similar to: Problem with R CMD check and the inconsolata font business

I have just installed R version 2.14.0 and tried to re-build and re-check some of the packages that I maintain. I'm getting a warning (in the process of running R CMD check on my "deldir" package): > * checking PDF version of manual ... WARNING > LaTeX errors when creating PDF version. > This typically indicates Rd problems. > LaTeX errors found: > ! Font

R CMD check <package> gives me below message at the end. There does not seem to be a problem with my TeX installation. Is it possible that R CMD check is not looking in the correct location? How can this problem be fixed? Thanks, Naresh * checking PDF version of manual ... WARNING LaTeX errors when creating PDF version. This typically indicates Rd problems. LaTeX errors found: ! LaTeX

This is about LaTeX install and not about R. My problem was multiple installations of LaTeX: first using MacTex, then newer version using texlive. I had also tried to install then uninstall using MacPorts. It seems MacPorts uninstall was not clean. I had to manually delete several sym links. MacTex install inserts /etc/paths.d/TeX, which has the path /Library/TeX/texbin. So to get TeX to use

Hi, While using R CMD check I get the following Latex error message which occurs when creating PDF version of manual: LaTex error: File `inconsolata.sty' not found I am using Windows 7 (64-bit) and R 3.0.1. I have MikTex 2.9. I see that the incosolata.sty is present under \doc\fonts folder. How can I eliminate this problem? Thanks, Ravi [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Just to save someone else a few seconds of googling: when you try to R CMD check with recent versions of R-devel and you get * checking PDF version of manual ... WARNING LaTeX errors when creating PDF version. This typically indicates Rd problems. LaTeX errors found: ! LaTeX Error: File `inconsolata.sty' not found. the Debian/Ubuntu solution is: sudo apt-get install texlive-fonts-extra

Some while ago I posted a problem on this list concerning a failure of R CMD check on one of my packages that resulted from LaTeX being unable to find the "inconsolata" font. This was under the Ubuntu OS. This was solved, thanks to advice I got from this list, basically by doing sudo apt-get install texlive-fonts-extra I am now (for reasons which I won't go into) running

I am just in the middle of a conversation on the tex list but just in case you are about to post anything to your web site here is a slight simplification. It consists of updating the MiKTeX file database using initexmf instead of the GUI so you don't have to move back and forth during the instructions. The discussion there might correct or improve this further. Regards. --- 1. Create a

We use the inconsolata LaTeX package by default for monospaced text in R PDF manuals, including package reference manuals (so needed to R CMD check). You might find inconsolata.sty suddenly disappearing from your system: it happened to me with a MiKTeX update earlier this week. OTOH, TeXLive 2013 and MacTeX 2013, released on Tuesday, still have it. But I suspect a TeXLive update may change

Forwarded to R-Help, because I think it could interest people following this thread. Clearly, RServe and svSocket have different goals and very little overlap.

Hi, Please see below for post on r-help regarding data.frame() and the possibility of dropping rownames, for space and time reasons. I've made some changes, attached, and it seems to be working well. I see the expected space (90% saved) and time (10 times faster) savings. There are no doubt some bugs, and needs more work and testing, but I thought I would post first at this stage. Could some

Hi all, Does anyone know a solution for this error ? > tkwidget(dlg, "iwidgets::spinint", range="{0 23}") Error in structure(.External("dotTclObjv", objv, PACKAGE = "tcltk"), class = "tclObj") : [tcl] wrong # args: should be ".31.1.19 configure -range {begin end}".

Kurt, Uwe suggested I write to you as maintainer of chron ... at the start of is.weekend, in the check on the argument type, maybe just change chron() to as.chron()? This would ensure as.chron.POSIXt gets called on POSIXt arguments, and (I think) fixes the problem. I tested and it seems ok. No warning/error required. > is.weekend function(x) { if(!inherits(x, "dates"))

Hi, The following function works, but is there a neater way to write it? f = function(x,...) { # return a character vector of the arguments passed in after 'x' gsub(" ","",unlist(strsplit(deparse(substitute(list(...))),"[(,)]")))[-1] } > f(x,a,b,c*d) [1] "a" "b" "c*d" > Thanks. [[alternative HTML

Hi, In the example below why is d 10 times bigger than m, according to object.size ? It also takes around 10 times as long to create, which fits with object.size() being truthful. gcinfo(TRUE) also indicates a great deal more garbage collector activity caused by data.frame() than matrix(). $ R --vanilla .... > nr = 1000000 > system.time(m<<-matrix(integer(1), nrow=nr, ncol=2)) [1]

Hi, n = 10000000 L = list(a=integer(n), b=integer(n)) L[[2]][1:10] gives me the first 10 items of the 2nd vector in the list L. It works fine. However it appears to copy the entire L[[2]] vector in memory first, before subsetting it. It seems reasonable that "[[" can't know that all that is to be done is to do [1:10] on the result and therefore a copy in memory of the entire

Is it intended that the first suffix can no longer be blank? Seems to be caused by a bug fix to merge in R 2.15.0. $Rdevel --vanilla DF1 = data.frame(a=1:3,b=4:6) DF2 = data.frame(a=1:3,b=7:9) merge(DF1,DF2,by="a",suffixes=c("",".1")) Error in merge.data.frame(DF1, DF2, by = "a", suffixes = c("", ".1")) : there is already a column

Dear R-devel, REvolution appear to be offering ParallelR only when bundled with their R Enterprise edition. As such it appears to be non-free and closed source. http://www.revolution-computing.com/products/parallel-r.php Since R is GPL and not LGPL, is this a breach of the GPL ? Below is the "GPL and ParallelR" thread from their R forum. mdowle > It appears that ParallelR

Under the "further resources" section I'd like to suggest the following addition : * http://crantastic.org/ lists popular packages according to other users votes. Consider briefly reviewing the top 30 packages before posting to r-help since someone may have already released a package that solves your problem. Thats just a straw man idea so I hope there will be answer, or

Hello, Regarding this in R-devel/NEWS/New features : o ?library(pkg)? no longer warns about a conflict with a function from ?package:base? if the function is an identical copy of the base one but with a different environment. Why would one want an identical copy in a different environment? I'm thinking I may be missing out on a trick here. Matthew
