similar to: Error in formatDL(nm, txt, indent = max(nchar(nm, "w")) + 3)

This error can arise when getOption("width") is too small. 80 seems to be the limit for me with R-3.3.2 on Windows.

Hello: I tried "debug(help)" with the problem mentioned below. It stopped with a call to "library", from which I generate the following simple replication of this error: > library(help = 'fda', character.only = TRUE) Error in formatDL(nm, txt, indent = max(nchar(nm, "w")) + 3) : incorrect values of 'indent' and 'width'

It happens in the fda package because some of the headers are longer than typical (e.g., "Repository/R-Forge/DateTimeStamp") and formatDL dies if the indent argument is too large compared to the width argument. It might be nice to change formatDL so it never gave such an error, but did something reasonable when the 'indent' argument was too big. Changing if (indent >

Hi, I' using Ubuntu 10.10/11.04 and on both of the systems help doesn't work unless I set options(help_type="html"). I hate to change context and help_type='html' distracts me. I want text based help inside console. Where should I look to fix this problem? -- Amol

I'm not 100% sure this hasn't been covered already (I searched a bit, but I had a little trouble filtering down to a useful number of useful results). Anyway, when I install R on Windows, the installer asks to set the default help type. For some reason, I can set it as HTML in the installer, but the results open as if help_type = "text" by default. I presume this is related to

I am having no luck compiling R-2.0.1 on a Windows XP platform. I have not had these problems when compliling previous versions of R. I've installed all the recommended software and tools. But I cannot get round this error message: make make[1]: `Rpwd.exe' is up to date. make -f Makefile.docfiles make[3]: Nothing to be done for `docfiles'. -------- Building

This is the first time that I have tried to update packages with a tinkered around with .Rprofile. I start R with R --vanilla and it does not load my .Rprofile, but when I issue the command update.packages() R downloads the packages as expected, but then seems to load .Rprofile before compiling the packages sources. What am I doing wrong? kindest regards, Stephen Sefick see- Session info

Hello, I am on a laptop with Win7, running R-2.12.1 if I click on Packages/InstallPackages I get : > utils:::menuInstallPkgs() Warning: unable to access index for repository http://cran.skazkaforyou.com/bin/windows/contrib/2.12 Warning: unable to access index for repository http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/windows/contrib/2.12 Error in install.packages(NULL, .libPaths()[1L], dependencies

After a clean install of R 4.0.0 (R-base only) on Mint 19.3, the directory /usr/lib/R/library/base/html is empty. However, the directory /usr/lib/R/library/boot/html contains files 00Index.html and R.css. Correspondingly, the command help(package="base", help_type="html") produces the text "No package index found for package base". The same occurs when clicking

I'm trying to diagnose a bizarre problem in which the help files invoked from R are partially defective. help(), for instance, is missing the Description, Arguments and See Also sections; as are help files for other commands (see below). I've built 2.8.1, 2.10.1 and HEAD with the same results; do I need to set an environment or configuration variable? help

hi there, trying to follow the steps of Yan & Rossini 2003, I have two problems : first when I 'make CrossCompileBuild', I get : ****************************************************************************** make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ros/RWORK/CROSSSOMP/WinR/R-1.8.0/src/gnuwin32' make -f Makefile.docfiles make[2]: Entering directory

I noticed about a couple weeks ago that my R start up script starting showing the below errors, following the line "Type 'q()' to quit R" Not sure what I did different and so far it hasn't caused major problems but kind of fear that it will. Can you please help? I also posted my Rprofile below. Attempting to load the environment 'package:R.utils' R.methodsS3 v1.2.2

Hello: How can one get the number of functions and data sets in a package? I've written a function "PackageSum2" to get an extended package summary for an installed package. I get much of what I want from the object returned by "help(package=pkgName)". For example, "help(pac=...)$info[[1]]" is a character vector giving author, maintainer,

Hi, I have options(help_type="html") in my .Rprofile and when I type ?foo, the man page appears as a new tab in my web browser (which is already running). Fine. However, when I type ??foo, rather than the results appearing in a new tab, a new instance of the web browser is spawned with the default homepage displayed. Same with help.search("foo"). Am I the only one seeing this?

All, 1. I will try and make this clear and concise. Please let me know any information that would be helpful in figuring out this problem (I don't know the relevant information to post).

Hello, All: The "writeFindFn2xls" function in the "sos" package tries to write an Excel file with 3 sheets ('PackageSum2', 'findFn', 'call'). Unfortunately, it is often unable to do this because of configuration problems that are not easy to fix. I've found 3 contributed packages that provide facilities to write Excel files with

BIll, Thanks. I am seeing some problems here, for example when all the fields are missing, or all the fields in a row are missing. I've fixes for those, and will commit to R-devel shortly.

Can we use the "bytes" encoding for such environment variables invalid in the current locale? The following patch preserves CE_NATIVE for strings valid in the current UTF-8 or multibyte locale (or non-multibyte strings) but sets CE_BYTES for those that are invalid: Index: src/main/sysutils.c =================================================================== --- src/main/sysutils.c

Hi all, I am setting up a new AD server with Samba 4.1.11 from the FreeBSD ports. I struggle with the internal DNS. I add a new CNAME record but it does not show up properly. I gave the AD domain a new DNS domain (domain.fda) and the server the name samba4.domain.fda. I am using the internal DNS, and a forwarder to a bind server in the same network. After the AD provision I have this here
