similar to: Error w/ Start up Script

Hi Guys, I am new to R and just trying to write a small script to automate a couple commands. But I run into the setwd(): cannot change working directory. I googled a little bit and tried all fixes/suggestions with no success. Basically I have a script that works from inside a directory with my data (/home/sean/Rtest/Data01). Now I want to modify the script to make it run from the upper directory

I got the following warnings when I install R.oo. Are these warnings normal? Should I reinstall the package as mentioned in the warnings? How to reinstall? The sessionInfo() is at the end. > install.packages("R.oo", dependencies=T) Warning in install.packages("R.oo", dependencies = T) : argument 'lib' is missing: using '/utility/R' also installing the

Hello, I am on a laptop with Win7, running R-2.12.1 if I click on Packages/InstallPackages I get : > utils:::menuInstallPkgs() Warning: unable to access index for repository http://cran.skazkaforyou.com/bin/windows/contrib/2.12 Warning: unable to access index for repository http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/windows/contrib/2.12 Error in install.packages(NULL, .libPaths()[1L], dependencies

Hi, I am trying to load into R a MATLAB format file (actually, as saved by octave). The file is about 300kB but R complains with a memory allocation error: > library(Rcompression) > library(R.matlab) Loading required package: R.oo Loading required package: R.methodsS3 R.methodsS3 v1.2.0 (2010-03-13) successfully loaded. See ?R.methodsS3 for help. R.oo v1.7.2 (2010-04-13) successfully

Hi all, I'm trying to do some object-oriented programming in R using the R.oo package. Right from the start I encountered a strange (at least for me) problem. I define a new class/constructor based on the R.oo documentation. However the first attempt to create an object fails: === Code: === library(R.oo); setConstructorS3("MyClass",function(param) { print(param);

Having loaded a package that masks an object from another package, calling help(conflictedname, help_type = 'html') instead of producing a page giving the choices of help page available The page produced is Error in httpd("/library/NULL/help/nobs", NULL, NULL, c(48, 6f, 73, 74, : replacement has length zero This example is reproduced using library(gdata) help(nobs,

Hello: A call to help(..., help_type='text') fails with "package='fda": > install.packages('fda') > help(package='fda', help_type='text') Error in formatDL(nm, txt, indent = max(nchar(nm, "w")) + 3) : incorrect values of 'indent' and 'width' I have this wrapped inside "try" in

Hi, I' using Ubuntu 10.10/11.04 and on both of the systems help doesn't work unless I set options(help_type="html"). I hate to change context and help_type='html' distracts me. I want text based help inside console. Where should I look to fix this problem? -- Amol

I'm not 100% sure this hasn't been covered already (I searched a bit, but I had a little trouble filtering down to a useful number of useful results). Anyway, when I install R on Windows, the installer asks to set the default help type. For some reason, I can set it as HTML in the installer, but the results open as if help_type = "text" by default. I presume this is related to

This error can arise when getOption("width") is too small. 80 seems to be the limit for me with R-3.3.2 on Windows.

After a clean install of R 4.0.0 (R-base only) on Mint 19.3, the directory /usr/lib/R/library/base/html is empty. However, the directory /usr/lib/R/library/boot/html contains files 00Index.html and R.css. Correspondingly, the command help(package="base", help_type="html") produces the text "No package index found for package base". The same occurs when clicking

This is the first time that I have tried to update packages with a tinkered around with .Rprofile. I start R with R --vanilla and it does not load my .Rprofile, but when I issue the command update.packages() R downloads the packages as expected, but then seems to load .Rprofile before compiling the packages sources. What am I doing wrong? kindest regards, Stephen Sefick see- Session info

I'm trying to diagnose a bizarre problem in which the help files invoked from R are partially defective. help(), for instance, is missing the Description, Arguments and See Also sections; as are help files for other commands (see below). I've built 2.8.1, 2.10.1 and HEAD with the same results; do I need to set an environment or configuration variable? help

All, 1. I will try and make this clear and concise. Please let me know any information that would be helpful in figuring out this problem (I don't know the relevant information to post). I am on linux- see below for session information. 2. Problem: working directory: home an old version of a function is sourced into the R session and doesn't work working directory: Desktop the

Hi, I have options(help_type="html") in my .Rprofile and when I type ?foo, the man page appears as a new tab in my web browser (which is already running). Fine. However, when I type ??foo, rather than the results appearing in a new tab, a new instance of the web browser is spawned with the default homepage displayed. Same with help.search("foo"). Am I the only one seeing this?

Calling library(..., quietly=TRUE) may still output: Loading required package: <other pkg> in some cases, e.g. > library("R.utils", quietly=TRUE) Loading required package: R.methodsS3 [...] I traced this to base:::.getRequiredPackages2(), which forgets to pass 'quietly' to an internal library() call: if (!attached) { if (!quietly)

Using R on Linux I want to force downloaded packages to go into /usr/local/lib/R/site-library. I have an .Rprofile file in my home directory containing the following: options(help_type='html', browser='chromium-browser', repos='http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/languages/R/CRAN', lib='/usr/local/lib/R/site-library') But sometimes install.packages (with R run as

I don't understand the advantages of generating html help dynamically, but I have found some clear disadvantages. One is that I can no longer use a bookmark in my browser to access the list of packages and go from there to individual help pages. The other is that, if I try to use ESS instead (using options(help_type="html") in .Rprofile) - it is a mess. ESS splits the emacs frame

Dear all Shouldn't this start the html help for the chosen package? > help(package="boot", help_type = "html") Instead, the text version is displayed in less (I believe). However, I have no issues to start the html help with the following. > help.start() starting httpd help server ... done If 'xdg-open' is already running, it is *not* restarted, and you must

I'm trying to get help to print the help pages in html format to the terminal. This is in order to be able to see the html help files remotely. If I do printURL = function(file) {a=readLines(url(file));cat(a,sep="\n")} options(browser=printURL) options(help_type="html") then invoking help with ?print gets stuck. I think what happens is that the web server run by R that
