I am building a package say mypkg. Five months ago, when I built the package I got the mypkg manual in pdf format. Today, after making updates, I build the same package, same name, and steps; unfortunately I do not get the manual in pdf format. Rather I get the following message: cd: can't cd to /cygdrive/c/Documents saving output to 'mypkg-manual.pdf' ...Done Could any one

I noticed that in "R version 2.4.0 alpha (2006-09-16 r39365)" on Windows XP that I get this error: C:\Rpkgs>Rcmd install mypkg no Perl script 'install' The same command worked with no error in 2.3.1pat. If I capitalize INSTALL it does work; however, this was not necessary previously. Note that C:\Rpkgs>Rcmd check mypkg unlike install, still works in either lower or

Hi, I am getting an error when I am trying to build a library in R for windows . I am using R 2.7.0 in windows. I am following the instructions listed in the R Help for package creation. require(stats) ## two functions and two "data sets" : f <- function(x,y) x+y g <- function(x,y) x-y d <- data.frame(a=1, b=2) e <- rnorm(1000)

Dear all, The package "affy" has the following statement in file "AffyBatch.R": if (debug.affy123) cat("-->initAffyBatch\n") This is great and I would also like to use it. However, when I run my package I get the following error: Error in .local(object, ...) : object "debug.mypkg" not found Since I am not able to find the position where

I find it a bit peculiar that a package skeleton created with a utils function package.skeleton() fails subsequent R CMD check. I do understand that the function is intended to produce only a skeleton that should be edited by the package author. I think that it would be justified to say that the skeleton *should* fail the test. However, I have two arguments against intentional failure: * When you

I'm having a very hard time making R CMD check produce a clean check on examples because of the timings inserted into examples by R CMD check. I am getting a difference on every example output caused by timing information being inserted by 'R CMD check'. The current 'Writing R Extensions' manual[1] states on p. 14: If directory tests has a subdirectory Examples

Hi, I added a new function "predict.systemfit" to our package "systemfit" to make it closer to other packages (e.g. lm). Now "R CMD check" complains that the generic function "predict" has only the argument "object", while our function "predict.systemfit" has more arguments. However, the function "predict.lm" has also more

Hello I will be applying MDS (actually Isomap) to make a psychological "concept map" of the similarities between N concepts. I would like to scale to a large number of concepts, however, the resulting N*(N-1) pairwise similarities is prohibitive for a user survey. I'm thinking of giving people random subsets of the pairwise similarities. Does anyone have recommendations for this

Hi there, I was wondering why I get the following error message: * checking package dependencies ... ERROR Packages required but not available: Rmpi when I run 'R CMD check' on a package that _suggests_ Rmpi? Why isn't it OK to not have all the suggested packages installed? Maybe one of the 3 following behaviours would be more appropriate: a) Having the error saying

Hello, for my small project I would like to organize the data, functions and documentation as a package. I have already created a skeleton directory structure with DESCRIPTION file and put some files in the R, man and data subdirectories. Now I would like to work on the package without calling R CMD build/install after each change. In fact, I do not have the build tools installed yet (I am on

Full_Name: Jari Oksanen Version: 2.0.1, 2.1.0 beta (2005-04-17) OS: Linux Submission from: (NULL) (130.231.102.145) If name ends with "and", such as "Roeland Lastname", citation() will chop "and" as a separate word giving "Roel and Lastname". This is the case in the upcoming release of vegan (1.6-8) just submitted to CRAN. Basically, this seems to happen

Hi, Wouldn't it be awesome if package.skeleton() could be used to produce, well... a package skeleton? In a fresh R session: > package.skeleton("mypkg") Error in !have : invalid argument type This (not very informative) error message seems to occur because I'm trying to create a skeleton with no flesh on it: > foo <- function() {} >

Canberra distance is defined in function `dist' (standard library `mva') as sum(|x_i - y_i| / |x_i + y_i|) Obviously this is undefined for cases where both x_i and y_i are zeros. Since double zeros are common in many data sets, this is a nuisance. In our field (from which the distance is coming), it is customary to remove double zeros: contribution to distance is zero when both x_i

hi, my attempt to install the package Hmisc v3.0-1 fails with the message: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lfrtbegin collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [Hmisc.so] Error 1 ERROR: compilation failed for package 'Hmisc' i'm at a loss here. any hints will be very much appreciated. i'm running: debian stable R version 2.0.1 gcc 2.95.4-14 g77 2.95.4-14 binutils 2.12.90.0.1-4

Dear all, I didn't find any graphical solution in the package "mva" to plot the canonical scores from a CCA (canonical correlation analysis). Does anybody knows how to plot or has anybody already programmed : - the map of the canonical scores, - the graph of the canonical weights, - the correlation circle i.e. the canonical loadings ? Thank you for help ...

Dear R folks, One of the fantastic new tools in R is `Sweave'. I have tested it so much that I know it works and produces fine documentation, and with (GNU) Emacs/ESS it is nice to work with, too. I started to have a look at including some Swoven (is that a strong verb?) documentation with my R package, but it seems that there is no model to copy among those packages that I have installed in

Dear all, I'm trying to get a two dimensional embedding of some data using different meythods, among which princomp(), cmds(), sammon() and isoMDS(). I have a problem with sammon() because the coordinates I get are all equal to NA. What does it mean? Why the method fails in finding the coordinates? Can I do anything to get some meaningful results? Thank you very much Domenico
