similar to: Error message: 'Rscript' should not be used without a path

We have seen problems with a number of packages which use R/Rscript to run R code in configure or makefiles. (a) You must give a full path: there need be no version of R in the path, and if there is it might not be the version/build of R under which package installation is being done. So the general form is to use ${R_HOME}/bin/R to select the right version. And since ${R_HOME} might

Hi, I am trying to package some code to use with R and wanted to call Rscript from within the Makevars file (I am trying to automate the setting of the location of a third party library depending on what is available / the system the package is being installed on). If I just have a simple Makevars containing PKG_LIBS= -lnag_nag -L/fserver/nagprod/FL22/fll6a22df/lib the package is built

Hi, Recently, I made an R package that used the C++ library Boost.Thread (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/doc/html/thread.html) for multithreading. Previously, I have posted a question at stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19651954/is-it-possible-to-build-an-r-package-which-use-rcpp-and-boost-thread-on-http), and I also asked at rcpp-devel

Dear all, I am trying to use multiple version of R unpacked from CRAN deb files. It does work successfully, except for some packages installation, whether Rscript has been used. I have configured alternatives and switch R environments without any problem and can install most of the packages. '====================================================== $ update-alternatives --display R R - auto

L.S. In this bug report https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14493#c1 it is mentioned that after moving an R installation one should regenerate the Rscript executable. Is there an easy way to do so (after an R installation has been moved)? I have not found any information in the R installation and administration manual. Many thanks in advance for any pointer. Best wishes,

Good Morning, I have recently built R version 2.7.0 on a CentOS release 4.6, 64-bit system using the following command: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/r-2.7.0 Everything built fine and works properly except for Rscript which is looking for files in the original build directory instead of the specified install directory. Did I forget to add a flag or is this a bug? TIA, Gregg.

Hello, I have found what I believe to be a bug in the Linux version of the Rscript binary. Under Windows (official 64-bit 3.5.1 R distribution running on an up-to-date Win10), I can do the following (e.g. under powershell): PS H:\Users\Cesko> Rscript -e 'ls() >> ls()' character(0) character(0) which works as I expect: I am running Rscript with two arguments, namely (1)

Hi, sometimes packages (in this case "pbv") can't be installed on my linux system because in the tarball in src/Makevars there is a line like PKG_LIBS = `$(R_HOME)/bin/Rscript -e "Rcpp:::LdFlags()"` $(LAPACK_LIBS)? The command within the backticks doesn't return anything (i.e, no additional c++ libraries are needed) but because of the backticks an empty argument is

Hello R-Help I have a question about the "behind the scenes" behaviour of the Rscript -e command and particularly its interaction with Sweave and tempdir(). We are trying to deploy R as a web service to do water quality analyses and have been writing software to call Sweave via Rscript eg: cmd> Rscript -e Sweave('sweavefile.Rnw') One problem we have been having is that

Dear R developers, when running R CMD check, the R Under development (unstable) (2015-01-13 r67453) gives me the following NOTE: cbind.fsets: possible error in list(...): ... used in a situation where it does not exist The file that causes this note contains: cbind.fsets <- function(..., deparse.level = 1) { dots <- list(...) res <- NULL resVars <- NULL resSpecs

Hi, In 'example(barplot)' running in R, I see 'Hit <Return> to see next plot:', then R waits for my input. I am wondering how to wait for a user response in Rscript. Regards, Peng

Dear all, finally decided to do an Ubuntu upgrade and a new clean R install from http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/. However, while trying to install a package from R-forge I encountered problems, involving error messages saying "Rscript execution error: No such file or directory" (see below). The same procedure works on Ubuntu 11.04 running R 2.12.1-1 from the Ubuntu

Hi Accesses the $new method for a class defined in a package fails if the methods package is not loaded. I have created a test package with the following single code file: newTest <- function() { cl <- get("someClass") cl$new } someClass <- setRefClass("someClass") (This is similar to code actually used in the testthat package.) If methods is not loaded,

Extremes.Rd, that documents 'max' and 'pmax', has this in "Details" section, in the paragraph before the last. By definition the min/max of a numeric vector containing an NaN is NaN, except that the min/max of any vector containing an NA is NA even if it also contains an NaN. ------------------ >>>>> Michal Burda <michal.burda at centrum.cz>

Hi, A user of my `optparse` package discovered a bug in Rscript's parsing of [args]. (https://github.com/trevorld/optparse/issues/24) I've reproduced the bug on my machine including compiling and checking the development version of R. I couldn't find a mention of it in the Bug Tracker or New Features. Can be minimally reproduced on the UNIX command line with following commands:

Greetings, I am creating a standalone executable script using Rscript and have run into problems when I define a new S4 class. Here is a small script that demonstrates my problem: #!/usr/bin/env Rscript # # toy.Rscript -- testing S4 class creation in an Rscript setClass("toy", representation(name = "character", price = "numeric"),

Hello, I've been trying to make LinkingTo work when the package linked to has c++ code. I've put dumb packages to illustrate this emails here ; http://addictedtor.free.fr/misc/linkingto Package A defines this C++ class: class A { public: A() ; ~A() ; SEXP hello() ; } ; Package B has this function : SEXP say_hello(){ A a ; return a.hello() ; } headers of package A are copied

Good morning R-help, I have an idiot question: I would like to use getSrcDirectory() and friends to allow me to identify where an R file has been called from when invoked using Rscript. If I understand the documentation correctly, the following example should work: In file test.R: options(keep.source=T) fn<-function(x){x<-x+1} srcDir<-getSrcDirectory(fn) print(srcDir) I

One of the examples in Rscript.Rd seems mis-formatted, in that the format statement is incomplete: ## Not run: Rscript -e 'date()' -e 'format(Sys.time(), " Both Rscript.Rd in R 2.5.0 and the version at: https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/src/library/utils/man/Rscript.Rd have Rscript -e 'date()' -e 'format(Sys.time(), "%a %b %d %X %Y")' Do

Hi all, this is probably some tricky configuration file problem, but I figure someone here might have come across this in the past: In short, I've been using Rscript to run my scripts, usually successfully. But recently I've run into a strange problem, and the only function that causes an error is "print". I can create a file that contains only a print command, and it causes
