similar to: DESCRIPTION and PACKAGES files.

Dear list, I'm wondering if the following error I'm getting is a small bug in the Reference Class paradigm or if it makes perfect sense. When you write an explicit initialize method for a Ref Class, can you then make use of '.self' WITHIN this initialize method just as you would once an object of the class has actually been initialized? Because it seems to me that you can not.

Hi Joe & Michael, In rev. 151382 you have changed the fptoui implementation of the x86 codegen for win32. Before the change fptoui was lowered to flds 16(%esp) fisttpll 8(%esp) movl 8(%esp), %eax After the change fptoui is lowered to flds 40(%esp) calll _ftol2 Please note that the assumption that _ftol2 doesn't modify ECX isn't true on sandybridge platform.

Am I correct in thinking that the ?SystemRequirements? field in a package DESCRIPTION file is purely descriptive, there are no standard elements that can be extracted by parsing it and used automatically? This field does not seem to be widely used, even for some obvious cases like backend database driver requirements, perl, perl modules, etc. It might help to have a list of possibilities. Some

Hi all, The write_PACKAGES function has a 'fields' argument that allows a user generating a PACKAGES file to specify additional fields to include. For symmetry, it would be nice for the available.packages function to be able to read those extra fields when specified. Similarly, it would be useful for installed.packages to have a 'fields' argument. This would allow a user to

I realize that others have struggled with this issue...i.e. http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/05/01/9826.html i am on os.x 10.4 w/ R2.2, and am (perhaps foolishly) also on this quest... i would like to be able to install downloaded source (tar.gz'd) files from within an R session, and have it work in a X-platform way..i am often not connected to the internet and have libraries

I am trying to submit a package on CRAN, and everything passes ok on all platforms but Debian, where CRAN responds with an automatic "significant" warning: * checking whether package ?QCA? can be installed ...

Hi, This commit (I?m using the mirror to have a working link) broke C++11 compilation. Before (and still now, according to the comments in the configure script), it?s sufficient to just have ?SystemRequirements: C++11? in the DESCRIPTION file. But now ?R CMD install? fails with ?C++11 standard requested but CXX11 is not defined?, which is, according to the documentation , a lie. I can?t

Hi all, Does anybody know the easiest way to import excel data into R? I copied and pasted the excel data into a txt file, and tried read.table, but R reported that Error in read.table("data_support.txt", sep = " ", header = T) : more columns than column names Thanks! Ling

Folks: Suppose I wish to input a text file with variable length lines and possible whitespace as is and then parse the resulting character vector in R. Each line of text is terminated with "\n" (newline character). Is there any reason to prefer one or the other of: scan (filename, what ="a",sep ="\n") ##or readLines(filename) If it makes a difference, I'm on

Hi, I noticed recently when installing the GDD package for R under GNU/Linux that it required the gd library (http://libgd.org/) for generating graphics. The resolution of this was to simply install the library on my system, and then GDD successfully installed without any complaints. However, the variant of GNU/Linux that I use is Gentoo, so I filed a bug requesting that a USE flag be set for

I have written an R package which contains C source code (in the directory pkg/src). Only a subset of the functions in the pkg/R directory contain a .C() call to the functions in the pkg/src directory. The rest of the package will still work and be useful without the functions containing a .C() call. To compile the code in pkg/src requires the GSL library. This is detailed in the

I want rsync to do this: Backup all files under ~/, except in some cases. When rsync gets to ~/News, which has an extensive, fluctuating and deep heirarchy of directories under it. An example might be: News/agent/nntp/news.gmane.org/gmane/comp/lang/perl/beginners/ I want to skip any files that have all numbers for names which would be under the last directory above. However there are at

Full_Name: Matthias Piksa Version: 1.4.1 OS: Redhat 7.1 2.96-85 Submission from: (NULL) (131.220.6.43) There is a bug when retrieving values out of MySQL (3.23.36) which are of type UNSIGNED INTEGER(10).

I finally got all of the 3DNow! instruction intrinsics and builtins into LLVM and Clang, however, while testing them, I've noticed that they produce incorrect results. For example: typedef float V2f __attribute__((vector_size(8))); int main() { V2f dest, a = {1.0, 3.0}, b = {10.0, 3.5}; dest = __builtin_ia32_pfadd(a, b); printf("(%f, %f)\n", dest[0], dest[1]); } Should

hi. i'm working on a package which only works if one (or both) of two libraries (Imlib2 and MagickWand) exist on the machine on which the package is compiled and executed. as currently written, the program purposely generates an error at *compile* time if neither library is available (thinking the earlier the user is notified, the less frustrating). is there a way of specifying this

Hi, I would also be in favor of a stronger stance on licenses. In industry, where we can really get in big trouble for violating a license, we often maintain internal repositories, or need to be careful about filtering what is used from CRAN. I think that is should really be a requirement the package authors commit to stating what the restrictions are on their packages. Nicholas On 10

Greetings: I'm going to encourage some students to try Bayesian ideas for hierarchical models. I want to run the WinBUGS and R examples in Tony Lancaster's An Introduction to Modern Bayesian Econometrics. That features MS Windows and "bugs" from R2WinBUGS. Today, I want to ask how people are doing this in Linux? I have found a plethora of possibilities, some of which are not
