Hi all, I'm an R newbie, I did this script to create a scatterplot using the "tree" matrix from "datasets" package: library('datasets') with(trees, { plot(Height, Volume, pch=3, xlab="Height", ylab="Volume") symbols(Height, Volume, circles=Girth/12, fg="grey", inches=FALSE, add=FALSE) } ) I'd like to use the column Named

Hi there I'm trying to configure R to get access to the internet. Using the Internet Explorer a proxy .pac script is used. Reading some older threads I found that I can use the --internet2 option. When choosing a mirror I get the error: "407 Proxy Authentication Required". This seems reasonable since I have to log in when using the IE as well. But where do I enter username and

I was trying to install R on a unix server. Because of a firewall i can't install biocLite for working with Bioconductor. With windows it wasn't a problem. I used the option '--internet2' to bypass the firewall. I don't have any idea, how to do it with unix. I tried to set my proxy >Sys.putenv("http_proxy"="http...:8080")

This reminds me of a question I've never asked yet: Is there a trick to make this work when a username authentication is required for using the proxy? I need a user name and a password to connect to the Internet, and so I get: > version _ platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch x86 os Win32 system x86, Win32 status major

Hello, I a proxy connection to the internet, so I renamed the file 'internet2.dll' to 'internet.dll' in the Module subdirectory as suggested in Changes. But I still get an error when trying to update packages: 'Rgui.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows' Any hint would be appreciated. I know this has been discussed before but I do not seem to find the

Hi all, my uni has recently switched to using a proxy (with password) for accessing Web pages outside the uni. I have since found that "update packages" etc no longer seem to work from R. I have tried to fix this problem in two ways:- 1) renaming internet2.dll to internet.dll in the "Modeules" folder and proceeding as usual. When I tried "update packages" from the

Hi all; I?m working with the latest version of R under Win2000. My internet connection (using a proxy) requires my username and password. In this situation I?m not able to update the packages from CRAN (unless I download and install them from a local drive). I tried looking at information on the list servers but I couldn?t figure out how to change 'environment variables' or something like

Hi, (please Cc me) In xyplot (), type = "l" (or one that includes "l", *el*) is (generally) meaningful only when the 'x' variable is sorted. In practice, one either sorts the data frame before hand or writes a tiny panel function which sorts the supplied x and then calls the default panel.xyplot(). Trouble arises when there is a conditional variable as well as a

gday R gurus, I've never attempted to use download.file before on my win2k machine but this version 1.4 looks exciting. However, I'm not getting something right. I've passed my R shortcut --internet2 and I can tell it's using the wininet calls because it's asking about authentication but how do I tell it my username/password? The help file only talks about user/pw for non

Hi I can't get R to connect to the internet. I am running R 1.7.1 on Windows XP and whenever I try to download packages etc from within R using the internet, it fails. OK so I am behind a firewall and use a proxy server.... SO, if I go to my MS-DOS prompt and type: RGui.exe --internet2 everything works.... BUT i can't set up a shortcut for this as Windows (I hate Windows) complains

[Not sure if such wishlist item should go to R-help or R-devel...] It would be nice if an option can be added to the R for Windows installer that will add the --internet2 option to the command line in the shortcut that gets created. Also, is it possible to make that an option that can be set at the R prompt, or perhaps even better, as the default no matter how/where R is started? For those of

I cannot access internet through R. My IT-guys told me that I should set the proxy and the port and then everything will be fine. Where can I set them? I use R 2.6.2 under Windows 2000 and these settings are those of the Internet Explorer (no password). I read http://cran.at.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#The-Internet-download-functions-fail_002e but staring R by "C:\Program

Could somebody please assist with the problem I have now. At our university certain changes have been made to users regarding accessing the internet. I have re-installed the (current) version of R, using custom settings (for Windows XP), choosing amongst other things "Internet2" somewhere. Now, when I wish to install new packages, I first have to select a CRAN mirror. R gives me a list

Hi Thanks again to Greg, and Prof Ripley. Greg, I was trying to send you an email, but has been unsuccessful. Speaking to someone from our IT deparment, I am trying to follow your advice to implement the settings to my computer (using Windows), by using Control Panel. I have selected System in Control Panel and chose System, Advanced tab, Environmental Variables, and created the user variables:

For errors with: download.file() install.package() update.package() any other command that R uses to access the internet Setting up a proxy in R 2.2.1 for windows. I work at a Central Bank so our firewall and proxy are very particular. To allow R to access the net I did the following: 1. In order for other programs, specifically STATA, to access the internet we use a program called Privoxy.

Dear R developers, when running R CMD check, the R Under development (unstable) (2015-01-13 r67453) gives me the following NOTE: cbind.fsets: possible error in list(...): ... used in a situation where it does not exist The file that causes this note contains: cbind.fsets <- function(..., deparse.level = 1) { dots <- list(...) res <- NULL resVars <- NULL resSpecs

Interestingly, i just posted to the list a similar SPEC file. look at the thread on CGI.pm. I've attached my spec file for "fakejava" as well. It was a lot of trial and error to make it work. None of the documentation I could find was for modern versions of RPM, and IIRC the documentation i did find for older versions was incorrect somehow. I think I had to specify a source
