There needs to be more recognition in the academic community of the importance of contributions to widely used software. While many organizations are encouraging software development if it generates revenue, it is harder to measure the value of software that you give away. It is often hard to measure the number of users, so unless they mention you in citations, there is little hard evidence to

Should be simple and perhaps I'm tired but it's not coming to me. In its simplest form... for old in `cat "$FILENAME"`;do echo "$old" dirname "$old" new="$(echo $old | sed 's/\*/\-/')" done I'm trying to take out some stupid Macintosh things - in this case filenames with asterisks but I have others like tilde's and probably

I have found that lower cased boolean operators such as "and" or "or" does not work. Of course I never forget setting FLAG_BOOLEAN_ANY_CASE flag. QP seems to treat them as terms.

I frequently use Makefiles to manage routine data manipulations and repeated analyses where the "raw" data tend to change with time. With S/Splus, this has worked quite naturally, as long as I'm careful to use S object names that map directly to Unix/Linux filenames. For example, say I'm building a particular graphic (chart.ps) from a data.frame in S (mydata) that comes from an

All, I'm in the process of migrating a samba server from Solaris 10 (running 3.0.37) to Solaris 11 Express (running 3.5.5). The system is joined to a Win2k3 Active Directory. Migrating the configuration worked fine, the shares are available and everything mostly works as intended. The problem we're having is with the syntax of authentication requests from Windows client machines. On the

Dear John Fox, Christian Kleiber, and Achim Zeileis, I am attempting to run various independent variable parameters to assess their suitability. Unfortunately, I hit a snag and couldn't get the tests to run properly. When I used ivreg, I got an error message saying: "Error in eval(predvars, data, env) : object 'WageInequality' not found." Can you please help? Model:

Hi folks: I think I'm having problems with figuring this one out: test1 <- function() { n <- 2 for(i in 1:n) { cat(paste("i =", i, "\n")); flush.console() n <- 5 # version 1 #n <<- 5 # version 2 #assign("n", 5, envir = environment(test1)) # version 3 } } I need the for(.) loop to run (say) n=5 times within the

On the Mambo CMS site there are vulnerabilities found. Whilst this is not a CentOS problem, people rent/deploy servers (CentOS) on the net with Mambo. A guy in one of the user forums on the net, had his Mambo 4.5.2 server hacked and they installed some interesting stuff in /tmp . When a server is hacked it gives bad PR for the underlying OS. <----announcement on

I installed R-2.1.0 from source on a Linux box running Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 4 but install.packages() wouldn't work (see below).

Hi, I often use the mod() and instring() functions that are available in the clim.pact package. This package has a lot of dependencies, including installation of netCDF, and I haven't yet been able to get library(clim.pact) to work on a Mac OS 10.4.6. A previous request for help with the Mac problem yielded no results, so now I wonder if I could just extract the definitions for the couple

This is the first time I have tried Centros and I must say that I am a very happy camper. But maybe my needs/goals are simple: I need HTTP and FTP servers that support Apache, PHP and Interbase (yes, that "funny" DB that runs and runs). RH 9 was like that and so was FC 3, BUT FC 4 was something else...could not even get it to install (like others). And this forum has been VERY
