-2.2.0-patched (2005-11-07 r36217) on the head node of a Scyld cluster (dual Opteron 250s) using PGI compilers (v6.0). I used the flags suggested by Jennifer Lai on R-devel (taken from R-admin, except that I had to add -L/usr/X11R6/lib64 to LDFLAGS). The build went fine, but make check-all failed when running tests/Examples/graphics-Ex.R, at: > plot(1:2,

Hi, Has anyone had any luck in using portland group compiler to build R(-devel) with AMD's pgi compiled ACML library? I've downloaded the packages and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and run configuration script as follow: % ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/R.pgcc --with-blas='-lacml' However, it failed to pick up double complex BLAS, checking for sgemm_ in -lacml... yes checking

Hi, Is nchar function knowingly slow in R? I'm doing some string formatting that requires multiple call to nchar, and nchar seems to be very slow. Experiment 1, pass nchar inside sprintf, and it takes 0.7 seconds > system.time(for (i in 1:10000) + str = sprintf('0005%020d', nchar(op)) + )[3] [1] 0.7 Experiment 2, get the length of op separately using nchar, and then pass

Lately I've been doing some work with the manipulateWidget package, which lives on Github at https://github.com/rte-antares-rpackage/manipulateWidget/. Last week I found a bug, so being a good community member, I put together a patch. Since the package lives on Github, I followed instructions to put together a "pull request": - I forked the main branch to my own Github account

== Summary == * Problem: BibTeX entries extracted from R packages via citation() require too much manual editing to be of general use. * Proposal: Date: fields should be made mandatory in package DESCRIPTION files, perhaps beginning with warnings from R CMD check * Proposal: Package authors should be encouraged to use a (new) Contributors: field in the DESCRIPTION file rather than packing all

Dear all, On Windows XP with R 2.8.0, I get the error message below when I try install a package from the command line. (Installing as a local zip-file from the menu in the GUI works fine.) Could anybody point me towards the source (and solution) to the problem? Regards Søren --------------------------------------------------------------------------- C:\Dokumenter\Stat\RLSdevel>rcmd
