similar to: R 1.7.0 Windows binary build released

Dear R-help, Has anyone experienced similar problem? On WinNT4(sp6), running Rgui from 1.7.0, when try to change directory to some network drive using the "File / Change dir..." menu, Rgui gets a visit by Dr. Watson. If I first change dir to a local drive, then again to a network drive, it works fine. It also works fine with setwd() from the command prompt. Best, Andy Andy I. Liaw,

Dear all, Maybe this has something to do with R crashing? When my R version crashes, there is Rgui.exe still running in the background (i.e. W2K's task manager recognises it only as a process, which apparently is using almost 100% of the CPU). I can reproduce that by "using" the SJava package (from Brian Ripley's homepage, as suggested on http://www.omegahat.org/RSJava/).

Hi, all: I'm using R 1.7.0 on WinXP under SDI mode. However, very often after I closed all R windows, my CPU usage was still 100%. By checking the task manager, I found there are one or several "Rgui.exe" still running and took all the CPU. I had to close them one by one manually. This happened to me with R 1.6.1, R 1.6.2 also and also on Win2K. Rememeber there was a

Uwe & Marc, Adding the --vanilla flag doesn't help. Actually, the crash happens if I browse to a folder on a mapped drive. I.e., if I type in "q:\Andy" in the text box, it works, but if I try to browse to Q:\Andy and then click on OK, that's when it crashes.

Does anyone know what could be causing the following error message on startup of R: Error in .addMethodFrom(def,argName[1],class[1],fromClass) : object "*tmp*" not found. I'm using R 1.7.0 and Windows 2000. This happened shortly after I installed 1.7.0. Once it occurs, R freezes. >From then on R will always freeze with this error message.

Dear R-List member, I have installed the new version of R on my PC (see system details below). I can start the RGui with http_proxy succesfully. However, I do encounter two problems: 1) After starting the Rgui the following error message is displayed (vertical dots represent omissions of output): R : Copyright 2003, The R Development Core Team Version 1.7.0 (2003-04-16) . . . . Error in

With the same system configuration (WinNT4 SP6 and 1.7.0), I get such a Dr Watson crash each time I try to use the Change dir... command in the File menu of Rgui.exe. I doesn't seems to happen if I do this immediately after starting R but well if I already did some computation. I don't have any problem by using directly setwd().

I have tried to compile R-1.3.1 under the Cygwin environment, but it does not seem to work, although the option is there. Must I use Mingw32? At the same time, I cannot figure out how to build packages from sources under Win32. Are there examples on how to do this?

This is interesting: The crash does not happen if I run Rgui in MDI mode. The crash seemed to only occur in SDI.

Dear R Help, I've just installed 1.7.1 and have found that the console now exhibits odd behavior when I paste commands into it. I'm on a PC running Windows XP Professional. I use Word as my script editor, and then paste commands into the R console using the standard Windows "copy" within Word then "paste" within Rgui. This worked without a hitch in 1.7.0, but now in

Hi, I'm using dyn.load to load a shared library (compiled from C code) into R. If I dyn.unload it and then dyn.load it again, I get an hourglass icon in Rgui (R 1.7.0, Win 2000), and it just sits there forever. I can't press Escape to stop the current computation, but I can close Rgui without resorting to using the Task Manager. Is it a problem with my use of R_alloc? Do I need

Hi, Main objective: Let Rgui find my ~/.Rprofile and ~/.Renviron files, where ~ is equal to getwd("~"). I have few comments/questions: (A) On my WinXP Pro installation, the system environment variable 'HOME' is not availble to R, e.g. Sys.getenv("HOME") is empty. I believe this is default case (correct me if I'm wrong). However, if I set the "Start

R-Community, (System Details at end) I recently downloaded R 1.7.0 win95 binaries from http://cran.us.r-project.org . After installing the program with no hitch I used the the 'Install Packages from Cran' optinon in the drop down menu from Rgui.
