Greetings, I am trying to use install.packages obtained from here http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/utils/html/install.packages.html My computer has these OS: 64-bit blfs linux R2.15.1 #------------ A) I did the following:- export DIR=/home/stats/R-2.15.0_runTEST190712A export DEST=/home/stats/Rtester cd $DEST ${DIR}/bin/R install.packages(MASS_7.3-17.tar.gz, ${DEST}, repos =

Hey everyone, Thanks for all the input. It's happening again. This time for the packages "DBI", "parallelly", "segmented", "survival", "V8". So, RStudio shows updates for those and updating them via RStudio leads to this output: ``` > install.packages(c("DBI", "parallelly", "segmented", "survival",

Full_Name: Jari Oksanen Version: R 2.1.0 OS: MacOS 10.3.9 Submission from: (NULL) (130.231.102.145) For various reasons (which need not be expanded here) I have tried to update my long neglected R in MacOS X using handy command line tool update.packages() using readily available binaries of contributed packages at CRAN. However, this fails with message saying that packages xxxx_*_tar.gz is not

O/S: Linux R version : 2.2.1 The R server doesn't have http internet access. And the sys admins will not install the R libraries that I requested. So I have downloaded the packages that I want to intall and have moved them into my home directory on the server. These are a series of *.tar.gz files. I want to install the R libraries in my home directory, but I can't get it to work.

Message 2 of today: it works now. After re-installing R.app from the same R-2.1.0.dmg file, and fixInNamespace'ing(*) install.packages(), I managed to update 23 outdated packages from CRAN binaries for MacOS X. What I did was to: 1. change call to .install.macbinaries() into call to install.binaries() in install.packages(). install.binaries() is a function defined utils/R/aqua/GUI.R. 2. I

Hello dear R developers, I recently found out that it is not possible to limit update.packages() to update only a few packages at a time. The patch offered simply adds a 'subset' parameter and the statement bounded within "if(!missing(subset))" to implement it. The code is pasted bellow (and also attached as an .r file). Might this patch be considered valuable to be added to

Dear Mr Moderator, please let me through. I want to reply to my own thread. I once subscribed to this list, but then my subscription was not accepted. Now to the business: The final failure came from missing .install.macbinary() function. I grepped R-patched sourcesand the only instance of .install.macbinary() was the call to the function in R- patched/src/library/utils/R/packages2.R (stupid

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

Hello, The help pages for download.packages and install.packages say 'type = getOption("pkgType")'. And on Windows I get getOption("pkgType") [1] "both" which means in ?getOptions pkgType: The default type of packages to be downloaded and installed ? see install.packages. Possible values are "win.binary", "source" and

Dear R users, In my data, there are two variables t1 and t2. For each observation of t1 and t2, two location indicators (x, y) were provided. The data format is # x y t1 t2 Since the both t1 and t2 are depended on x and y, t1 and t2 are autocorrelated variables. My question is how to calculate the correlation between t1 and t2 by taking into account the structure of residual variance

Executive summary: getRemotePkgDepends seems to use the wrong default string to (try to) download the CRAN package information. ======================== Someone asked me about the behavior of tools::pkgDepends() , and in investigating I discovered the following: ## tools:::getRemotePkgDepends ## undebug(tools:::getRemotePkgDepends) tools::pkgDepends("GDD") ## Error in

Dear helpers, I'm trying to extract certain rows from a matrix according to the values the rows have in a certain column. I've been googling for a while without result. Here's a reproducible example of a matrix (and the one I was playing with initially): > myrepo<-getOption("repos") >

To Whom It May Concern: I need to use various packages in R and I also want to use Textmate. Problem 1: Textmate doesn't seem to recognize the packages that are already installed on R. Problem 2: When I execute the following command: install.packages("ade4", repos="http://cran.r-project.org", contriburl = contrib.url(
