Hi, I'm trying to remove/delete a directory usingR. I've tried the following with no success: % Rterm --vanilla > getwd() [1] "C:/Documents and Settings/hb/braju.com.R/aroma.affymetrix/test" > dir.create("foo") > file.info("foo") size isdir mode mtime ctime atime foo 0 TRUE 777 2007-02-28 14:52:10

Hi, I've just downloaded the latest R v2.5.0 alpha (2007-04-04 r41043) for WinXP. When I try to install a package R tries to install it to a no-name (empty name) directory (causing error downstream): RCMD INSTALL R.oo installing to '' FYI: Package install perfectly on R v2.4.1 patched, and did so also on earlier R v2.5.0 devel/alpha(?) versions. Current directory is: C:\tmp with

Hi, on Windows XP Pro with R version 2.7.1 Patched (2008-06-27 r46012) the 'Cairo' and the 'EBImage' packages does not play well together. Loading EBImage before Cairo cause the following to happen: # Rterm --vanilla > library(EBImage); > library(Cairo) Error in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...) : unable to load shared library

Hi, FYI, I just notice that on Windows (but not Linux) it is orders of magnitude (below it's 50x) faster to serialize() and object to a temporary file and then read it back, than to serialize to an object directly. This has for instance impact on how fast digest::digest() can provide a checksum. Example: x <- 1:1e7; t1 <- system.time(raw1 <- serialize(x, connection=NULL));

Hi, I have a writable and readable file on a small network file system (Cisco NSLU2 Unslung; non-NTFS) that I access via a mounted drive on Windows Vista. My problem could be due to a "funny" file system/server, but here it goes: > pathname <- "Q:/foo.txt" > cat(file=pathname, "Hello world!\n") > readLines(pathname) [1] "Hello world!" >

Having loaded R for windows, I cannot run fnctions that aren't in the base folder. Typing searchpaths() tells me that only the base folder is in the search path. How can the path be modified to include other folders? Thanks, Ely rabin at brandeis.edu -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read

Hi, does someone else get this error message: Error in function (env) : could not find function "finalize"? I get an error when running examples in R CMD check (v2.6.0; session info below): > ### * invertMap > > flush(stderr()); flush(stdout()) > ### Name: invertMap > ### Title: Inverts a read or a write map > ### Aliases: invertMap > ### Keywords: file IO

The function "substitute" seems to fail to make a genuine substitution, although the printed verision seems fine. Here is an example. > m <- substitute(Y <- function(x) FUN(x+1), + list(Y = as.name("y"), FUN = as.name("sin"))) > m y <- function(x) sin(x + 1) > eval(m) > y function(x) FUN(x+1) However the story doesn't end there.

Hi all, While dat['a1',] and dat['a10',] produce the same results in the following example, I'd like dat['a1',] to return NAs. dat <- data.frame(x1 = paste(letters[1:5],10, sep=''), x2=rnorm(5)) rownames(dat) <- dat$x1 dat['a1',] dat['a10',] > sessionInfo() R version 2.7.2 (2008-08-25) i386-pc-mingw32 locale:

Dear List, I have a problem connecting to a CRAN mirror through a networked computer running Vista Enterprise on a Dell PC. I added http_proxy=http://gannet/ http_proxy_user=ask to the Target in the R shortcut, completed the username and password in the Proxy Authentication window, but get the following warning: Warning message: In open.connection(con, "r") : unable to resolve

Hi All, Another newbie question. I want to write an R script that takes argument from command line and runs and produces output to stdin. For example if there is file foo.R with following in it. args = commandArgs() print(args) then, when I run it like $ R foo.R hello it should print 'hello' on the terminal. I searched the mainling list and found a very old post that said said that

Doing help("R_LIBS") brings up a help file (the same one as help(library)), but the help file doesn't mention R_LIBS. It does have a link to .libPaths, which does document R_LIBS. The quickest fix would be for help("R_LIBS") to bring up the .libPaths help file. --please do not edit the information below-- Version: platform = i386-pc-mingw32 arch = i386 os = mingw32

Hi, I wonder whether a package with namespace & dynamic library can be installed with the version number attached, ie. with the argument --with-package-versions. Is this currently possible? Using R 1.9.1 on Debian 3.0 I encounter a problem when trying to load a package installed with R91 CMD INSTALL --with-package-versions -l /mnt/local/R/R-1.9.x-libs-EpiR RIO in R started with R91

May I use "searchpaths()" with arguments partially matching file names that are found in different directories ? My question is whether this is th R function equivalent of Linux "find" or Windows "search". Both O.S. calls are given a starting point so that they search all diectories from then downwards looking for files whose names match the searching criteria.

I asked the maintainer and he indicated that it might be a dll problem. Has anyone see this problem? I had installed the latest copy of tkrplot.
