similar to: segfault with readDCF on R 3.1.2 on AIX 6.1 when using install.packages

Here's an update: I checked the ChangeLog for R, and it seems like readDCF was changed in 3.0.2. I went on a whim and copied src/main/dcf.c from R 2.15.3 over to 3.2.2, and R compiled fine and install.packages now work for me. This is probably not ideal, but it at least makes R usable on AIX for me. Would definitely like to help figure out what's wrong with the new dcf.c on AIX.

Hi, Note that one significant change to read.dcf() that happened since R 3.0.2 is the addition of support for arbitrary long lines (commit 63281), which never worked: dcf <- paste(c("aa: ", rep(letters, length.out=10000)), collapse="") writeLines(dcf, "test.dcf") nchar(read.dcf("test.dcf")) # aa # [1,] 8186 The culprit being line

Hi there, I just wanted to follow up on this readDCF issue with install.packages on AIX on R 3.*. I'm happy to help try potential solutions or debug if anyone could point me in the right direction. To re-cap, it appears readDCF is segfault'ing since R 3.* on AIX. This was not the case up until R 2.15.3. This makes install.packages not usable. Thanks. -- Vinh On Tue, Nov 11, 2014 at

One other note: I'm also using the latest src/main/dcf.c that was giving an issue on AIX previously; see [this](https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2015-September/071781.html) thread. Thanks.

Dear list, I'm following the instructions provided here to compile R 64 bit on AIX 6.1. I did export OBJECT_MODE=64 export CC="gcc -maix64 -pthread" export CXX="g++ -maix64 -pthread" export FC="gfortran -maix64 -pthread" export F77="gfortran -maix64 -pthread" export CFLAGS="-O2 -g -mcpu=power6" export FFLAGS="-O2 -g -mcpu=power6"

Dear all, First off, I am very new to asterisk so forgive me if any of my comments or questions seem trivial. Thanks to [this post](http://blog.polybeacon.com/2010/10/17/asterisk-1-8-and-google-voice/) and [this post](http://www.davidvossel.com/?p=28), I have GV set up on asterisk through jabber.conf and gtalk.conf. I can successfully dial out from asterisk. I'm trying to set up an

Dear R-Users, I think I have encountered a potential bug (or at least unwanted behavior), but I'm not sure so I wanted to post here first. Lately I've been encountering an error when running a package I put together. I have my package set up to check for updates when it loads but this error occurs and stops the package from loading: Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for

Hi, I am new to R and I'm looking to perform some method comparison analysis and would be grateful for some help regarding package installation. There is a package 'MethComp' that I want to use (http://staff.pubhealth.ku.dk/~bxc/MethComp/Courses/Sthm.2007/.) Unfortunately I am unable to install it. I have tried numerous approaches but to no avail. this is the first time I have tried to

Hi all, The write_PACKAGES function has a 'fields' argument that allows a user generating a PACKAGES file to specify additional fields to include. For symmetry, it would be nice for the available.packages function to be able to read those extra fields when specified. Similarly, it would be useful for installed.packages to have a 'fields' argument. This would allow a user to

Hi, on all my systems update.packages() and install.packages() fails now.

All, I'm running R v2.7.1 on Mac OS X. When I go to the R package installer GUI, I am not prompted to select a repository. The usual screen is there but the columns for package, installed version, and repository version are all populated via blank entries. If I select "Get List" the error below occurs. The same thing occurs if I go form the command line via install.packages.

I cannot access internet through R. My IT-guys told me that I should set the proxy and the port and then everything will be fine. Where can I set them? I use R 2.6.2 under Windows 2000 and these settings are those of the Internet Explorer (no password). I read http://cran.at.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#The-Internet-download-functions-fail_002e but staring R by "C:\Program
