Martin, Well, thanks for jumping in! We need all the help we can get ;) I changed the execute bit as you suggested and recompiled, no luck, still the same error message. Below is the output you wanted me to look at, its a bit beyond me so I include both a brief grep summary and then the whole enchilada. I do note that my output is different from yours, but I'm not sure how to interpret. I

Hi, I am having trouble submitting a form using the RCurl package. My code runs without errors but doesn't return the table I am after. I have a feeling it is because there are 2 submit buttons on the page and I'm not hitting the right one. I have tried everything I can think of to submit the form correctly but with no luck. My current code is as follows. library(RCurl) library(XML)

Dear developers, I have come across a (somewhat strange) change in the encoding of Sweave output from R-2.9.2pat to R-2.10.0beta (apparently specific to Rgui) on Windows installations. Of course, the NEWS file contains quite a few changes concerning encoding, but I was not able to locate an entry which explains the observed behaviour. I am not very familiar with encodings/locales/codepages,

Dear list, I have a balance connected to the serial port of a windows machine ("COM1") and I read the text output of the balance with scan("COM1", what="character", sep="\n", n=1) after calling the previous line I press the print key on the balance which triggers sending one line of text to the serial connection and with R 2.9.2 I get something like Read

Dear list-member, I am currently developing a package with S4 classes. The NAMESPACE and DESCRIPTION is printed below. Within this package I have set a method "residuals" for two classes. In version 2.8.1 these two are reported whereas in R-Devel (2009-01-28 r47766). What have I missed? What has changed and how can I rectify the issue? Your help and pointers are welcome. For 2.8.1:

Dear list subscriber, I am quite puzzled by the behaviour of processing Sweave files within an R session, i.e. Sweave("foo.Rnw") versus R CMD Sweave foo.Rnw In the former the environmental variable 'SWEAVE_STYLEPATH_DEFAULT = TRUE' is obeyed (this is set in etc/Renviron.site as well as under the users home directory in .Renviron). That is the hard-coded path to Sweave.sty is

Dear list-subscriber, in the process of writing a general code snippet to extract coefficients in an expression (in the example below: 0.5 and -0.7), I stumbled over the following peculiar (at least peculiar to me:-) ) sorting behaviour of the function all.names(): > expr1 <- expression(x3 = 0.5 * x1 - 0.7 * x2) > all.names(expr1) [1] "-" "*" "x1"

Is there a way, maybe using Duncan TL's RCurl, to efficiently test whether an URL such as http://$CRAN/src/contrib/ has changed? I.e. one way is via a test of a page in that directory as per (sorry about the long line, and this would be on Linux with links and awk installed) > strptime(system("links -width 160 -dump http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/ | awk

Hello R, To analyze multi-level data, I started learning and using lmer. So far so wonderful. I then found some useful functions in package languageR. But then the following problem ocurred: Whenever I load and use the languageR package, then save the workspace - or quit R with saving the workspace - I am unable to reload that workspace in a later session. That is, R doesn't start at all
