I have built R-0.50-a4 on HP9000/C160-hpux10.2 with gcc (cc for libs). When I try library(survival4) Error in pos.to.env(pos) : invalid "pos" argument And it does not load. Other libs seem to work. I tested integrate (has f2c translated c), polynomial. Is this a problem with my system only??? TIA osman =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Currently I'm porting the spatial library from "Venables W.N., Ripley, B.D. (1995): Modern applied statistics with S-PLUS, Springer" to R. Now it seems to work with R-0.50-a4, but I guess it has to be adjusted when R 0.60 comes out. So my questions are: What changes will appear in library sources (directories, Makefile, help page format)? Can I get an unofficial pre-version

I am a long-time Mac user. R is way behind on that platform, which is one reason why I decided to try out Linux on intel. I have the system set up and have installed R (using Slackware, which is only distribution my tech services wants me to use). It went very smoothly, thanks everyone behind R! I installed R in the directory /usr/local/bin/R-0.50-a4/ Not sure if this is a sensible set-up.

Hi Sorry to bother list members with this query but I can't find any relavent documentation. I just installed R-base-0.50.a4-1.i386.rpm for redhat linux but am missing a library file. rpm complained and so does R. When I try to run R I get /usr/lib/R/bin/R.binary: can't load library 'libf2c.so.0' What else do I need to install - i have g77 0.5.20 which works fine but not f2c as

This message is in MIME format --_=XFMail.1.1.p0.Linux:971128122615:3052=_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I have rounded up three buglets in R-0.50-a4. Two of them I can fix and a patch is supplied below. I hope this is useful for the current source (if these haven't been fixed already :) 1) cov cov() fails when it's argument is a matrix with one column and with column names

Jim Lindsey has made his quick shot at porting F Harrell's Design pkg available in the CRAN src/contrib/devel area. His changes are actually relative to version 0.50, so perhaps there is need for undoing some changes. They are cleanly documented, however. It would be great if anyone could ``play'' some more with the port, so that we have a fully functional one eventually. -kh

Dear R-users, Is anyone successfully using leaps() and particularly subsets() (contributed function) in R? When I attempt to run them with modest matrices, R promptly faults and dumps the core. Also, how does one use subsets.formula() within subsets()? R : Copyright 1997, Robert Gentleman and Ross Ihaka Version 0.50 Alpha-4 (September 10, 1997) R-base-0.50.a4-1.i386.rpm

Version 0.60 of R for Unix is now available. Release of this version has been delayed for a variety of reasons, but we hope that it will provide a good deal more stability and functionality than previous versions. However it should be regarded as of "alpha" quality for a short shakedown period. We would like user feedback to help us improve the quality of R. You can do this by

I've modified the "$RHOME/bin/R" and "$RHOME/cmd/filename" so that you can use the same directories for multiple machines. That is, machines running various flavors of UNIX can access the same directories. The modified structure adds the directories $RHOME/bin/$OSTYPE/ $RHOME/lib/$OSTYPE/ to hold the machine specific binaries. For instance, here the $RHOME directory

>From R-core; this should interest most R-devel'ers (to some extent): Since 0.60, the semantics of as.numeric(<factor>) has changed, e.g. R> as.integer(factor(c("A","BB"))) [1] NA NA R> as.integer(factor(c(100,40,100))) [1] 100 40 100 whereas older R and S: S> as.integer(factor(c("A","BB"))) [1] 1 2 S>

I've installed R on AIX. For starters, this did not work out of the box. I got the following error message: cd graphics; make gcc -g -I../include -c gdevice.c In file included from /usr/include/sys/lockf.h:41, from /local/gnu/lib/gcc-lib/rs6000-ibm-aix4.1.3.0/2.7.2.1/include/unistd.h:354, from /usr/include/fcntl.h:156, from

I installed the latest version of R (Version 0.50 Alpha-4) and it breaks survival4 as follows (it worked fine under Version 0.50 Alpha-3) R> library(survival4) Autoloading required library: splines R> survfit(Surv(runif(25),rbinom(25,1,0.4)) ~ 1) Error in eval(frame, data)[subset, , drop = FALSE] : incorrect number of dimensions Thanks E.

I ran a function called BoxCox, taken from the book by Venables and Ripley, for checking the need for power transformation. This function works fine using the version 0.50 of R, but gives an error message with version 0.60. The lm function in version 0.60 is different from that in version 0.50. Is there a bug in the new lm function? Kung-Sik Chan >

I am encountering difficulty with NextMethod in 0.50-a4. We created a class of groupedData objects which are data.frames with additional attributes. The most important attribute is a formula describing roles of some of the variables in the experimental design. The class of such objects ends in "groupedData", "data.frame". The print method for the groupedData class simply

I was trying to make some multi figure plots and I had some strange problems. I'm using R 0.61.2. When I make this plot >postscript(file="timeplot5.ps",horizontal=TRUE) >par(mfrow=c(2,2)) >plot(dados$a1) >plot(dados$a2) >plot(dados$a3) >plot(dados$a4) The last panel is ploted without the box and it is always ploted in landscape mode. Can anyone reproduce this

Hello R-helpers, I tried to do "make test" , and it is failing: data() Error: stack overflow ?data Error: Stack overflow data(rivers) Error: incorrect tag type R also initially it balked at: apropos("\\\\[") So, I skipped it :-) This stuff is working on R-0.50-a4 that I have. Anyone built R-0.60.1 on hpux?? Best regards, Osman
