It's fairly easy to link against the libraries from rwinlib: https://github.com/rwinlib/zeromq. I'll send you a pull request later this week to fix the binary

for the moment, I'm using: .onAttach <- function(libname, pkgname) { .bbg.db.conn <<- dbConnect(dbDriver("PostgreSQL"), user="blah","blah") } .onUnload <- function(libpath) { dbDisconnect(.bbg.db.conn) } which results in a hidden global variable in the global environment. I would prefer to make the assignment only in the package namespace.

Since, gcc was using upwards of 2gb of ram to compile my package, I just split all the functions into individual files. I guess I'm too clever for myself, because now I get hit with the "Argument list too long" error. Is there a way to deal with this aside from writing my own configure script (which could possibly feed the gcc commands one by one). -Whit RHEL 5 [whit at

I will be taking over as maintainer of the its package from Giles Heywood. The code was originally written while he was working at Commerzbank. I have added the header below to the top of the R source file to indicate the changes in the copyrights for the code. The package was originally released under GPL2. I have no experience with copyright issues, and would appreciate it if someone who does

Can someone help me with this simple example? sq <- function() { y <- x^2 y } myfunc <- function() { x <- 10 sq() } myfunc() executing the above in R yields: > myfunc() Error in sq() : Object "x" not found I understand that R's scoping rules cause it to look for "x" in the environment in which "sq" was defined (the global environment in

Can anyone share some opinions on test suites for R packages? I'm looking at testthat and RUnit. Does anyone have strong opinions on either of those. Any additional packages I should consider? Thanks, Whit

I see that plot.default uses deparse(substitute(x)) to extract the character name of an argument and put it on the vertical axis. Hence: foo <- 1:10 plot( foo ) will put the label "foo" on the vertical axis. However, for a function that takes a "..." list as an input, I can only extract the first argument name: x <- 1:10 y <- 10:20 foo <- function(...) {

for a simple example: x <- list() x[["a"]] <- list(a=c(1,2,3),b=c(3,4,5)) x[["b"]] <- list(a=c(6,7,8),b=c(9,10,11)) lapply(x,sum) this fails w/ Error in FUN(X[[1L]], ...) : invalid 'type' (list) of argument Just wondering if I have overlooked something obvious. one can also do: lapply(x,lapply,sum) but that assumes that you already know how many levels

Have you noticed any problems with big dates (>=1/1/2040) in R? Here is the bit of code that I'm having trouble with: > test.date <- strptime("1/1/2040",format="%m/%d/%Y") > > unlist(test.date) sec min hour mday mon year wday yday isdst 0 0 0 1 0 140 0 0 0 > > date.plus.one <- as.POSIXct(test.date) +

Anyone know a quick way to color one bar of a histogram? I want to mark the bar in which the most recent observation falls. So, for instance: x <- rnorm(100) latest.ob <- x[100] hist(x) ## how do I mark the bucket that latest.ob falls into? Thanks, Whit

Anyone out there using Linux RODBC and unixODBC to connect to a Microsoft SQL server? If possible can someone post a sample .odbc.ini file?

I know it's easy to write a simple loop to do this, but in the spirit of lapply, I thought I would ask if there is a builtin to filter or take a subset of a list based on a predicate in a similar way to the Erlang lists:filter/2 function: http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/lists.html#filter-2 filter(Pred, List1) -> List2 Types: Pred = fun(Elem) -> bool() Elem = term() List1 = List2 =

R developers, The "tzone" attribute is stripped from a POSIXct object when the subscript command is called ("[.POISXct"). This results in dates being printed in the locale specific format after a subscript operation is applied to a POSIXct object which has cause several problems for me in the past. Here is an example of this problem under R 1.9.1: > x <-

I've been looking at the help page for eval for a while, but I can't make sense of why this example does not work. show.a <- function() { a } init.env <- function() { a <- 200 environment() } my.env <- init.env() ls(envir=my.env) # returns this: # > ls(envir=my.env) # [1] "a" # but this does not work: eval(expression(show.a()),envir=my.env) # >

I must admit I'm a little ashamed to have been using R for so long, and still lack a sound understanding of deferred calls, eval, deparse, substitute, and friends. I'm attempting to make a deferred call to a function which has default arguments in the following way: call.foo <- function(f) { x <- f() } x <- 1:10 f <- function(x=x) { x^2 } call.foo(f) However, I'm

I've been working on a package that requires a shared library to be loaded. I have used the NAMESPACE file to load the library according to: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.html#Load%20hooks <http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.html#Load%20hooks> my shared library is "excelpoi.so" hence I have added "useDynLib(excelpoi)" to my NAMESPACE file.

I am trying to build a simple dll with Rcmd SHLIB to link into R. The results of the build are below. From my limited knowledge of building DLLs, it looks like it worked (I didn't get any errors).

Can someone help me understand the following behavior of "[<-" ? If I define a simple class based on a matrix, the [<- operation only inserts into the first column: > x <- matrix(rnorm(10),nrow=5,ncol=2) > class(x) <- "foo" > "[<-.foo" <- function(x, i, j, value) { + if(missing(i)) i <- 1:nrow(x) + if(missing(j)) j <-
