I have somehow managed to made a source tar ball which "R CMD check" accepts but "R CMD INSTALL" rejects with: ------------------ Warning in untar2(tarfile, files, list, exdir) : checksum error for entry 'pax_global_header' Error in untar2(tarfile, files, list, exdir) : unsupported entry type ?g? ------------------ This happens with both R 2.12.2 (x86 linux) and R

Dear list, this may not be related to R but rather to my OS, but I do not understand the issue of compiling R packages deeply enough to figure out the exact cause of the problem. I am trying to install a R package from source as it is not yet available under Cran (Rssa, downloaded here: https://github.com/asl/rssa). Running sudo R CMD INSTALL asl-rssa-6f458e4.tar.gz from the console

Dear List, I have a list of 600+ *.gz files that I would like to extract and read the geotiffs contained within them. I tried using the untar() function to simplify this task but I am stumped by an error. I've combed the Internet for a solution without luck. The details are below, and any help in solving this matter is appreciated. > files = list.files(path = "J:/GIMMS/NDVI",

Hi R gurus, I'm getting the following error when trying to build and install an R package: Error in untar2(tarfile, files, list, exdir) : unsupported entry type ?x? I build the package like so: R --no-init-file CMD build mypackage Then try to install it: sudo R --no-init-file CMD INSTALL mypackage.tar.gz ...which dies with the above error. I can extract the archive fine with tar -zxf, so

E.g. I am seeing: dir <- file.path(tempdir(), "test-tar") dir.create(dir) setwd(dir) dir.create("foo", showWarnings = FALSE) file.create("foo/bar.R") tar("test.tar", files = "foo/bar.R") dir.create("untarred") untar("test.tar", exdir = "untarred")

I am trying to build R on a Centos server without admin privileges (or support), so I can call R functions from NetLogo models (via the NetLogo R extension or possibly Rserve), but I'm getting stuck near the end of make. Any suggestions? Here's the setup... $ R_SHELL=/bin/sh $ R_HOME=~/R-devel $ cd $R_HOME; ./configure; make returns ... begin installing recommended package MASS

Hey All, I am new in R. Need help on code that can open the .tar.gz file in R under Windows. Can any one help. Thanks in Advance. Wayne [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

This is still a draft, not ready for commit yet. But feedback is welcomed. This series is related to the problem of inefficient import of OVA files. The needed enhancements of QEMU was merged into the codebase and should be available in QEMU 2.8. From there we can use 'size' and 'offset' options in raw driver to tell QEMU to use only subset of a file as an image. The first three

From there we can use 'size' and 'offset' options in raw driver to tell QEMU to use only subset of a file as an image. The patch set is more or less complete. The only outstanding issue is the missing detection

HI All, I have a directory tree that when the user un-gzips/untars it does into /opt by default. The directory tree is like: ugui | |-- <misc files> |-- source |-----framework |------ <misc files> so when unzipped I want to end it with /opt/ugui and all the stuff below it. How do I do this? Can I also issue one command that will unzip and untar the archive at the same time?

dir("inst/extdata/") dir("./inst/extdata/") dir("inst/extdata") works all fine, listing the directory content. but: unzip(tmp[1],exdir = "inst/extdata/") Error in unzip(tmp[1], exdir = "inst/extdata/") : 'exdir' does not exist unzip(tmp[1],exdir = "./inst/extdata/") Error in unzip(tmp[1], exdir = "inst/extdata/") :

A couple of patches cleaning up the -i ova code. These are both just refactoring (or should be at any rate). The second patch is best viewed with 'git show -w' to exclude whitespace changes. Rich.

Basic tar question: I have created a ar file with tar -prvf /tmp/ib_backup.tar /opt/interbase/data/* The file has been copied to another box and I want to untar the file into /opt/interbase/data/ I am not sure about the syntax; how to specify where I want the data to be placed. Here is my start of the command: tar -xvf /tmp/ib_backup.tar #The tar file is in /tmp Todd --
