similar to: Debian (testing) packages for R-1.8.0

I have installed the binary packages for Debian GNU/Linux release 2.3 (woody) in the U.S. mirror of the CRAN archive. They should propagate to the main CRAN archive within a day and to the other mirrors within two days. These packages have been compiled with gcc-3.0 and g77-3.0. I believe the testing distribution currently provides only a snapshot of gcc-3.0, not the latest released version, so

I have recompiled the r-base package for Debian-2.0 with readline support. I still haven't determined why the configure script does not detect the readline library on one machine but does detect it on another where I compiled this. The package is available as ftp://franz.stat.wisc.edu/pub/R/bin/i386-linux/Debian-2.0/r-base_0.61.1-3_i386.deb and should appear on the other CRAN mirrors by

This may have been announced before but there are now both Debian GNU/Linux and RedHat Linux packages for R-0.61 on the CRAN archive sites. The master site for CRAN is http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/R/ That site provide a list of available mirror sites. Within the CRAN archive sites the pre-compiled packages for Linux are located in the bin/i386-linux directory. Under RedHat you can install

I have uploaded a Debian package r-base_0.61.0-2_i386.deb to the incoming directory at ftp.ci.tuwien.ac.at. This package is built against libc5, not libc6. Turns out that was a bit more complicated than I had hoped. I have also created an RPM file for the same binary distribution and will upload that shortly as r-base-0.61.0-2.i386.rpm. I enclose some information regarding the two packaged

With the assistance of Saikat DebRoy we have produced an nlme package (linear and nonlinear mixed-effects models) for R (see http://www.r-project.org/ for details about R). The nlme package for R requires R-0.90.0, which was released earlier today. Also released today was NLME 3.2 for S-PLUS. We will be working on incorporating the changes from NLME 3.1 to 3.2 into the R version but we wanted

So this is on Windows, then? This is documented somewhere (don't remember): If the package is not located under $R_HOME/library, then the html help will not be able to find it.

I am the maintainer of one of the CRAN mirrors in the U.S., cran.us.r-project.org. It appears that this site has been inaccessible since Friday. This has me puzzled because I can connect to the same machine through ssh and I can see that the http daemon (apache) is running. In fact I can make an http connection from this machine to this machine and from other machines on any of our subnets to

I have been packaging both R and the R contributed libraries for the Debian GNU/Linux operating system. Right now if anyone installs Debian Linux on an Intel machine or a DEC Alpha they will have the option of installing R as a regular part of the operating system. I think this is a good way of getting wider distribution of high quality statistical software. The Linux community is growing

I just uploaded to CRAN a prototype nls (nonlinear least squares) library for R. It is far from being finished but I am asking for this preliminary version to be installed in the src/contrib/Devel section of CRAN so others can see the use of function closures to emulate the behaviour of objects in languages like Java. It will be a couple of days before the file is installed in CRAN and has a

I get great flexibility with command-line editing through the "readline" library in the "bash" editor and the "ncftp" tool. S-Plus has this editing and I see in the preliminary "Notes on R: A Programming Environment for Data Analysis and Graphics", page 65, that "R -e" might give this functionality. Typically, one can use either vi or emacs

Saikat DebRoy is working on a revised "foreign" package (currently in the src/contrib/Devel area on CRAN) that will include the ability to read the SPSS save format. Since we don't use SPSS we don't have easy access to a sample data set and have been using PSPP (see http://pspp.stat.wisc.edu/) to generate test data. It would be more realistic to have a small, redistributable

Hi All, I've just rebuild the latest R with the Goto BLAS on our new Intel quad core machines. I did a few basic matrix calculations, and I was very impressed by the performance I saw. I wonder if anyone has a more rigorous benchmarking program for R. I downloaded a old R test/benchmarking program (see below), and this didn't work with the current R, and so I wondered if anyone could

Dirk's mail to r-devel bounced because of his peculiar return address. He asked me to forward this for him. P.S. I have tried building R with atlas2 on a Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 system but I have not yet managed to out-fox the configure script to get it to use the desired shared object library. -- Douglas Bates bates@stat.wisc.edu Statistics Department
