Dear R-Help My OS is Windows CP, I'm not sure my sessionInfo() is relevant but here it is: R version 2.10.1 (2009-12-14) i386-pc-mingw32 locale: [1] LC_COLLATE=English_United Kingdom.1252 LC_CTYPE=English_United Kingdom.1252 LC_MONETARY=English_United Kingdom.1252 [4] LC_NUMERIC=C LC_TIME=English_United Kingdom.1252 attached base packages: [1] stats

Hi, I can't seem to install R from source. I've downloaded the latest Rtools211.exe from http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/ & done a full installation of that and Inno Setup. I have set R_HOME as C:\R (and also tried using C:\R\R-2.11.1) After successfully running 'tar xf R-2.11.1.tar.gz' the modifications I have made and saved as MkRules.local are: BUILD_HTML =

Hello R developers, I sincerely apologize if the answer to this question is clearly documented somewhere, but I was unable to figure it out over my morning coffee. I just downloaded today's release of R 2.11.0 and installed it on my Windows 7 64 bit VM. I also downloaded the latest version of Rtools211 from Professor Murdoch's site. The first thing I attempted to do was build some of

Any other method besides using RTOOLS? I am using R 2.10.1, which version of Rtools should I use? It seems that there are two versions on the website. The commands like R CMD build should be used in the CMD window, right?

Hi, Is this sufficient? if (.Machine$sizeof.pointer==4){ cat('32\n') } else { cat('64\n') } Or is it better to test something in R.version, say os? I'd like to use this to specify appropriate linker arguments when building the RMySQL windows package. Jeff -- http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/JeffreyHorner

A professor here at Vanderbilt sent me the following code. Each of the text strings should right justify against the center vertical bar, but because of font issues it doesn't. I understand that there are workarounds, but I was just curious if this was consistent across all platforms. On linux with R 2.7.1 and R-trunk (r46103), both acrobat reader 8 and kpdf render it incorrectly. How

In R-2-4-branch r39548, Rcons_vprintf is called from stdout_vfprintf when R_Outputfile is NULL. When called and output is greater than R_BUFSIZE, output is truncated to R_BUFSIZE.

I'm currently working on embedding R into the Apache2 webserver (with some positive results...), but I'm struggling to identify the best way to expose the apache data and functions to R. A couple of thoughts: In light of the recent discussion on "S3/S4 classes performance comparson", I'm leaning toward implementing the interface with S3 style classes. I appreciate

Hello all, I've been working on a new R Graphics device that targets Adobe's Shockwave Flash format (SWF for short). It uses http://www.libming.org/ on the backend. Here are some example outputs so far: http://160.129.129.41/~hornerj/plots/ Once you click on the above, choose a directory like 'smooth' and then click on test.html to see a side-by-side comparison of the swf

Hello, I've been wondering why my no-optimization R-devel builds have been hanging during "building/updating package indices ...". I tracked it down with gdb to this line from do_basename in utils.c: while ( *(p = buf + strlen(buf) - 1) == fsp ) *p = '\0'; Now, imagine if your compiler places the variable fsp immediately before buf on the stack, and strlen(buf) is 0.

I received by email an R package (file.tar.gz) that was created in Linux. The package was already installed in another computer in linux using install.packages and it worked I am not familiar with installing packages but I would like to install it on Windows I downloaded the Rtools29.exe and tryed to install using install.packages("foo.tar.gz", repos=NULL, type="source") but

Byron, I just read your blog (statcomp.blogspot.com, linked from your other post) and rand across your idea of an R/Flash graphics device. I've also been giving this some thought because of this amazing interactive flash app: http://tools.google.com/gapminder and others from http://www.gapminder.org/. I would love more than anything to work on this. The only hitch is that I'm so

I was writing Rd documentation for a new package when I came across this issue. Here's the smallest example: > library(tools) > cat("\\examples{x <- '<%=rnorm(1)%>'}\n",file=file.path(tempdir(),'test.Rd')) > readLines(file.path(tempdir(),'test.Rd')) [1] "\\examples{x <- '<%=rnorm(1)%>'}" >

Hello, ?DateTimeClasses states that "one can add or subtract a number of seconds or a 'difftime' object from a date-time object, but not add two date-time objects." So, is the below expected behavior? > x <- Sys.time() > x [1] "2007-02-21 16:19:56 CST" > x + as.difftime("1","%H") [1] "2007-02-21 16:19:57 CST" Warning

For embedded projects, one may want to eliminate the per-session temp directory created by InitTempDir() and just use a system-specific temp directory. Here's my solution: extern char *R_TempDir; void my_InitTempDir() { char *tmp; if (R_TempDir){ if (rmdir(R_TempDir) != 0){ perror("Fatal Error: could not remove R's TempDir!");

And on that note, here is a function that I use to get around it: -----Original Message----- From: r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch [mailto:r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch] On Behalf Of Jeffrey Horner Sent: Friday, November 03, 2006 10:01 AM To: ryszard.czerminski at novartis.com Cc: r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch Subject: Re: [R] R CMD BATCH: unable to start device PNG ryszard.czerminski

Hi all, We have a user that would like to create pdf plots using the Arial font. One way for her to do this is to use the Cairo graphics device which produces pdf's beautifully and embeds fonts automatically. She could also install the msttcorefonts package from ubuntu to obtain the Arial font. The problem is that she is using Sweave() to produce a document that contains the pdf plots,

Dear useRs, I'm having trouble building R packages in Windows 7 regarding HTML help Workshop. Pointing PATH to c:\Program Files\HTML help Workshop does work in Windows (e.g. Vista) and does not in Windows 7. Some tips??

Forgive me, but since it's Friday and I've been thinking about command line options lately, I thought I'd find out who came up with the name of the --vanilla argument for R.
