similar to: multiple installations of R (in Fedora)

Dear list, as I started installing R-2.15.0 on a Red Hat 4.5.1-4 as well a Ubuntu 10.04.3 systems. While the basic installation went fine (like the previous R-2.14.2), now I'm having trouble installing almost one third of the additional libraries I want (which installed flawlessly with R-2.14.2), among them RODBC for which I show the message below (obtained on Ubuntu) :

Dear guRus, I'm maintaining central R installation (Linux) for our institute. The startup screen of R traditionally echoes some messages (starting with "R version ...Copyright (C).. The R Foundation for Statistical Computing...") and I'd like to display for example right after these messages some other messages about our specific setup, how to contact me etc ... What

Dear guRus, I'd like to learn how to make a function recognize the name of an object/vector given as argument If I have : testFun <- function(x,y) plot(x,y, main=paste("plot of",names(x),"and",names(y)) ) # this just a simple example ... a1 <- 5:8 b1 <- 9:6 testFun(a1,b1) # Returns the plot, but not the names of the objects/vectors given as arguments, # but

Dear List, as I'm trying to install R and Rgraphwiz on a Fedora Linux, I have a problem with the environement variable "PKG_CONFIG_PATH". The library "libgvc" is not getting recognized / found, although a recent version libgvc is on the system and can be seen via /usr/lib64. I've tried to edit the paths described in /etc/ldpaths but without any success. Any hints how

Dear list, I just realized that one of the examples given in the help page to the function makeCluster of the library(snow) has a small syntax error : ## to get started library(snow) ?makeCluster .. will open a halp page containing the command towards the end of the examples : cl <- makeCluster(c(rep(list(macOptions), 2), rep(list(lnxOptions), 2), rep(list(winOptions),

Dear list, I have encountered a special case for searching a linear regression where I'm not satisfied with the results obtained using the traditional least squares method (sometimes called OLS) for estimating/optimizing the residues to the regression line (see code below). Basically, a group of my x-y data are a bit off the diagonal line (in my case the diagonal represents the ideal or

Dear list, ?require says : "... |require| is designed for use inside other functions; it returns |FALSE| and gives a warning (rather than an error as |library()| does by default) if the package does not exist ..." However when I run the following code I don't get any TRUE / FALSE statements (but the warning only). Since I want to test from inside of a function if a given package

Dear List, we're trying to install R on Solaris10 on a x86 (amd64). During the installation we pass successfully the ./configure but we get an error through the built-in function "_isnan" which we see existing in /lib When passing the command "make" we get : gcc -std=gnu99 -I../../src/extra/zlib -I../../src/extra/bzip2 -I../../src/extra/pcre -I. -I../../src/include

Dear List, when reading MS Excel files in R using package RODBC I encountered the problem of having the first line of data getting omitted. I read the data as : > library(RODBC) > channel1 <- odbcConnectExcel("myFile.xls") > sheet1 <- sqlQuery(channel1, "SELECT * FROM [Cell measures (1)$]") # I use sqlQuery() instead of sqlFetch() since the sheet I

Dear list, when running a mood.test() (part of package "stats") on slightly longer vectors (than the example from the help-page) we get the error-message shown below : once both vectors tested are of length 50 this error oocurs. Note, that this problem didn't occur with R-2.7.x (or even older versions). > x <- rnorm(50,10,5) > y <- rnorm(50,2,5) > >

Dear list, I?m using R embedded in another program (coded in tcl/tk) under Windows Vista. In this context I don?t launch Rgui.exe but rather Rtem.exe. Now I have a problem finding libraries not specifically installed as administrator (and which are not in the path ?program files? but in Contacts\Documents of the current user). To be precise, the user launching my tcl/tk program can?t find

Dear list, I'm wondering how to optimize functions/processes like the one shown below (which simplifies something we're trying to do with very large datasets). In many cases I've noticed that using apply, sapply etc can help speeding up processes, but in this case I don't see how I could do so. a <- runif(10000000,0.5,1.6) C <- 2 M <- 10000000 system.time( for (i in

The whole build goes well and success. Now, when $ make check, it fails because of the WARNING. ------------------------------- running code in 'eval-etc.R' ... OK comparing 'eval-etc.Rout' to './eval-etc.Rout.save' ...WARNING: ignoring environment value of R_HOME 1d0 < WARNING: ignoring environment value of R_HOME Makefile.common:93: recipe for target

When the R_HOME environment variable is set, R issues a warning messages when it starts up. When doing 'make check' this causes the check for eval-etc.R to fail: [...] make[3]: Leaving directory `/Volumes/app/R/src/R-1.4.0_patched_2002-01-24/tests' running strict specific tests make[3]: Entering directory `/Volumes/app/R/src/R-1.4.0_patched_2002-01-24/tests' running code in

Dear list, this seemed to me like a very trivial question, but finally I haven't found any similar postings with suitable solutions on the net ... Basically, instead of regressing two simple series of measures 'a' and 'b' (like b ~ a), I would like to use independent replicate measurements for each variable at each level (ie, instead of having just one 'a' and one

You may want to retry that after a make distclean, in case anything changed in the toolchain. -pd > On 6 Apr 2017, at 14:43 , Therneau, Terry M., Ph.D. <therneau at mayo.edu> wrote: > > This run was done this AM on my linux box, and older 32 bit Dell optiplex (core 2 duo). The failure message is at the very end. (It's due to be replaced in a couple of weeks.) The sequence

I am troubled by what appears to be a glitch in the current distribution, or in its installation on our system. I've traced it, and found a work- around. Is this normal? Is there a cleaner solution? The problem: During a package installation, the warning message "WARNING: ignoring environment value of R_HOME" from line 31 of <R_HOME>/bin/R is accidentally spliced into the

Hi, I wish to use R (version 2.13.1)?from within Matlab(ver R2009a) on windows XP plaform (on both 64 bit and 32 bit OS) . For this I have installed StatConnector (http://rcom.univie.ac.at/download/current/statconnDCOM.latest.exe) for calling R from within Matlab (R2009a) on Windows XP platform. I have added all the files of MATLAB_RLINK folder (downloaded from
