Hello, I have come across two separate packages that have a Makefile in inst/doc which use the R_HOME variable. In both cases, the path to R_HOME gets munged in such a way that commands that include R_HOME fail on Windows: For example, one Makefile, for the xmapcore package ( https://hedgehog.fhcrc.org/bioconductor/trunk/madman/Rpacks/xmapcore/username/password: readonly) has this:

First I tried 'setenv R_SHELL /usr/local/bin/bash', as bash is the weapon of choice for the faculty wishing to use R, then ran ./configure as before. The ./configure output line using as R_SHELL for scripts ... /usr/local/bin/bash would seem to indicate that the R_SHELL environment variable was recognized and acknowledged. However, I got the same build error: gnumake[2]: Entering

Hi, I run into a problem with "R CMD Rd2dvi" command: it gives me "File `Rd.sty' not found" error (See the output message on the bottom). I get the same error when running "RCMD check". My system is: Windows 2000, R version 2.0.1, MiKTeX version 2.4. I do have a Rd.sty file in R_HOME/share/texm directory. I looked through newsgroups for any related discussions

The make variable $(R_SHARE_DIR) seems to be available for use in tests/Makefile when running under Linux, but not Windows (R-2.6.2, R-2.6.1, R-2.7.0 alpha 2008-04-06, under Windows XP 64 bit, built locally for 32 bit). Is this intentional, or an oversight? Is it OK to use $(R_HOME)/share instead (seems to work OK)? I notice the following in /src/gnuwin32/front-ends/rcmdfn.c (from R-alpha

We are trying to setup a Windows server that will allow any of our users to build a binary R package given a source package. The idea is to have a central R installation and allow users to install packages to their own package library for the purposes of binary package building. It seems, however, that write access to $R_HOME is required as part of the install step even when -l is used to

Hi, 'R CMD build' (with R 2.12.0 RC) fails to clean the src/ folder on Windows: D:\biocbld\bbs-2.7-bioc>ls meat/BUS/src BUS.cpp BUS.h D:\biocbld\bbs-2.7-bioc>R\bin\R CMD build meat\BUS * checking for file 'meat\BUS/DESCRIPTION' ...

Hi I am still trying to wrap up a package using Rcmd (in windows 2000 professional with R 1.8.1). I have made some progress - and now at least Rcmd check works - it still giving me an error message when it creates latex help files though. Thus I get: c:\rpack> Rcmd check test * checking for working latex ... OK * using log directory 'C:/rpacks/test.Rcheck' * checking for file

Dear R-users, I want to give a try to Sweave and Latex but I am having some problems compiling my .Rnw files within Kile. I have followed the recommendations given in http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e5/help/08/10/4277, but they do not seem to address my particular problem. I am using R 2.11.0 and Kile v 2.0.83 on an OpenSUSE11.2 installation (KDE 4.3 environment). According to the log (see

Hi, This is a follow up to: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2010-July/057921.html The Bioconductor daily builds have been reporting a lot of strange things lately on Windows using R-2.12. This started 2 or 3 months ago and things are not getting better with recent R-2.12. Here is a sample from today's build results. We use Windows Server 2003 R2 for the 32-bit builds, Windows

Hi, I'm trying to use Sweave in my .tex-documents using \usepackage{Sweave} notation. I have this line in my .bash_profile export TEXINPUT=.:/Users/jrara/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/share/texmf:$TEXINPUTS When trying to typeset this .tex document, I get an error message saying ERROR: LaTeX Error: File `Sweave.sty' not found. I tried to google this problem but could not

I am trying to compile the R-dev sources on WinXP using mingw 3.1.0-1 and fpTeX 0.7. In the past I have been able to build the sources fine but now I receive an error in the process that I havent seen reported on the list before. Everything works fine until I get to 'make docs'. I now get the message below while building the R-admin manual (refman.pdf builds fine) and the make process

Hi, Why isn't 'R CMD check --force-multiarch' installing the package for all the architectures that are going to be checked? For some packages, it only installs for the default arch ('i386'). Then testing the package for 'x64' fails. For example, Output of R CMD check --force-multiarch fabia_1.5.0.tar.gz: ----------------------------------------------------------- *

I am currently writing a (private) package in which I produce pdf files from within R using LaTeX. To do so I mainly copied some lines from the buildVignettes() function in the tools package. This uses the texi2dvi which is included in R's bin directory: system(paste(file.path(R.home(), "bin", "texi2dvi"), "--quiet --pdf", bft)) This runs

Dear All, I have been checking the metafor package against R-devel. R CMD check --as-cran metafor yields one note: FOSS licence with BuildVignettes: false Yes, I have 'BuildVignettes: FALSE' in my DESCRIPTION file. I see at http://developer.r-project.org/blosxom.cgi/R-devel/NEWS: Tue, 25 Jun 2013 CHANGES IN R-devel UTILITIES 'R CMD check --as-cran' warns about a false

Hello, I'm seeing three different vignette-related errors with recent versions of R-3.0.0 alpha. First, with the package BitSeq (http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.12/bioc/html/BitSeq.html), I get the following when trying to build the package: Error: processing vignette ?BitSeq.Rnw' failed with diagnostics: Failed to locate the ?weave? output file (by engine ?utils::Sweave?) for

Hello all, I've been able to use R very successfully to run simple statistics and generate the plots I require. I've been evaluating Sweave, and have hit upon a small problem that I don't seem to be able to workaround. Sweave runs very well for single file latex documents, but I have a complex thesis made up of several parts and chapters. These are arranged with a master latex file

I have setup R 1.9.1 on my Dell laptop running windows XP. I have installed it to C:\R\rw1091. Rgui runs fine, but Rcmd fails if run with parameters (i.e. install). The windows dialog box cheerfully says "R for Windows front-end has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Running the visual C++ debugger informs me that there is an unhandled

Hello, I am trying to build the R-2.11.1 software for university faculty to use in research projects on a DEC/Compaq/HP AlphaServer model GS160 16CPU/64GB memory running Tru64Unix aka OSF1 version 5.1B-5. Is it known whether it is possible to build the R-2.11.1 software on the platform I am using? In my attempts to build the R-2.11.1 software, I first used the native C and Fortran 77/90/95
