Full_Name: Byron Ellis Version: R 1.9.0 (and 2.0.0) OS: Linux (Redhat Fedora Core) Submission from: (NULL) (140.247.241.197) It appears that `R CMD build` cannot handle spaces in the path when building packages for distribution. For instance: [ellis@net-78815 ~/Bayesian Networks]$ R CMD build bnsl * checking for file 'bnsl/DESCRIPTION' ... OK * preparing 'bnsl': * cleaning src *

Full_Name: Byron Ellis Version: 1.2.3 OS: Windows 2000 Server Submission from: (NULL) (140.247.105.95) In Rgui when attempting to resize the console the system locks for a second (cursor locks up, etc) and then either returns to normal for a second before crashing or just crashes when we start moving again (the former happens more often when making things bigger, the latter when the console is

Full_Name: Byron Ellis Version: 2.4.1 OS: N/A Submission from: (NULL) (75.55.126.10) R_tryEval is implied to be in the public API by 'Embedding R in Other Applications,' but not documented in 'Writing R Extensions.' This would seem to be an oversight given the dependence of many applications including but not limited to the official OS X GUI on this function.

Hi all (especially R-core) I suppose, With the introduction of the new functional programming functions into base I thought I'd ask for a Curry() function. I use a simple one that looks this: Curry = function(FUN,...) { .orig = list(...);function(...) do.call(FUN,c(.orig,list(...))) } This comes in really handy when using say, heatmap():

Full_Name: Byron Ellis Version: 1.2.2 OS: all Submission from: (NULL) (140.247.105.95) R_ext/Arith.h #ifdef MAIN #define extern #endif #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" { #endif these two should be reversed. Its never a problem because builds aren't done against C++ compilers, but its still an error (just a low priority one). also, you could change that to #ifdef __cplusplus extern

Full_Name: Byron Ellis Version: R-devel OS: Mac OS X Submission from: (NULL) (24.10.67.29) Unline R CMD INSTALL, R CMD CHECK does not allow --configure-args to be passed. This is unfortunate as R CMD CHECK attempts to build the package, running any configure scripts that may be around thus failing on platforms that require configuration arguments to build properly.

Has anyone taken a shot at a Cairo graphics device yet? I half expected to see one on either Paul's pages or Omegahat. :-) --- Byron Ellis (ellis at stat.harvard.edu) "Oook" -- The Librarian

Some quick questions about S4 methods. Does the typing of S4 methods mean that lazy evaluation is no longer possible? It seems that you would need to evaluate the arguments to determine their type at dispatch. Second, what role, if any, do default arguments play in S4 methods? I notice that you can put default arguments into generics but that the dispatch is still done on the type of the

Hi all, I'm having a problem with some sort of interaction with try() and methods, I think. The setup is as follows, I have an S4 class that holds an environment and I would like to evaluate the right hand side of a function inside that environment. No problem there. However, if the formula involves a symbol that doesn't exist, which may or may not happen, it fails as it should and

Is the anonymous CVS repository for R presently broken? There haven't been many updates coming through and the repository files seem to differ significantly from the rsync version of R-devel...

For the last, I dunno, week or so I've been unable to build R... I finally took the time to investigate and the crash is in building 'methods': all.R is unchanged ../../../library/methods/man/methods.Rd is unchanged make[2]: `Makedeps' is up to date. ../../../../library/methods/libs/methods.so is unchanged make[1]: Nothing to be done for `Rfiles'. Any clues to where this

So, consider the following: > example(glm) > g = function(model) { w = runif(9);glm(model,weights=w); } > g(counts ~ outcome + treatment) Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : object "w" not found Huh?! I suspect that somebody is lazily evaluating arguments in the wrong environment (probably GlobalEnv in this case). I'm willing to accept the fact that there's

Thanks Byron, I assume you use new Devel Tool updates and nothing from fink? Can other people with new dev tools check this (for example Jan?) It would be nice to update the instuction page (and R-admin in the future) some general notes: 1. there is no need to configure with --without-x as X11 can now be used from inside RAqua 2. please use R-devel and not R-Sig-Mac as we will soon close this

Hello, I've been playing around w/ the new dynamic C symbol stuff (thank you for doing that!) in the, um, 5/11/01 R-devel package and, unless I've missed something incredibly obvious, there doesn't appear to be a mechanism for registering functions of an embedding executable. It seems like this would be a Good Thing to have. Since I'm doing most of my work in Windows at the

So PCRE dropped into R-devel recently, I tried just dropping 3.9 (latest version) into src/extra/pcre and compiling on Win32 but its dying during the final link (undefined reference to 'pcre_free') is there some special magic I'm missing or do I get to hunt this one down on my own?

I encountered some wierdness when building R-devel (latest rsync) on OSX using commandline tools (as opposed to the Carbon GUI and whatnot...probably just laziness on my part but it generally works :-)). At any rate, sometime between 2002-07-05 and the present the configure scripts started setting INSTALL_DATA to ${R_HOME}/bin/install -c in Makeconf...which causes wierdness for the Mac OSX

A couple days ago, Mark Leeds asked about a solution that would basically stagger two lists, a and b, to return a list in the form of a[1], b[1], a[2], b[2], a[3].... In particular, the summary of his question was in reference to lists defined by x <- 5 tempin <- seq(1,1411, by=30) a <- tempin b <- tempin + x I offered the following function everyOther <-
