I just built R-devel from source on OS X (Tiger), using the subversion sources. Running ./tools/rsync-recommended didn't download rcompgen. I checked http://cran.r-project/src/contrib/2.7.0/Recommended and indeed, this package is not there. If I try to install using install.packages I get > install.packages("rcompgen", type="source") --- Please select a CRAN

Using R-1.8.0 (d/l and compiled on 2003-10-01) on WinXP, I seem to be unable to determine the maximum memory allocated to R. The help still says to use memory.limit(size=NA), but this returns the value NA. In addition, I have set --max-mem-size=2G but I run out of memory somewhere around 500Mb (which is why I am trying to find out how much memory is allocated). I don't have any other programs

I get a segfault when using savePlot("foo","pdf").

> R.version.string [1] "R version 2.1.0, 2005-03-17" I don't see anything in either https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/NEWS or in the Changes file for R-2.1.0 about changes in package.skeleton() (nor in the help page), but when I run this function, all the .Rd files produced are of the data format even if all I have in my .GlobalEnv are functions. A trivial example is to run the

Hi all, In the CHANGES file for R-2.3.0alpha, there is the following statement: winMenuAdd() now has no limits on the number of menus or items, and names are now limited to 500 (not 50) bytes. However, I can reproducibly get a segfault using this (admittedly silly) example: for( i in 1:5) winMenuAdd(paste("Test", letters[i], sep="")) for(i in 1:5) for(j in 1:24)

The function knn.cv in the class package doesn't have error checking to ensure that the length of the classlabel argument is equal to the number of rows in the test set. If the classlabel is short, the result is often a segfault. > library(class) > dat <- matrix(rnorm(1000), nrow=10) > cl <- c(rep(1,5), rep(2,5)) > cl2 <- c(rep(1,5), rep(2,4)) > knn.cv(dat, cl) [1] 2

Hi, I am unable to build a package I maintain using a relatively current build of R-2.4.0 alpha, whereas the package builds just fine on R-2.3.1. Both versions of R were built from source. I'm hoping a guRu might be able to give some help. Some snippets from the build process: R-2.3.1 making DLL ... gcc -Ic:/R-2.3.1/src/extra/zlib -DHAVE_ZLIB -Ic:/R-2.3.1/include -Wall -O2 -c

If one wants to unload compiled code for a package containing a namespace, my understanding is that .onUnload() should be used, with a call to library.dynam.unload(). This is used in e.g., the stats and methods packages, but it appears to me that the compiled code is not being unloaded when the package is detached(). Am I misunderstanding something?

I've tried looking at ?colors and ?palette and if I'm understanding it correctly, I'm supposed to type in (for example) palette(rainbow(13)) before I type in my plot (of 13 lines) if I want 13 different colors. But this does not work. Other things that i have tried besides rainbow give me errors. Am I just doing something completely wrong? Anna

Hi all, Most of the analyses I do are short little once-and-done type things that are easily encapsulated in a .Rnw file. However, I sometimes end up with projects that take an extended amount of time. Usually these projects are not easily encapsulated in an .Rnw file, so I have been using a single .R file with lots of comments. The problem with this approach is keeping track of what you have

On Solaris when my package is built, I get the following result: creating vignettes ...Segmentation Fault - core dumped OK My question isn't why I get a segfault, but why does build return an OK after such an inauspicious event? Is build only supposed to error out if something more central to the package is off? R CMD check does issue a warning that the vignette is missing, so maybe that

Hi All, I am having a problem with Rcmd build using R-devel on WinXP. If I try to build a package using the --binary flag, I get the following error: Error: cannot change to directory ' 'c:/TEMP/Rbuild.XXXX' ' Where XXXX is some number. I can get Rcmd build to work using R-1.7.1 and R-1.8.0, so I don't think it is a permission problem. I looked at the build file, and the

I get the following error when building R from the subversion server as well as the latest tarball. I am on Windows XP, and I recently updated my MinGW installation.

Hi all, Bioconductor has several metaData packages that contain quite large data sets. In the past, these data were simply held in the /data directory of the package as .rda files and load()ed as needed. Converting to using lazy data loading may have memory and performance advantages, but for the larger metaData packages the installation is painfully slow (it has taken > 30 min to install a

As far as I know, the following should work.

Hi everyone, My purpose is to read a .CEL file into R. The .CEL file was created from a .CAB by using DTT software found on Affymetrix website I read the .CEL file in R using ReadAffy as follows: > d2=ReadAffy(widget=T) and I complete the fields as required. It does not complain. For example I could find the description: > description(d2) Experimenter name: BB Laboratory: FFL Contact

I'm finalizing development of a package that will include a vignette. Without the vignette, the package builds fine with no warnings and is ready for distribution. Now, I am following the directions for developing vignettes "Sweave, Part II: Package Vignettes" by Friedrich Leisch. I am using a windows XP machine (other session info below). Here is what I have done. 1) I add the

I am trying to work with 75 affymetrix U133plus2 chips and am running into memory allocation errors when trying to merge or convert probe level data to expression values.
