OK, thanks both. I'll try that. I suspect (very strongly) that it comes from the fact that I did not replace the cran mirror line by an actulal cran mirror URLs... I will give a look at all my backports this weekend and do a little cleaning too! thanks,   David Biau.   ################################# From: Johannes Ranke <jranke@uni-bremen.de> To: r-sig-debian@r-project.org

Hi. I would like to thank Johannes, Piet and others for the lenny-cran AMD64 ports. I have a question about r-recommended from lenny-cran which I just installed: hotelling:~$ apt-cache policy r-recommended r-recommended: Installed: 2.9.0-1~lennycran.0 Candidate: 2.9.0-1~lennycran.0 Version table: 2.9.0-1 0 600 http://debian.lcs.mit.edu unstable/main Packages ***

Yesterday I wanted to try rattle on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty. I had (and still have) it running (though it complains on startup a bit -- I'll look into that later) on a different bootup on the same machine with 8.04 Hardy. I got an error that libglade cannot be found, and various attempts to get glade support failed. I removed and reinstalled R -- same problem. To avoid the issue of local setup

Hi, everybody. I notice debian packages for Ubuntu on CRAN are missing "libRblas.so" and I'm trying to find out why. Why do I care? We are working in an hpc project in a CentOS Linux cluster. That led me to the question of "which BLAS is fastest?" Dirk E referred me this morning to the R admin manual. The standard R compilation creates a shared blas library libRblas.so

Hi, I'd like to install the optimized libraries on my Thinkpad with an Intel Core Solo chip, which apparently supports the following instruction sets: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3 instruction sets, XD-Bit. In a recent r-help message, the following was said (by Dirk I think): <quote> Yes, on Ubuntu, use 'apt-get install atlas3-base' for basic tuned Atlas, or 'apt-get install

Hi all, how do you update R on Debian lenny? I have tried to re-install r-base after adding deb http://<favorite-cran-mirror>/bin/linux/debian lenny-cran/ to my backport lists but it keeps installing R 2.7.1. What should I be doing to get the lattest R release? I need it to install a package (plyr) Thanks, David. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi all, has anyone tried and possibly succeeded in installing "reshape" package on Debian Lenny? I have a permanent failure because i cannot find the "plyr" package. I tried 10 mirrors. I contacted Hadley Wickham and James Long who seemed to have been closed to do it but it didn't work (meaning so far I haven't the answer from them). So has anyone any ideas as how to

Dear All, I have a data frame of vectors of publication names such as 'pub': pub1 <- c('Brown DK, Santos R, Rome DF, Don Juan X') pub2 <- c('Benigni D') pub3 <- c('Arstra SD, Van den Hoops DD, lamarque D') pub <- rbind(pub1, pub2, pub3) I would like to construct a dataframe with only author's last name and each last name in columns and the

Dear all, I have a dataframe of names (netw), with each cell including last name and initials of an author; some cells have NA.

Dear all, I am working on an author network and to do so I have to arrange a data.frame (tutu) crossing author names (rows) per publication number (column).

If you need a newer version of R for installing the latest version of plyr, perhaps another solution (as very new versions of R -2-11.0- will come out soonly ) , which needs 2 lines of bash!, might be to download an old version of plyr : wget \ http://cran.at.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/plyr/plyr_0.1.1.tar.gz and install it R CMD INSTALL plyr_0.1.1.tar.gz (and then reshape

Trying to install Debian Lenny amd64 from netinst cd on Xen HVM, the computer hangs and needs to reset physically. My computer supports HVM, I''ve a HVM Windows XP installed with no problems. Other ways to install Lenny on HVM are welcome. I tried with debootstrap, but it doesn''t boot disk image :-( My config is: import os, re arch = os.uname()[4] if

I''m trying to follow the guide to set up Lenny 5.0 VMs on my newly installed XCP machine. Following what the wiki suggests I downloaded the lenny.xva from http://www.xen.org/files/XenCloud/Software/lenny.xva, saving to domain zero. (note that this file was updated March 1, 2011) When I try to import lenny.xva to my Xen Cloud Platform host using the command: xe vm-import

Hello, I've been asked to test this, can anyone help me? The platform I would like to test on: - Lenny/amd64 - Intel VT-i (Xen HVM support) I've looked over the various threads and wiki pages on the issue and I thought I would try to summarise it more concisely: dom0 (32 bit): - regular install using Lenny CD, Debian Installer, i386 - install the kernel package from etch,

Hi. Last week I updated from 32 bit etch to 32 bit lenny on an AMD SMP machine. I first cloned the system disk to an identical drive, and updated the cloned drive. I still have the etch install untouched on the previous drive, which has allowed me to do some testing. After the update R has slowed down significantly. A user brought this to my attention, and at this point we have only

Hi, I'm running a highschool network with Debian etch and the etch-cran "backports" on top of it. Being bio-informatics, the newest R is essential to us. I did some upgrading experiments; switching to ubuntu is not an option, neither is fetching the sid debs for r. When trying to upgrade from etch to lenny with etch-cran packages installed things block on etch-cran dependencies.

Hi, I tried to add the Debian Lenny repository for Wine to my apt sources, so I could enjoy a newer release of wine than the 1.0.x version Debian offers. However, when I tried to update repositories, I got a 404, and, upon investigating, realised that there is no Lenny distribution whatsoever on the Wine apt server! (It is, however, mentioned in the documentation for installing Debian/Ubuntu
