Is the anonymous CVS repository for R presently broken? There haven't been many updates coming through and the repository files seem to differ significantly from the rsync version of R-devel...

Hello, I've been playing around w/ the new dynamic C symbol stuff (thank you for doing that!) in the, um, 5/11/01 R-devel package and, unless I've missed something incredibly obvious, there doesn't appear to be a mechanism for registering functions of an embedding executable. It seems like this would be a Good Thing to have. Since I'm doing most of my work in Windows at the

So PCRE dropped into R-devel recently, I tried just dropping 3.9 (latest version) into src/extra/pcre and compiling on Win32 but its dying during the final link (undefined reference to 'pcre_free') is there some special magic I'm missing or do I get to hunt this one down on my own?

I encountered some wierdness when building R-devel (latest rsync) on OSX using commandline tools (as opposed to the Carbon GUI and whatnot...probably just laziness on my part but it generally works :-)). At any rate, sometime between 2002-07-05 and the present the configure scripts started setting INSTALL_DATA to ${R_HOME}/bin/install -c in Makeconf...which causes wierdness for the Mac OSX

For the last, I dunno, week or so I've been unable to build R... I finally took the time to investigate and the crash is in building 'methods': all.R is unchanged ../../../library/methods/man/methods.Rd is unchanged make[2]: `Makedeps' is up to date. ../../../../library/methods/libs/methods.so is unchanged make[1]: Nothing to be done for `Rfiles'. Any clues to where this

Hi all (especially R-core) I suppose, With the introduction of the new functional programming functions into base I thought I'd ask for a Curry() function. I use a simple one that looks this: Curry = function(FUN,...) { .orig = list(...);function(...) do.call(FUN,c(.orig,list(...))) } This comes in really handy when using say, heatmap():

Some quick questions about S4 methods. Does the typing of S4 methods mean that lazy evaluation is no longer possible? It seems that you would need to evaluate the arguments to determine their type at dispatch. Second, what role, if any, do default arguments play in S4 methods? I notice that you can put default arguments into generics but that the dispatch is still done on the type of the

Full_Name: Byron Ellis Version: R 1.9.0 (and 2.0.0) OS: Linux (Redhat Fedora Core) Submission from: (NULL) (140.247.241.197) It appears that `R CMD build` cannot handle spaces in the path when building packages for distribution.

Hello folks, I'm embarking on a project to embed R into the Apache web server, and I'd like your help. Currently, I'm looking for a way for R code to call back into a shared library from which the R shared library was loaded. Essentially, apache starts and loads mod_R.so which runs an initialization routine which calls Rf_initEmbeddedR() and the following code: /* override to

Hi all, I'm having a problem with some sort of interaction with try() and methods, I think. The setup is as follows, I have an S4 class that holds an environment and I would like to evaluate the right hand side of a function inside that environment. No problem there. However, if the formula involves a symbol that doesn't exist, which may or may not happen, it fails as it should and

Could it be possible for packages to have manuals in multiple languages? I'm not saying all manuals should be in multiple languages, but I think there should be a mechanism for package writers to add manuals in multiple languages, if they think it useful. -- Peter Kleiweg

Dear all, does anyone know if there exists an effort to bring some kind of distributed computing to R? The most simple functionality I'm after is to be able to explicitly perform a task on a computing server. Sorry if this is a non-informed newbie question...

So, consider the following: > example(glm) > g = function(model) { w = runif(9);glm(model,weights=w); } > g(counts ~ outcome + treatment) Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : object "w" not found Huh?! I suspect that somebody is lazily evaluating arguments in the wrong environment (probably GlobalEnv in this case). I'm willing to accept the fact that there's

Full_Name: Byron Ellis Version: 2.4.1 OS: N/A Submission from: (NULL) (75.55.126.10) R_tryEval is implied to be in the public API by 'Embedding R in Other Applications,' but not documented in 'Writing R Extensions.' This would seem to be an oversight given the dependence of many applications including but not limited to the official OS X GUI on this function.
