Hello, A post to R-Help by Oliver Soong reports what seems to be a bug specific to Windows (I'm on Windows 7). The original post is as follows: ---------------------------------------------------------------- from: Oliver Soong <osoong+r at gmail.com> to: r-help <r-help at r-project.org> date: Fri, 7 Dec 2012 22:07:49 -0800 subject: [R] file.link fails on NTFS Windows 7 64-bit,

Dear all, I just tried to be fast for once, installed R 2.10 and also newly installed all previously-installed packages. However, now all my help files are text only, which is of course a pity with the new possibilities of links between help pages. What can I do to re-activate chm-help? chm-help does not work for anything, not even base functionality. My system is Windows XP, German locale

Having loaded a package that masks an object from another package, calling help(conflictedname, help_type = 'html') instead of producing a page giving the choices of help page available The page produced is Error in httpd("/library/NULL/help/nobs", NULL, NULL, c(48, 6f, 73, 74, : replacement has length zero This example is reproduced using library(gdata) help(nobs,

Hi, I have a question about the graphics changes in 2.7.0. The example is this bit of code: par(mfcol = c(2, 3)) for(i in 1:6) plot(1:10, 1:10, xlab = "xlab", ylab = "ylab", main = "main") In 2.7.0, if I do this interactively (using windows()), I get bold titles. If I do this through a png device, I get regular weight titles. If I do this in 2.6.2, both

Hi, I have options(help_type="html") in my .Rprofile and when I type ?foo, the man page appears as a new tab in my web browser (which is already running). Fine. However, when I type ??foo, rather than the results appearing in a new tab, a new instance of the web browser is spawned with the default homepage displayed. Same with help.search("foo"). Am I the only one seeing this?

After a clean install of R 4.0.0 (R-base only) on Mint 19.3, the directory /usr/lib/R/library/base/html is empty. However, the directory /usr/lib/R/library/boot/html contains files 00Index.html and R.css. Correspondingly, the command help(package="base", help_type="html") produces the text "No package index found for package base". The same occurs when clicking

Dear ALL, I am trying to run Tinn R for the first time with R. I have already selected the SDI option. When ever I run the code I get the following error: > source(.trPaths[4]) Error in source(.trPaths[4]) : object '.trPaths' not found Can any one help? Raphael

Can somebody confirm some unexpected behavior? This is under Windows, with R 2.11.0 and 2.11.1. 1. Create a trivial test file (I called it test.R) containing: cat("Success.\n") 2. Load R (Gui or Term) and run: shell("\"C:\\path\\to\\Rscript.exe\" \"C:\\path\\to\\test.R\"") In my case, I get various error messages. If the path\\to\\Rscript.exe has spaces

I don't understand the advantages of generating html help dynamically, but I have found some clear disadvantages. One is that I can no longer use a bookmark in my browser to access the list of packages and go from there to individual help pages. The other is that, if I try to use ESS instead (using options(help_type="html") in .Rprofile) - it is a mess. ESS splits the emacs frame

This is the first time that I have tried to update packages with a tinkered around with .Rprofile. I start R with R --vanilla and it does not load my .Rprofile, but when I issue the command update.packages() R downloads the packages as expected, but then seems to load .Rprofile before compiling the packages sources. What am I doing wrong? kindest regards, Stephen Sefick see- Session info

Dear R-users, I've just installed the last version of R (2.10.0) in Windows and found a completely new version of the help pages. Basically, they now appear as a simple (even if slightly embellished) text file. I tried to install it with a customized startup and realized that the old CHM files (the default for Windows up to 2.9.2) are not included anymore as a possible choice. I don't

Hi, I' using Ubuntu 10.10/11.04 and on both of the systems help doesn't work unless I set options(help_type="html"). I hate to change context and help_type='html' distracts me. I want text based help inside console. Where should I look to fix this problem? -- Amol

I noticed about a couple weeks ago that my R start up script starting showing the below errors, following the line "Type 'q()' to quit R" Not sure what I did different and so far it hasn't caused major problems but kind of fear that it will. Can you please help? I also posted my Rprofile below. Attempting to load the environment 'package:R.utils' R.methodsS3 v1.2.2

This error can arise when getOption("width") is too small. 80 seems to be the limit for me with R-3.3.2 on Windows.

Dear all Shouldn't this start the html help for the chosen package? > help(package="boot", help_type = "html") Instead, the text version is displayed in less (I believe). However, I have no issues to start the html help with the following. > help.start() starting httpd help server ... done If 'xdg-open' is already running, it is *not* restarted, and you must

I'm trying to get help to print the help pages in html format to the terminal. This is in order to be able to see the html help files remotely. If I do printURL = function(file) {a=readLines(url(file));cat(a,sep="\n")} options(browser=printURL) options(help_type="html") then invoking help with ?print gets stuck. I think what happens is that the web server run by R that

All, 1. I will try and make this clear and concise. Please let me know any information that would be helpful in figuring out this problem (I don't know the relevant information to post). I am on linux- see below for session information. 2. Problem: working directory: home an old version of a function is sourced into the R session and doesn't work working directory: Desktop the

I've just committed a couple of changes to R-devel related to requests at userR about the Windows installer. The first of these affects all platforms, but I've only tested it on Windows: I added an option "quit.with.no.save". If TRUE, then the default q("ask") prompt will not offer to save the workspace. This is in response to the observation that new users who
