Hi Duncan, just noticed that after installing the Windows R-2.13.0 build there is no i386 directory in the R-2.13.0dev/bin directory and hence no Rgui.exe. Is this intentional with the devel version? I downloaded from http://cran.ms.unimelb.edu.au/, where it says: "This is a combined Windows 32/64 bit binary build of the 2010-11-27 r53672 development snapshot of R (which will eventually

I run R on MS Windows. In R2.9.0dev, I type ?base to get "R help for package base" to open. I then select ".First" from the list of contents, getting a page headed: "Initialization at Start of an R Session". About half way down there is a sentence: The command-line flag --vanilla implies --no-site-file, --no-init-file, --no-restore and --no-environ. Under

I maintain the package affylmGUI. It works when installed on many previous versions of R. I have today tested exactly the same code under R-2.15.3, R-3.0.2, R-3.1.0, R-3.1.1, R-3.1.2 and R-devel. I have also tested the versions of affylmGUI downloaded by biocLite for each version of R and the same result applies. I have no errors under 2.15.3, 3.0.2, 3.1.0 and 3.1.1. The following error

I am the maintainer of a Bioconductor package (affylmGUI) which uses tcltk. It freezes inconsistently on MS Windows, but not Mac or Unix. see details below. After considerable testing I have reduced the problem from a few thousand lines of code to 30 lines! If you paste the following lines of code into an R window: testGUI <- function(){ require(tcltk) MainWindow <-

Thanks Peter and Dan for your replies. After learning a bit more about tcltk and environments etc. I have replaced Try(n <- evalq(TclVarCount <- TclVarCount + 1, .TkRoot$env)) with Try(n <- .TkRoot$env$TclVarCount <- .TkRoot$env$TclVarCount +1L) as you suggest. It now works for both R-3.1.1 and R-3.1.2+ (My understanding is that the Try function is there to put a GUI box

Hi! Is there any way to test if R is running on a Mac? I usually use value of .Platform$OS.type for windows or unix, but Mac falls in the latter group. Thanks, Gregor

Seems unlikely that that particular bug is involved. I seem to recall some change related to inadvertent variable capture in .TkRoot$env (?). At any rate, we currently have > parent.env(.TkRoot$env) <environment: R_EmptyEnv> which used to be > parent.env(.TkRoot$env) <environment: R_GlobalEnv> as a result, this won't work any more because R_EmptyEnv has no operators and

Hi all, I am getting the following error message: > mymodel = glm(response ~ . , family=binomial, data=C); Error: cannot allocate vector of size 734.2 Mb In addition: Warning messages: 1: In array(0, c(n, n), list(levs, levs)) : Reached total allocation of 1535Mb: see help(memory.size) 2: In array(0, c(n, n), list(levs, levs)) : Reached total allocation of 1535Mb: see help(memory.size) 3:

Hi all Two computers: one is my desktop PC, windows2000, R 1.9.1. Physical RAM 256MB, Swap (Virtual memory) 384Mb. When I allocate a large matrix, it firstly uses up RAM, then use swap space. In windows' task manager, the usage of memory could exceed my physic RAM's size. The other machine is a remote server. Windows XP, R 1.9.1 Physical RAM 2GB. Swap space 4GB. I use "R

Hi R users I am trying to run a non linear parameter optimization using the function optim() and I have problems regarding memory allocation. My data are in a dataframe with 9 columns. There are 656100 rows. >head(org_results) comb.id p H1 H2 Range Rep no.steps dist aver.hab.amount 1 1 0.1 0 0 1 100 0 0.2528321

I have two R objects, allDataSubset1 and allDataSubset2 and the str of both of them is shown below ( I don't show all 18 lists for space purposes ). The difference between them is that the times ( and possibly the days ) and the data is different and what I want to do is merge them so that only the data in Subset2 that is the same day and times as Subset 1 remains in the merged dataset.

My mistake sir. I was literally engrossed in my stupid logic, and while doing so, overlooked the simple and very effective solution you had offered. Sorry once again sir and will certainly try to be very careful in future. Thanks again and have a great weekend sir.

Thanks Henrik, That clears things up significantly. I did see the warning but failed to include it my initial email. It sounds like an RStudio issue, and it seems like that it?s quite intrinsic to how forks interact with RStudio. Given this code is eventually going to be a part of a package, should I expect it to fail mysteriously in RStudio for my users? Is the best solution here to migrate all

Dear R-devel, I am experiencing issues with running GAM models using mclapply, it fails to return any values if the data input becomes large. For example here the code runs fine with a df of 100 rows, but fails at 1000. library(mgcv) library(parallel) > df <- data.frame( + x = 1:100, + y = 1:100 + ) > > mclapply(1:2, function(i, df) { + fit <- gam(y ~ s(x, bs =

How do people deal with R and memory issues? I have tried using gc() to see how much memory is used at each step. Scanned Crawley R-Book and all other R books I have available and the FAQ on-line but no help really found. Running WinXP Pro (32 bit) with 4 GB RAM. One SATA drive pair is in RAID 0 configuration with 10000 MB allocated as virtual memory. I do have another machine
