He was suggesting to upgrade to 15.10 if you needed the newer fortran for some reason (or other newer things only in backports or not even there). I also mostly run LTS versions of Ubuntu, especially in my research group where I manage our cloud/servers. Which also matches the computer cluster available to me. That said I also stick to the stock packages for all the basic underlying libraries

Since there doesn't appear to be an RMySQL rpm for SuSE 8.*, does anyone know if the 7.3 version will work with the SuSE 8.2 rpms of R and DBI? The package installs without complaint, but when I try to run con <- dbConnect(dbDriver("MySQL"),dbname="test") I get the error Error in dbConnect(dbDriver("MySQL")) : couldn't find function

According David Jame's response to my earlier question, there is a problem with setGeneric.setMethod in R 1.8.0 that affects DBI and RMySQL. Is there a fix for this? David Jame's refers to an 'R-patched version' but I haven't seen anything like this on CRAN. Would going back to an older version of R solve the problem? Thanks, Barnet Wagman "David James wrote:

I just essentially the same question on this mailing list and the problem ended up being that my cpu's architecture was not supported by the ubuntu releases (or any releases for that matter). I had to build R from source, but it wasn't much headache. The Ubuntu releases only support i386 and amd64 --- i.e. 32 bit & 64 bit intel and amd cpus and not, e.g., the arm cpus that are

I'm encountering a couple problems configuring and making R 0.64 under linux, redhat 5.2 These problems didn't occur when I build 0.63.2 Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't been able to find any documentation explaining what these errors mean (and if they're serious). If anyone can give me some guidance on this, I'd very much appreciate it.

I encountered a segfault running glm() and wonder if it could have something to do with the way memory is handled in a dual core system (which I just set up).

Does anyone know what algorithm R uses in glm, family=binomial (i.e. a logit model)? I assume that it's in the source somewhere, but I wasn't able to find it. I'd like to know what file it's in (in a unix distribution of R). Thanks for your help. --------------------------- Barnet Wagman wagman at enteract.com 1361 N.

I'm have what's probably a trivial &| silly problem trying to access a c-function in a shared library ( R 0.64, under redhat linux 5.2). R COMPILE rctest.c R SHLIB -o libRC.so rctest.o produce a reasonable looking shared library ('nm libRC.so' shows that the function 'rctest' is present). In R, the command dyn.load("/fullpathname/libRC.so")

I wonder if someone could explain how the following R idiom works (it's used in glm.fit). start <- coef start[fit$pivot] <- coef coef is a vector of coefficients, set by .Fortran("dqrls", ...). fit$pivot is a vector of integer indexes (indicating how dqrls permuted the columns of x). If coef has n elements, fit$pivot is a permutation of seq(1,5). start[fit$pivot]

For anybody who uses ESS with R, how do you invoke the vsize and nsize options when you call R. I can't find any appropriate variables from an apropos.
