similar to: sessionInfo() fails to correctly detect locale settings

Dear all I am writing an Sweave document and have encountered formatting issues with the "locale" part of toLatex(sessionInfo()). The fact that there is no spaces between the various "locale" variables means that LaTeX cannot easily find an appropriate place to break the lines, and some will get printed off screen. Below is the text output, and this .pdf document [1] shows the

Dear all On my system html() conversion of a `latex()' object fails. Follows a dummy example: > require(Hmisc) > data(Angell) > .object <- cor(Angell[,1:2], use="complete.obs") > tmp <- latex(.object, cdec=c(2,2), title="") > class(tmp) [1] "latex" > html(tmp) /tmp/RtmprfPwzw/file7e72f7a7.tex:9: Warning: Command not found: \tabularnewline

Dear all I am getting this strange error when checking my package. Would you have an idea what causes it? Thank you Liviu * checking Rd cross-references ...

Dear developers I've tried this a couple of days ago on r-help, unfortunately with no feedback. Could you please take a look and confirm whether it's a bug, feature, or bad eye-sight when reading Help: Is it normal that R ignores options("width"=100) at start-up? Although liviu at debian-liv:~$ cat /usr/lib/R/etc/Rprofile.site | grep width options(width = 100) , R will

Dear developers I get some strange crashes when 'cairoDevice' and 'tcltk' are both loaded in the same R vanilla session. When executing the following in that order require(relimp) require(cairoDevice) showData (iris) I get a crash with the following message (see R-relimp-cairoDevice.txt): The program 'R' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in

Dear all How should I attempt debugging this error? > sosInit() Error: invalid connection When this happens R refuses to run anything: > 2+2 Error: invalid connection > sessionInfo () Error in stdout() : invalid connection Debugging it seems impossible. > options(error=recover) > sosInit() Error: invalid connection Error during wrapup: invalid connection The error also

Dear all I am working on unbalanced panel data and I can readily fit a "pooling" model using plm(), but not a "within" or "random" model. Reproducing the examples in vignette("plm") and in the AER package I encountered no such issues. ##unfortunately I cannot disclose the data, and it is too big anyway > dim(ibes.kld.exp.p[x.subs , ]) [1] 13189 34

Dear all, I installed the amd64 cran2deb [1] JGR binaries on a fresh Debian testing, and JGR is missbehaving. When JGR starts up, one core of the CPU goes to 100% and stays there, even though I am keeping it idle and not performing any operation. I tried JGR with both sun-java6-jdk and openjdk-6-jdk, debian-liv:/home/liviu# update-alternatives --config java There are 4 choices for the alternative

Dear developers I am unable to (properly) load JGR on Debian testing. The JGR window will pop out and R will start up, but it will not perform any of the JGR specific library() calls (rJava, JavaGD, etc.) and will stuck at 100% CPU while the prompt will be non-responsive. The hack that helped previously in such cases, accessing Help > About [1], works no more. All R packages are installed via

Dear all I am trying to fit Variable Coefficients Models on Unbalanced Panel Data. I managed to fit such models on balanced panel data (the example from the "plm" vignette), but I failed to do so on my real, unbalanced panel data. I can reproduce the error on a modified example from the vignette: > require(plm) > data("Hedonic") > Hed <- pvcm(mv ~ crim + zn + indus

Dear all I have issues with loading ggobi plug-ins in my Debian testing. In a R --vanilla session I get a lot of error messages about being unable to load the plug-ins (see at the end). I understand that this issue has been previously addressed [1][2], and the solution implemented in Debian: liviu at debian-liv:~$ locate /usr/lib/ggobi/plugins /usr/lib/ggobi/plugins

--0016e6d464cff5d753047d482362 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 I am experiencing some regular crashes on Debian Linux, 32- and 64-bit, involving 'tcltk' and 'cairoDevice' or 'RGtk2'. They make it very difficult to use tcltk interfaces (Rcmdr) and GTK+ ones (rattle, playwith, etc.) in the same R session. NOTE: Before you continue, please read NOTE2 located towards

Dear all I would like to start R with Rcmdr from the cli, without tweaking Rprofile.site. This has been discussed in the past [1], but I don't see a solution that (1) could be used with any working directory and (2) would avoid starting Rcmdr on every R start-up. Personally I tried the following, which starts R but not Rcmdr liv at liv-laptop:~$ R --interactive -e 'require(Rcmdr)'

Hi, I’m working with the 64 bit version of R 2.11.0 for Linux.

I'm guessing this is a FAQ but I can't find it and that it is probably not exclusive R related but relevant so I thought I'd ask: When I view the PDF output from Sweave (e.g. Example 1 from the author's web site at [1]) on a Linux system using the standard PDF viewer [2], the circles for the outliers in the plot [boxplot(Ozone ~ Month, data = airquality)] show up as the letter

Hi there. With OpenSSH 3.0.2p1 on Solaris, the locale does not appear to get set correctly at login, as it does with, say telnet: /etc/default/init: TZ=GB CMASK=022 LC_COLLATE=en_GB.ISO8859-1 LC_CTYPE=en_GB.ISO8859-1 LC_MESSAGES=C LC_MONETARY=en_GB.ISO8859-1 LC_NUMERIC=en_GB.ISO8859-1 LC_TIME=en_GB.ISO8859-1 When logging in via SSH: scot /home/scot > locale LANG=

Just noticed that the output of 'date' is different between CentOS 6 and 7 when using the 'en_GB' locale - e.g.: CentOS 6: % LANG=en_GB date Thu Nov 15 11:42:46 GMT 2018 % LANG=en_US date Thu Nov 15 11:42:56 GMT 2018 CentOS 7: % LANG=en_GB date Thu 15 Nov 11:43:07 GMT 2018 % LANG=en_US date Thu Nov 15 11:43:11 GMT 2018 i.e. with LANG=en_GB on CentOS 7, the day

Dear all Is there any R function that would perform currency conversion using up-to-date exchange rates? I would be looking for a function that allows to download recent exchange rates (say, from Yahoo!) and then use these in converting currencies (say, USD to EUR). I am not sure whether r-sig-finance would be more appropriate, but the (off-)topic feels general enough to me. Thank you Liviu --
