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

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,

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?

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:

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). We do a range of data analyses across product lifecycle (research, tech dev, clin dev, market access) to support the development of prognostic and

It might be my settings or improper use -- but if I use the "installWithVers=TRUE" flag for update.packages(), I don't seem to get updates; and if I use "install.packages(new.packages(),installWithVers=TRUE)", it seems to (re-)install identical versions of what I have. (this is with Rdevel from subversion from yesterday) best, -tony blindglobe at gmail.com Muttenz,

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

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

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.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has successfully linked R against the Condor libraries so that R can be run as a Condor job in the "standard" (not "vanilla") universe. The advantage of this would be that due to checkpointing, jobs can be suspended and transferred to another node. There is a good overview by Xianhong Xie here:

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

I've discussed this a little with Ian off list, but relating to: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Condor_Cloud Condor Cloud aims at setting up a bunch of Fedora nodes to act as a mini-cloud managed via the Condor grid infrastructure. So the natural question was... Why not use oVirt Node for this rather than a full Fedora OS install? Pulling condor-cloud and condor RPMs into the core

Hi all !!! I have got a MOSIX-Cluster and wanted to upgrade to ext3-fs, but that didn't work out. The ext3-fs patch FAILED to patch the MOSIX-kernel and if I tried to apply the ext3- patch before, the MOSIX-patch failed. Can someone help me with that ? Perhaps someone knows of a conclusion for that problem or can tell me where to get a MOSIX-patch for 2.4.15. I would be glad to hear from

Hi Everyone, I have group of R jobs that should be submitted to the condor when I submit the jobs to the condor, they don't run and when I checked the Sched Log files the jobs are exiting with status code 10. Previously, the jobs ran well on condor but now when I submit the jobs on condor they aren't running.Can anyone explain the meaning of this? Here is my submit file: # Submit file

Hello dear R-help group (and David Smith from REvolution), I would like to perform parallel computing using R with Condor (hopefully using foreach or other recommended solutions, if available) for some "Embarrassingly parallel" problem. I will start by listing what I found so far, and then go on asking for help. So far I found the a manual by Xianhong Xie from Rnews_2005-2 (see page

Mosix is a cluster operating system that is a set of kernel patches to Linux on i386 machines. It allows processes to migrate to other nodes on the cluster transparently. See www.mosix.org for details. However, my R processes were refusing to migrate. Using strace, and delving into the R code, I found that it was due to a large number of calls to the system setjmp and longjmp routines - the
