similar to: The "lib" argument in install.packages().

There appears to be a bug in help() when there are multiple packages attached containing functions with the same name, and offline=TRUE. Example: library(mgcv) library(gam) If one simply does: help(gam) # No ``offline=TRUE'' then the following message appears: Help on topic 'gam' was found in the following packages: Package Library mgcv

I tried to search for a string of words ``as one entity'' following the example in the help file: > RSiteSearch("{logistic regression}") and got the error message: 2008-09-11 08:55:41.356 open[823] No such file: /Users/rturner/http:/ search.r-project.org/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query={logistic+regression}

I recently tried to install the latest version of spatstat, from CRAN, using the install.packages() function. It proceeded to install version 1.17-5 of spatstat, although the current version is 1.18-4. Checking the CRAN mirror that I used (New Zealand) via Firefox, I found that version 1.18-4 is indeed present on CRAN. I was able to download and install version 1.18-4 ``manually''

I used to have the following in my .Rprofile: if (length(.libPaths())==1) .libPaths(paste(Sys.getenv("HOME"),"/Library/R/",paste(R.version$major,as.integer(R.version$minor),sep='.'),"/library",sep='')) -- and it added my user-defined library directory. Then I installed packages there, so during an upgrade, I'd know exactly which packages I

I upgraded to R version 2.6.0 yesterday; now I find that I can't load spatstat. I re-installed spatstat (that part seemed to work without complaint) but when I execute > library(spatstat) I get the error message Error in dyn.load(file, ...) : unable to load shared library '/Users/rturner/Rlib/spatstat/libs/ i386/spatstat.so':

In an elderly version of ``plotSymbols'' (now in the cwhmisc package) that I had lying around, there was the example plot(1:10,xlab="\374") which the comments said would give a u-umlaut as the x-axis label. When I execute this plot (a) I get no x-axis label at all, and (b) the plot ``freezes'' in that further plotting commands (e.g. plot(runif(42))) produce no

When I create a manual for a package that I create and use locally, e.g. via R CMD Rd2dvi --pdf foo where ``foo'' is the name of the directory containing the source for the package (also named ``foo'') the resulting manual does not appear to have an index. The package.pdf files appearing on CRAN all seem to have indices. What must I do to get an index appended to the

I previously sent a cri de coeur about this problem to the r-help list but so far have not managed to extract a solution. So I am trying here. (Uh, Ubuntu *is* a "special instance" of Debian, isn't it?) The problem is that I cannot install rgdal, and I need it. Rather desperately. I do: install.packages("rgdal",lib="/home/rolf/Rlib") and get the error

If I execute R CMD Rd2dvi foo.Rd I get messages of the form: Converting Rd files to LaTeX ... foo.Rd Creating dvi output from LaTeX ... Saving output to 'foo.dvi' ... cp: .Rd2dvi4366/Rd2.dvi: No such file or directory Done xdvi-xaw: Fatal error: foo.dvi: No such file. Indeed if I add the --no-clean flag and then cd to the .Rd2dvi<whatever> directory, I find that there is no

I'm getting an error when applying all.equal() to objects of class POSIXt. E.g. x <- strptime(rep("2007-02-12",10),format="%Y-%m-%d") all.equal(x,x) Error in target[[i]] : subscript out of bounds The object seems to have to be of double-digit length to trigger the error. E.g. all.equal(x[1:9],x[1:9]) returns TRUE. I did a cursory search of the r-help pages and

Hi folks, I am having a small problem with asterisk-1.6.2.7 + app_fax on OpenBSD 4.7 -release. Everything seems to work fine. I have a macro which answers, receives the fax to a tiff, and then runs a script (mailfax) to convert that to pdf and email it. It all works perfectly except for some errors I am seeing in the console. After it hangs up I get a dozen or so messages in the cli

I've recently installed R-1.4.0 and I'm having the devil's own time trying to install a home-made package. As far as I can tell, I'm doing the same things that I did previously, under 1.3.1, but somehow everything goes haywire. (Quite possibly I'm simply mis-remembering what I did before, but I can't for the life of me figure out what to change). A toy example of what I

I am experimenting with exporting pointers to some of the functions in deSolve so that other packages may import them, using the 'R_RegisterCCallable' mechanism. I have added a header file and some other C code in inst/include of the deSolve source package that need to be accessible to other packages. I have a site-library set up in Rprofile.site where all installed packages go, and as

BTW, turn that irksome WARN_ON_ONCE() in drivers/gpu/drm/drm_vblank.c into a WARN_ONCE(), and all is peachy, you get the warning, box lives. ---

I am working on a SLES 10 cluster with R available on it. To better use my resources, I want to use Rmpi, but I am having a difficult time installing it. I have set the $R_LIBS variable correctly. The MPI libraries are available through the PGI compiler, but this R instance was compiled with GCC. The Rmpi package can be compiled and installed with %R CMD INSTALL Rmpi_0.5-5.tar.gz

I've just installed version 1.4.0 of R, and am experiencing a puzzling phenomenon with the library() function.

Hi, Sorry for posting a question that has been asked before but I couldn't quite find the right answer in previous help topics. I am trying to set my library path to a user-specified library ("C:/Users/K/Documents/Work/RLib"). I have used .libPaths("C:/Users/K/Documents/Work/RLib") but when I check the .libPaths(), both the user-specified and default libraries appear. It

I have a local library with functions that interrogates an institution-specific web API, so is not of interest to anyone outside of Mayo. For some reason the R CMD INSTALL command fails.
