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

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

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.

Another example: Jerry Friedman's MART is available in R from Salford for the same price as the stand-alone TreeNet, even though they don't advertise it on their web site.

Hello all, Sorry for this email not directly related to R developement. I just come from a nice demonstration session from Scitegic about their Pipeline Pilot (PP) software, and especially their 'R collection' which brings R calculations into the software (http://www.scitegic.com/documents/RStats_Collection.pdf). I looked carefully on the way they do it: they pass data from PP to R

At JSM, I spent a bit of time with old friends at the Cytel booth (makers of StatXact/LogXact). They were wondering whether it was both feasible and of interest to create a package of the StatXact compute engine for R (to be commercially licensed, not for free!), similar to what they've done for SAS. As far as I know, it's feasible, (this is not the first commercial external package,

Hi We have been cross-compiling windows packages under Linux using the excellent Makefile and instructions by Tony Rossini and Jun Yan. Specifically we have been cross-compiling c++ code and it used to work. Now the minGW tools located at www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools have changed from version 4 to version 5, and our cross-compiling have stopped working. Inspecting the tarball we are
