Hi, I just recently changed my OS to Ubuntu 12.04 (32bit). Now I tried to install some packages required by my old and working scripts. Unfortunately I fail when trying to install the package "xslx".

Hello, I'm using range do define boundaries for a linear model, so the line I graph is only graphed for the range of data. There are NAs in the data, but I dont remember this being a problem before. I typed na.action=na.omit anyway, which has usually solved any NA issues in the past. Any idea why R cant do vector functions for these data? Solution? Thanks, Colin Wahl M.S. Biology candidate

I am failing to get compactPDF to make any change to a pdf file that, a/c to the message from the CRAN upload site, can be very substantially compacted. Any ideas what may be wrong?

A user question today has me stumped. Can you advise me, please? User wants a matrix that has some numbers, some variables, possibly even some function names. So that has to be a character matrix. Consider: > BM <- matrix("0.1", 5, 5) Use data.entry(BM) or similar to set some to more abstract values. > BM[3,1] <- "a" > BM[4,2] <- "b" >

I have a data.frame named "df". The dput of df is at the bottom of this e-mail. What I'd like to do is replace the "n/a " values with NA. On Mac OSX, it works to do this: df[df == "n/a"] <- NA However, it does not work on Ubuntu. See below. Thanks in advance, Garrett > x <- df[27, 4] # complete data.frame dput is below > dput(x) "n/a?"

Dear all, I have a problem with the command 'getURL' from the RCurl package, which I have been using to obtain a ftp directory list from the MOD16 (ET, DSI) products, and then to download them.

I'd like to follow up on this one. It may be that I have misunderstood something, but on both R devel (2012-02-22 r58452) and R 2.14.1 patched (2012-02-18 r58394) I can't seem to avoid loading ~/.Rprofile when I run 'R CMD <cmd>', e.g. R CMD build. For me, the loading of ~/.Rprofile by 'R CMD' started a few weeks ago, and I haven't seen it before. More details

Most of my animations that used to work on windows() version 2.11.1 and earlier now flash as if the double buffering is turned off or buffer swapping is triggered by other events than in the past.

Dear R Helpers, I am still having trouble with the getOptionChain command in quantmod.
