hi. i'm building a package using autotools. to propagate the package version number from configure.ac to DESCRIPTION, i'm using a DESCRIPTION.in file. both of these files are "shar"'d below. i need to distribute the DESCRIPTION.in file, as ./configure will need it. but, "R CMD check" wants to look at DESCRIPTION, so i've let that also come into the package

Hello, I''m trying to install/update rmagick on a Debian machine using: gem install --local rmagick-2.10.0.gem and get following error: /usr/local/bin/ruby extconf.rb install --local rmagick-2.10.0.gem checking for Ruby version >= 1.8.5... yes checking for gcc... yes checking for Magick-config... yes Warning: Found more than one ImageMagick installation.

Hi All, was trying to install eterm rpm, and got the below dependencies errors, Eterm-0.9.3-1.i386.rpm [root at status1 eterm]# rpm -Uvh Eterm-0.9.3-1.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: imlib2 is needed by Eterm-0.9.3-1.i386 imlib2-loader_jpeg is needed by Eterm-0.9.3-1.i386 imlib2-loader_png is needed by Eterm-0.9.3-1.i386 libImlib2.so.1 is needed by

Full_Name: Kimmo Uusitalo Version: 1.8.0-1 OS: Debian 3.0 "Woody" Submission from: (NULL) (128.214.205.4) r-gnome 1.8.0-1 requires gdk-imlib2 which is not available in Debian 3.0 stable. I have the following in /etc/apt/sources.list : deb http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian woody main Btw, it would be very nice to have the newest version of R even for Debian stable.

Am I correct in thinking that the ?SystemRequirements? field in a package DESCRIPTION file is purely descriptive, there are no standard elements that can be extracted by parsing it and used automatically? This field does not seem to be widely used, even for some obvious cases like backend database driver requirements, perl, perl modules, etc. It might help to have a list of possibilities. Some

hi. i'd like to instantiate sed(1), send it some input, and retrieve its output, all via pipes (rather than an intermediate file). my sense from pipe and looking at the sources (sys-unix.c) is that is not possible. is that true? are there any thoughts of providing such a facility? cheers, Greg

Hi, I've added kate support to liboggplay (a prerequisite to getting kate tracks to work with the mozilla plugin, which I've now got working on Linux). In addition to the Kate code: - a new oggplay-uninstalled.pc file - configure.ac checks for C++ compiler - no check for fishsound version - it wanted 0.8.0, but the svn itself was 0.7.1 !? - don't use imlib2 (nor dump-first-frame) if

hi. this is sort of a software methodology question. i'm working on developing a package (with C source code). developing it, i use autotools, git, make, and such like. as a result, there are random files in my source code directory that "R CMD check" would rather not see. some of these files (such as .git and friends) i could arrange to move to "just above" my

hi. below is a small test case (hopefully minimal, though i'm still a bit confused about initializers). i would have guessed (and maybe i still would have been right) that one could re-use the name of a generic function for functions with different numbers of arguments. in the case below, class A's bB() queries the status of a single A object, so bB(A) (where here "A" is an

Chuck and Greg, Thanks a lot for your help! I have a much better understanding now of what is happening ?under the hood?.

Gabor, thanks. yes, managing the two-way communication is always a bit error-prone, as it depends on the input/output characteristics of the two ends -- they either match, or deadlock. it's too bad if polling is always *required* -- i'd think sometimes a programmer would be happy blocking, though other times one wants better control over when to block. cheers, Greg

Hi, I noticed recently when installing the GDD package for R under GNU/Linux that it required the gd library (http://libgd.org/) for generating graphics. The resolution of this was to simply install the library on my system, and then GDD successfully installed without any complaints. However, the variant of GNU/Linux that I use is Gentoo, so I filed a bug requesting that a USE flag be set for

Hello all, I am trying to get a better understanding of the underlying code for the stats::dpois function in R and, specifically, what happens under the hood when it is called. I finally managed to track down the C course at: https://github.com/wch/r-source/blob/trunk/src/nmath/dpois.c. It would seem that the dpois C function is taking a double for each of the x and lambda arguments so I am a bit

Announcing cran2deb: 1700+ Debian packages from almost all of CRAN ------------------------------------------------------------------ Last Friday's presentation at UseR! 2009 was the first really public mention of 'cran2deb'. It provides Debian packages of all of CRAN. It started as Charles' project from last year's Google Summer of Code, was further extended by us over the

Dear R-developers, Bioc-developers, I am working on an R package which provides a R binding to a C library, which again depends on two other "non-standard" C++ libraries. I have this libraries installed on my box of course and I specified the library location in the Makevars file. However I thinking about to make the package available to other users and wonder a) Where I should

Hi R users, Could you help me to see this problem? I could now load "rgdal" even though I downloaded the compressed folder. Thanks for your help. Loading required package: sp Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : unable to load shared object '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.3/Resources/library/rgdal/libs/rgdal.so': [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I have some cpp-files from another library (boost) in a subdirectory in my src directory (src/boost_src). I include these using the following two lines in my Makevars: SOURCES = $(wildcard *.cpp boost_src/*.cpp) OBJECTS = $(SOURCES:.cpp=.o) However, R CMD check complains about my use of 'wildcard'. How do I handle this without any gnu extensions? Thanks. Jan

Hi, this patch adds: - kate support (what else) - this bumps the Javascript API to 1.1 - a few build fixes (note that the adding of -L/usr/X11/lib -lX11 looks suspect to me, that shouldn't be needed, so you may want to leave it out if you think so as well - it's odd as X11 using programs do configure fine on that box) - bad pointer dereference fix (mouse callback) - avoid the input
