similar to: Will ctv package work on ubuntu?

Solved the original problem I wrote in about with a combination of r-cran downloads through Synaptic and downloads from one of the mirror sites. Things worked out well. Using the ctv package I pulled in the contents of the Finance view. Not clear which one, but one of the packages called up RDCOMClient as an apparent dependency. Not showing up as an r-cran file or on any of the mirrors

Morning all: Coming straight to the point. Switched from XP to Ubuntu Linux. Followed the steps outlined on the website to install a current version of R to my machine. Seems to have worked OK, but the process doesn't install it to the desktop. The notes don't go into that part of it, so I'm seeking some advice from others more experienced on how to take the last couple of steps

Good morning folks: Made a second go at installing this and succeeded, but with some strange behaviours along the way. First the system back story. Using up to date edition Ubuntu 8.04 Using up to date edition of R 2.10.1 Using the Toronto, Ontario repository to draw from. After the first attempt ended up with two of the four dependencies installed so only the Rgtk related items would be

Evening all: Thought I'd announce myself with a question about setting up sources.list to be able to begin download and install of R. Running version 7.10 of Ubuntu. (Tried 8.04 but found it slow and finicky with my hardware. Perhaps will try 8.10 or above, but that's a thought for another time.) Followed the notes on the R site and added the following lines to my sources.list: deb

Greetings all: Newcomer to R as I work on learning it to transfer my college classroom stats training to something more useful and accurate then that spreadsheet from Redmond which shall remain nameless. I'm running v2.6.2 on a Win XP Home system that I keep up to date with all the called for patches. Haven't added much to the basic install other than the bits and bobs needed to run

Evening all: Redid my home box using VectorLinux (Slackware variation) and now I'm not sure which game trail to follow to reinstall R. Could somebody with more knowledge in this share their thoughts off-list. Just need a pointer to the appropriate trail head. I can take it from there.

Evening folks: Not sure where this fits into the picture so bear with me for a few moments while I think out loud to lay out the particulars of my problem. -would love to be employed using R for a living but so far I have just worked with it on my home machine to develop a basic level of skill with it. -I run Ubuntu linux 8.04 LTS on a machine with a 2.5GHz Celeron processor and 1.2GB of memory.

Evening all: I'm taking a little time to experiment with R, Sweave, and Miktex/LaTex but I've run up against some problems and -well- I hope that there are some on the list who might have some suggestions. This will be kind of wordy as I will include the complete files involved as I'm just not sure what I'm looking for. Apologies at the outset. I created the source file

Morning All: Having problems installing this one into my R setup and wondered if anyone on the list had the same problem and found a workable solution. First to the system particulars: OS is the Hardy Heron edition of Ubuntu Linux R version is 2.13.1 Java installation is sun-java6 Next up is the result of javareconf: R CMD javareconf Java interpreter : /usr/bin/java Java version : 1.5.0

Evening all: Recently moved over to Ubuntu 7.10. Installed version 2.7.0 of R from the U of T site in Ontario, Canada. Working on installing Rcmdr as my GUI of choice (yes, I know lots of you probably prefer an emacs/ess combination but give me a break. It's what I was comfortable with using R under XP). For the most part the installs have gone well in a regular terminal window using

Hi All: Tried out a couple of different options suggested earlier, but for some reason I can only get Rcmdr to work properly. Not that that's a problem, but it might have been nice to have a couple of other choices. Just tried out JGR and ended up getting not found errors on several of the menu choices. Installed OK. Just several key menu options such as package manager don't work. Have

Afternoon folks: This question may be a touch off-topic, but I had to start somewhere. As I become more proficient with R I would like to play up the point in the computer skills section of my resume. Can anybody on the list provide an idea or two as to what might be an appropriate way to do this? Is it a language or an application? What's a proper description for it? I leave to

Hi ho folks: I'm running the indicated version of R on Hardy Heron Ubuntu. (Yes, I am quite aware that it is considered old news but then I don't run the "latest and greatest" computer gear. I've tried both Gnome and KDE editions of Ubuntu Lynx and even a current run of Fedora. I find Heron simply works better on my machine.) When I try to install RcmdrPlugin.PT most of

Hi folks: Puzzled about something. Is it just my imagination or has the dep = TRUE been dropped from the install packages menu function with this edition? As recently as 2.7.1 the choice seemed to hunt dependencies automatically, but now I'm having to enter the function manually to get that back. Is there a way to add this back to the menu choice? -- Brian Lunergan Nepean, Ontario

My bad. I know I've asked this some time back but I'm afraid I've lost the post along the way and am not having much luck searching the net. Don't want to pad my R setup with orphan packages. Is there a small snippet of code or even a single command that would allow me to check the packages I do use for their dependencies and then I can chuck those that don't turn up as wanted

Dear Willem, Personally, I use the R-forge project for the distribution CTV : https://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/ctv/ It?s an alternative option to github.

I'd strongly second the notion of using github. The biggest advantage is that others can easily contribute changes through pull requests which lifts much of the burden from your shoulders.

Evening folks: I did an install.views of finance and econometrics and between the two of them R reported 'FracSim', 'RDCOMClient', 'snow', 'VGAM', and 'segmented' as missing dependencies. Now, I've managed to hunt down what appear to be current zip file copies of all of the packages but 'snow'. Is there a windows edition of the package out
