I was trying to be cute with a company-internal package and used if (Sys.info()["sysname"]=="Windows") { update.packages(repos="http://some.where.internal/R", ask=FALSE) } but that of course fails as the package itself is loaded and cannot be upgraded (as it contains a dll) when loaded. Smart move by the OS. Can anybody suggest a workaround, other

Hello, I am unable to start an R session by double-clicking on an existing .RData file from the Windoze file explorer. A dialogue appears with the message "Fatal error: unable to restore saved data in .RData", and I notice in the R Console the last few lines are: "Loading required package: R2HTML NULL error in function () : unused argument(s) (1:43)" I tried starting

Hi I cannot seem to create any files that have the name "CON" before the file extension, i.e. all of the following fail: > pdf("CON.pdf") Error in pdf("CON.pdf") : unable to start device pdf > jpeg('CON.jpeg') Error in jpeg("CON.jpeg") : unable to start device devWindows > png('CON.png') Error in png("CON.png") : unable

Hello, I have a CentOS 7 client running on a CentOS 7 server.  "virsh --version" reports that 3.9.0 is being used. I'm issuing a "virsh shutdown" command to shutdown the client.  I then confirm that the client has actually shutdown using "virsh list --all". Lately I've been seeing instances where I shutdown the client, turn away to work on something else, and

I have a question about antialiasing when R generates bitmaps. (This follows a thread on the ggplot2 mailing list.) I mostly use R on Linux, although I sometimes use it in Mac and Windows as well. On Linux, I've found that plotting shapes 15-18 via cairo results in bad-looking output. The points are not antialiased, and they are jagged and misshapen. Plots generated in Windows also aren't

At office, using the internal LAN at my disposal, I'm having a go at parallel computing - to begin with - with pvm, rpvm & snow.

Hello List, on a windows-pc are files with an EURO-Sign "?" included in the filenames. This is working between all XP and 2000 Clients. But if i try to access such a file from a linux-box, I cannot read this files. I switched to the german charset with EURO Sign but no success. Then i tried the cifs instead of smbfs. But the same effect. Switching to UTF-8 doesn't work too.

​No, sorry, it's actually failing on "configure" which this script calls. I should have been more clear. ./configured is failing at step: ​*Checking uname sysname type* It's obviously missing some app/header/library, but reading through all the breakpoints listed in the error (re-pasted below) I can't make out from the code what it's looking for, and the config.log

Might this be related to the Linux version? I'm testing on one of our university servers, and they tend to be deprived of regular updates sometimes... (Dirk, sorry for sending you this twice.) > Sys.info() sysname "Linux" release

Has anyone had any luck with moving files outside of /tftpboot? Its been particularly frustrating in my environment to support files within this directory. Especially since I support three different architectures and need to differentiate their boot loaders, kernels, configs, initrd's, etc. I'd really like to symlink off to my AFS space and let the sysname values do the work. Is there a

I am (for my sins) having to do some work using R under Windoze. I wanted to set up a .Rprofile to control my set-up. The docs on .Rprofile say that it can/should be placed in ``the user's home directory''. ``An Introduction to R'' observes lucidly that this concept needs to be clarified under Windoze. Following the suggestions in An Introduction to R, I tried putting a

Hi, After updating to R 2.7, my .Rprofile executes twice on startup. I confirmed this by putting in the following line: print("starting .Rprofile...") When I start R, I see: [1] "starting .Rprofile..." [1] "starting .Rprofile..." This seems like the obverse of the following FAQ:

The x11() window can be a nuisance to have popping up at startup (esp. on small screens) when you're not working with graphics. However, currently you can't get rid of it without modifying the systemwide Rprofile. Current logic is: Run $RHOME/library/Rprofile if ./.Rprofile exists run it else if $HOME/.Rprofile exists run that endif I think it should be Run $RHOME/library/Rsetup if

In my shell environment, I have set a path to R_PROFILE_USER. The file, Rprofile.R, is a collection of small hacks. I want to build rstudio-server from source. Best is to $ unset R_PROFILE_USER before. Unfortunately, this has no effect on my system. ----------------------------------------------- poisonivy at poppy ?? ~ % R *** Successfully loaded .Rprofile *** Welcome back poisonivy working

Hello, I'm having some difficulty understanding the documentation relative to the startup files with R-Aqua 2.0.1 for Mac OS X. Specifically, I'm wondering: where does R search for the startup files (my home directory at Users:<me>:?); how should they be named (.RProfile will be treated by Mac OS X as a system file and be hidden, so I'm wondering if it should just be

It seems that my Rprofile.site file is not executed when I start R. To test this I included the following code in that file: .First <- function(){ cat("\nWelcome at", date(), "\n") flush.console() } When I start R the message above is not displayed. I am running R 2.6.1 (rgui.exe) under Vista Home Premium. The Rprofile.site is in the etc folder and the R_PROFILE

I'm trying to source a file automatically every time I start R. I tried adding the following .First function in a file Rprofile.site in my $R_HOME/etc/ directory (verified $R_HOME by Sys.getenv()) as well as in a file .Rprofile in my $HOME directory and .Rprofile in the working directory: .First <- function(){ source(file.path(Sys.getenv("HOME"), "R",

I set uniquename = MYHOST in asterisk.conf (under [options]) so that my uniqueid data shows up as MYHOST.time.seq. First of all, I would like to know if uniquename (or sysname?) will still be valid across future * versions (mainly 1.6). Secondly, is there a way to specify uniquename as an asterisk option at the command line? (asterisk -h doesn't show me anything regarding this feature)

?Startup says: "Note that when the site and user profile files are sourced only the base package is loaded, so objects in other packages need to be referred to by e.g. utils::dump.frames or after explicitly loading the package concerned." So you need utils::installed.packages and utils::install.packages . Duncan Murdoch On 21/03/2023 8:04 a.m., PIKAL Petr wrote: > Dear all.

dear wizards: my .Rprofile has just one command for testing, loadhistory("~/.Rhistory") but this gives me an error on R startup: Error: couldn't find function "loadhistory" Invoking loadhistory() as the first interactive command works fine; incidentally, I believe loadhistory() in the .Rprofile worked in earlier or other platform R releases, too. Is the .Rprofile
