Hi, I've seen that some packages use .packageName internally to infer their own name. Is that officially supported? I could not find it documented anywhere. There's utils::packageName(), which internally looks for .packageName. However, if the latter is not found, it may return NULL whereas an error would be more appropriate if a package name is expected. Using .packageName would give

Hi All, I am encountering the following error while performing check on the R package we built: R CMD check packagename_0.99.0.tar.gz During startup - Warning message: Setting LC_CTYPE failed, using "C" * using R Under development (unstable) (2013-05-14 r62742) * using platform: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (64-bit) * using session charset: ASCII * checking for file

R CMD check --use-valgrind <packagename> used to run valgrind on the tests in the tests directory of the package. But it seems to have stopped. R-2.9.1 doesn't -- at least on my box -- and neither does R-2.10.0 (devel). I am not sure when this stopped. I think 2.8.x did this. The only old R I have around is 2.6.0 and it certainly does. R CMD check --help for 2.9.1 says (among other

Dear R Core Team, I'm wondering whether it is useful that every package should allow for help(PackageName), giving some general information about the package (more/nicer than library(help=PackageName)). This man page may include some mathematical or statistical background, or contain a guideline for the package. Cheers, Martin -- Martin Schlather email:

Background: OS: Linux Mandrake 10.1 release: R 2.1.1 editor: GNU Emacs 21.3.2 front-end: ESS 5.2.3 Colleagues Since I upgraded to R 2.1.1, I am getting a an error message from R CMD INSTALL packagename that says R_HOME ('/usr/local/lib/R') not found. That's not too surprising, since R is now in /usr/lib/R, but what is confusing me is that R CMD INSTALL -l /path/to/library

Hi all! I wanted to test the LLVM system. By reading the homepage I figured that llvm-gcc4 seemed the best way to go. I tried to follow the homepage and the instructions in README.LLVM Sometimes confusing but in retrospect not that hard. But I could not produce the .bc file with a simple program no matter how hard I tried. After some help from resistor in #llvm it became clear that I did not

Dear list memmbers, I would like to load a R library from a specified folder with library() and need help on how to call the command. The reason is that I am loading this library on a remote machine where I have no admin rights. Furthermore a library with the same name is already installed on that machine. I have modified this library slightly by modifying the source code and created a

Hi, in 'Writing R Extensions" of R v2.10.0, under Section 'Cross-references' (2009-09-07) it says: 1. "The markup \link{foo} (usually in the combination \code{\link{foo}}) produces a hyperlink to the help for foo. Here foo is a topic, that is the argument of \alias markup in another Rd file (possibly in another package)." 2. "You can specify a link to a different

I would like to have packages installed either in the early morning or whenever I manually choose to do so on a particular machine. I am trying to convert my existing configuration from cfengine so in that tool I had something like: packages: Hr03|ManualRun:: <package installation commands> This basically says to install packages if it''s either 3:00-3:59am or if

Dear all, Is there an elegant way to add citations of packages when using Sweave? Ideally I'd like a function which creates a Bibtex-file with the packagenames as keys. The idea is to use \cite{packagename} or \cite{R} in LaTeX. I know you can get the Bibtex entry with toBibtex(citation("packagename")). But after updating R or a package one needs to update the bib-file too. When

Hi, I sent this to the Bioconductor mailing list (q.v.), replies recommended this forum. Here it is: A suggestion. Typically a package provides documentation of two types, one or more vignettes and a reference manual; and they have the same file name, PackageName.pdf. When downloaded some file name manipulation is required, or accept PackageName(1).pdf. I suggest the documents be given

Hi all, I have a package that contains a function foo that calls a function .fooInternal via match.fun('.fooInternal'). This step is necessary because I want to give the user an option to override .fooInternal with a custom function. The .fooInternal function name is not exported. The function foo runs perfectly well when used in a normal R session. However, the function fails the R CMD

Hello fellow CentOS'ers- I'm trying to install a package from a not-to-be-named repository (privately operated for some proprietary software). They currently have a package I need but offer multiple versions. However, if I simply 'yum install packagename' it defaults to pulling down the most recent package. I would like to pull down the older version of the package but I'm

guys, i have installed mailscanner, spamassassin, etc on my machine. This was done sometime ago. Some of these rpms i got not frm centos repos. What command ( or yum command ) can i use to find out which repo did this installled package come from. yum info packagename just says; repo : installed i was hoping for something like repo:rpmforge or something similiar. i have these 3 rpms

Prof. Brian Ripley solved the problem. He wrote: > I was not aware that this works with relative paths for any version > of R. Try using a full path, which always works for me. I tried it using a full path, and bingo! It worked like a charm. Under Unix the relative path also works, but. Prof. Ripley also remarked: > If indeed your filesystem is readonly, you will have problems
