similar to: what is the current correct repos structure for mac osx binaries?

Sorry, should have given more background. x11 works fine on all my systems when called by x11(). I'm the maintainer of a package that uses the animation library, which has performance issues when used with the RStudio plot device. But if you call plot.new() when using RStudio, you get an RStudio device, not the standard device for the platform because it overrides the device option.

Dear R-devel I have a function in a package that essentially provides a wrapper for a group of functions in another Suggested package (it sets appropriate defaults for the context, transforms output, etc). I've implemented this by verifying that the package was loaded with require(sna) and then do.call(snaFunName, args = args) The rDevel check is requesting that I use

Hi R-devl, I'm still unable to force opening an *interactive* non-Rstudio platform-specific plot device on *unix* systems. dev.new() add a new argument 'noRStudioGD' in R 3.1.1. Thank you. It works for me when using RStudio on Windows, but on the unix system it opens a pdf device instead of an interactive device when using an interactive RStudio session (with R_DEFAULT_DEVICE

Dear R-devs, I'm working on a package where we have a function that modifies an Object via .Call to a C function. Unfortunately in some situations this counterintuitive modifies a previously made copy of the object passed to the function. For example, if I first make an assignment to "copy" the object, b<-a and then modify 'a' , the value of 'b' will be

Dear R-devel, Recent versions of R CMD check have been flagging apparent S3 methods that are not registered in the NAMESPACE as such. In most situations this is very helpful. However, I have few cases in existing packages where we have unfortunately named functions using a "." in them that makes them appear as S3 methods when they are not. As there is no existing class

I'm trying to help someone to troubleshoot possible OSX Yosemite issues, but I've only got access to OSX (< 10.9) so I cannot check myself. When building/installing binary R packages, there are different binaries depending on OSX version. For instance, CRAN provides different binaries for 'OS X Snow Leopard' and 'OS X Mavericks', e.g.

Dear R devel, Is libcurl support required to run R.devel, or is it optional? I'm compiling R.devel on an older Debian machine that only has libcurl version 7.21.0 The R news file says " Sun, 25 Jan 2015 CHANGES IN R-devel NEW FEATURES Optional use of ?libcurl? (version 7.28.0 from Oct 2012 or later) for Internet access (including on Windows): ... CHANGES IN R-devel

hello I maintain the gsl R package, and many users have recently reported that the package does not install from source under macosx 10.9 ("mavericks"). Users typically install the gnu GSL library and are able to compile and run a small "hello world" program which executes some of the Bessel functionality of the library; but under mavericks the configure script (which uses

Hi Folks, I've recently transitioned to Debian 8.0 and was having a hard time getting Rmpi to work. I believed I'd successfully installed dependencies via > sudo apt-get install r-cran-rmpi > apt-show-versions r-cran-rmpi r-cran-rmpi:amd64/jessie 0.6-5-1 uptodate but when installing the package I was still getting checking mpi.h presence... no checking for mpi.h... no

Dear R-Devel, Note: I posted a similar message to R-sig-debian yesterday because I assumed it was a Debian issue, received response that it it may be more appropriate for r-devel since it involves building from the svn version. As of Oct 21, we are running into a build failure when trying to compile the development version of R from the svn repository. The problem still persists as of

Can you describe your problem a bit more? * What kind of unix system do you have? * Can you run other X11 programs? I had a similar issue, and the problem was that the computer was not set up to support X11. As a minimum, you have to install /xauth/, and potentially also other libraries if you want to install packages from source. Best, Ott On Fri, Sep 25, 2015 at 11:53 AM, Skye Bender-deMoll

Dear R-sig-debian, As of last night, we are running into a build failure when trying to compile the development version of R from the svn repository, Revision: 64090: ./configure && make -j4 distclean && ./configure && make -j4 [lots of normal compile output not shown...] building/updating vignettes for package 'utils' ... processing 'Sweave.Rnw' Error:

Dear R-devel, Question: How can I get Sweave to recognize that the \thebibliography section is already created and generate the vignette pdf with a single pass? Or is there a way to let R CMD build know that Sweave needs to be run twice? If (1) is not possible, any suggestions how to auto-generate a crude generic bibtex .bib file from my existing document? Background: I maintain

Hi all, The following fails for me (on OS X, although I imagine it's the same on other platforms using libcurl): options(download.file.method = "libcurl") options(repos = c(CRAN = "https://cran.rstudio.com/", CRANextra = "http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin")) install.packages("lattice") ## could be any package gives me: >

Dear r-devel-opers, I'm working on a package that does some plot-intensive work using the animation library. It turns out that this performs very badly in the RStudio plot device, which is the preferred IDE for our team. Our kludgy solution is to detect if the Rstudio device is running, and if so, open another plot device to do the rendering and close it when done:
