Dear R People: I just installed R-2.10.0 on Karmic Koala Ubuntu, via the sudo apt-get install r-base, etc. However, when I try to install an Rcmdr Plugin package, I get the following: > install.packages("RcmdrPlugin.qual",depen=TRUE) Warning in install.packages("RcmdrPlugin.qual", depen = TRUE) : argument 'lib' is missing: using

Dear R Development People: I have written a couple of plugins for Rcmdr and they do not seem to work with R-2.11.0.

In R-beta (Masked Marvel), when I do the example from the read.pnm help file, this is what happens: x <- read.pnm(system.file("pictures/logo.pgm",package="pixmap")[1]) Warning message: In rep(cellres, length=2): x is NULL so the result will be NULL In R-2.15.3, it's all right.

Dear R People: I'm trying to build a package and am stuck on the last part; I keep getting "there is no library".

Dear Debian People: Is there a way to run a little script (on Ubuntu Manic Meerkat) every hour, please? I know that this is more of a LINUX/UNIX question rather than an R question. Sorry.

Dear R People: I have a question about a "sorting" problem, please. I have a vector xx: > xx [1] -2.0 1.4 -1.2 -2.2 0.4 1.5 -2.2 0.2 -0.4 -0.9 and a vector of breaks: > xx.y [1] -2.2000000 -0.9666667 0.2666667 1.5000000 I want to produce another vector z which contains the number of the class that each data point is in. for instance, xx[1] is between xx.y[1] and

Dear R Debian People: I have put this on regular R help as well, but thought that I'd try here too. I updated to R-2.10.0 on Ubuntu Karmic Koala via apt-get update, apt-get install. Then I had a problem that said that I need MASS <= R-2.9.2. Fair enough. Uwe Ligges was kind enough to point out that I needed to use > update.packges(checkBuilt=TRUE) So I did. Now the menu on Rcmdr

Dear R Developers: Why is it that the singular value decomposition is used when running regression with arima, please? I've been looking for a reference for that but have come up empty so far.

Dear R Development People: I was trying to build R-2.12.2 from source on a Windows XP machine. Doing the make all recommended works fine, but building the bitmap dll is a problem. It seems to be in the libpng directory. I got libpng-1.5.1, and untarred it. However, there is no makefile.mingw file in the scripts directory. I then obtained a version of libpng-1.4.5, and the file is there.

Dear R Debian People: I have a desktop which has both Windows and Debian operating systems. If I am on the Debian side, is there a way to access file from the Windows side, please?

Hello. I am creating a new RcmdrPlugin package. However, I am getting some very odd messages. R CMD build RcmdrPlugin.gstats_1.0.0 ERROR cannot change to directory ?RcmdrPlugin.gstats_1.0.0? es-macbook-air:~ emhodgess$ R CMD check RcmdrPlugin.gstats_1.0.0 Warning: ?RcmdrPlugin.gstats_1.0.0? is neither a file nor directory, skipping es-macbook-air:~ emhodgess$ cd RcmdrPlugin.gstats/

r-package-devel is probably a better place to post this, especially if you do not get a satisfactory reply here. This list is about R programming, as you presumably know; your query is not.

Dear R People: When the D function is used for a symbolic derivative, an expression is returned, which is fine. How do you change that expression to a function, please? I've been experimenting with substitute and deparse, but no success yet. This is R 1.8.0 for Windows. thanks in advance for the help! Sincerely, Erin Hodgess mailto: hodgess at gator.uhd.edu

Dear R People: In the function "decompose", the object has the class of "decomposed.ts". (from package stats) I would like to see the class definition and the method for the plotting. However, when I use isClass("decomposed.ts") I get "FALSE". When I check getMethods("plot") there is no method for plot on decomposed.ts Any suggestions,
