Dear R devel list I was wondering whether zip() contains a windows specific call to system(), as the argument "invisible" seems to be windows specific, yet is used anytime by zip: invisible(system2(zip, args, invisible = TRUE)) Indeed, calling zip() on Linux results in a warning message: > file.create("try") [1] TRUE > zip("try.zip", "try")

Hi I recently updated to R 2.11 and see a strange problem. When run into the console, R does not warn when calling an unexisting object, see below. I don't know if this is related, but I am not able to run the R CMD BATCH properly... Did someone see a similar problem? Which information can I provide more on this problem? Thanks for help! Matthieu $R R version 2.11.0 (2010-04-22)

Hi all I''m trying to get GetText to work. I have the following folder structure: |-myapp.pot |-de_DE/: | `-myapp.po |-en_GB/: | `-myapp.po |-en_US/: ` `-myapp.po I run rake updatepo, and then rake makemo. Now I set en-gb as default language in Firefox and run my app >> works! Then I set en-us as default language in Firefox and run my app >> works,

After the last round of patches to febootstrap, the image-based test in libguestfs still failed. It turned out that this happens because Debian started replacing /var/run and /var/lock with symlinks that point to a tmpfs mounted to /run. The symlinks were copied to the appliance but /run/lock did not exist, so pvcreate refused to run (script 'images/guest-aux/make-debian-img.sh'). After I

Dear R Core Team, I wish to report what can be viewed as a bug or at least a strange behavior in R-3.4.1. I ask my question here (as recommended on https://www.r-project.org/bugs.html) since I am not member of the R's Bugzilla. When running 'R --vanilla' from the command line, the standard matrix product is by default based on BLAS and multi-threaded on all cores available on

Hi Tomas, Thanks for your answer. Indeed, I checked and my R-3.4.1 installed from the ubuntu repository use 'libopenblasp-r0.2.18.so' while my R-3.3.2 that I did compiled on my machine use 'libRblas.so' which explain the difference of behavior. I will use RhpcBLASctl to avoid issue when combining matrix product and other multi-threading package. Maybe this point regarding

Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 12.04.4. I installed R by following instructions from CRAN after modification into my /etc/apt/sources.list file sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install r-base sudo apt-get install r-base-dev When I try to load library(gdata) ou library(gplots), I have error message : library(gdata) gdata: read.xls support for 'XLS' (Excel 97-2004) files

Hi, I was bitten by a little incoherence in dimnames assignment or may be I missed some point. Here is the case. If I assign row names via dimnames(a)[[1]], when nrow(a)=1 then an error is thrown. But if I do the same when nrow(a) > 1 it's OK. Is one of this case works unexpectedly? Both? Neither? a=as.matrix(1) dimnames(a)[[1]]="a" # error: 'dimnames' must be a list

Dear All, I would like to plot text with a box around it. I used strwidth and strheight to compute the size of the box which is plotted with rect: z <- rnorm(10) # horizontal text works plot(rnorm(10)) x1 <- 5 y1 <- 0 label <- "Label" cha <- paste(" ", label, " ", sep = "") xh <- strwidth(cha, cex = par("cex")) yh <-

Hi, I received a bug report from a French user who told me there was something wrong with the function packageVersion(), but packageDescription() worked well. Below is the session info; I'm not sure if other French users can reproduce the error message: > packageVersion('base') Erreur : sp?cification de version incorrecte base > sessionInfo() R version 2.12.1 (2010-12-16)

Dear list, This is a copy of a mail sent to Max Kuhn, original author and maintainer of the odfWeave package, which seems not to have received it. It reports a problem that seems to be very implementation specific (reproductible on three Debian testing amd64 machine, does *not* happen on two i686 Debian testing systems, does *not* happen on an Ubuntu 11.06 amd64 machine) and therefore not

Dear R users, I have just upgraded R from 2.11 to 2.12 on Ubuntu 9.04 (see more informations at the end) from the cran apt-get repository. One of the new things concerning the install.packages() function is stated here : install.packages() and remove.packages() with lib unspecified and multiple libraries in .libPaths() inform the user of the library location used with a message

Dear both, I have found that names are not treated in the same way in optim() depending on the optimization method (argument method). The example below shows the difference between the Brent method and the L-BFGS-B method. f <- function(x){ y <- x^2;names(y) <-"f(x)";y} optim(10, f, method="Brent", lower=-1, upper=10)$value optim(10, f, method="L-BFGS-B",

Hi, Sweave for some reason does not respect encoding setting in pdf.options. Everything is OK with ps.options. Thus when using non-default encoding for graphs, resulting graphics eps file is correct, but pdf file is not. Workaround is very simple, just use latex->dvips->ps2pdf chain to get the intended pdf document. I tried to find the explanation for this, but I did not find anything. If

I have an application that uses I18n, but in the first deployment, I don''t want to enable different languages per user/request because there are very few users who all speak german). Therefore I have config.i18n.default_locale = :de in config/ application.rb. I have no code whatsoever to set/change I18n.locale in my app. In development environment, it works as expected: the

Hello, I don't know if the problem originates from R-devel 3.2 or Rcurl itself.

Dear List, I have had problems inserting some (not all !) figures via odfWeave (using print(someLatticeFunction)...). The figure was correctly displayed in a R device window but the resulting ODF document displayed the correct space for the figure and an empty frame with a "broken image" icon and a "read error" mention. Exploration of the odf (.odt, in my case) file showed

Hi, I just installed GtkCDLabel, a nifty little app to create CD covers in a matter of minutes, if not seconds, and which I've been using on a daily basis on Slackware (previous system). I've encountered some encoding issues. Whenever my CD text contains french special characters like ?, ?, ? and ?, the resulting .ps file displays martian characters instead. 'printenv' shows me

Hi, I'm having a weird problem on a CentOS 6 server. I installed the machine in french, so I have LANG=fr_FR.UTF8 defined. I'd like to define en_US.UTF8, because some output is better readable in english, like chkconfig --list. I replaced fr_FR.UTF8 in /etc/sysconfig/i18n and /boot/grub/grub.conf. Unfortunately, when I reboot the system, I still get this: # echo $LANG fr_FR.UTF-8 Any
