similar to: R-beta: netscape/R interaction [color allocation]

Using netscape 4.03 (or 2.x or 3.x)/ R-0.62.1 with SPARC Solaris 2.4: when netscape is running for help, graphics in R quit with "Color allocation error". Closing netscape removes the problem. netscape does not interfere with other X11 imaging programs including ghostscript and ImageMagick except that it increases the contrast in my mailer windows slightly. (netscape does block

Dear helpers, thanks. Installation of R and packages (like integrate) successful done. The LD_LIBRARY_PATH wasn't set in the correct order: system libs ahead of the compiler lib. Cross checks provided by Brian Ripley, Oxford, helped a lot.

With R-62.1 on Solaris 2.4, configure says the system has regcomp though I do not know where it is getting that information. The Solaris 2.4 regex and other regular expression functions are not interchangeable with the GNU regex and libraries used by sub() and gsub(). Hence it is necessary to acquire the GNU version and to get it into the load path ahead of the system libraries to load it rather

demo("graphics") notes that a circle (piechart) is a test of monitor linearity. With a new monitor on a new linux system with R-0.65.0 I get an ellipse. This is not a pincushion effect and the major/minor axis ratio is constant over size and screen location variation. Is this a hardware problem or are there alternative possible explanations to explore? Gordon M. Harrington Mail: 3720

Previously I had problems with data(foo) and Gass and I had problems with help(). His diagnostic was "POSIX regular expressions not available" and mine was "invalid regular expression". Martin Maechler has no problems with Solaris 2.5 and suggested a regular expression library was needed, e.g., regex-x.xx. Solaris 2.4 has regex.o in /usr/ccs/libgen.a and regex.h in

Several multiple definition fatal errors occur compiling R-0.62.2 and more with 0.62.3 using the Sun native compiler SC2.0.1. Earlier versions of R did not present the problem. It does not occur with gcc. The problem lies in the SC2.0.1 library in sunmath.h which is not fully ANSI compliant. The compiler, with appropriate options, compiles non-ANSI usages but does not recognize alternatives as

After many helpful suggestions from many including Brian Ripley, Peter Dalgaard, Martin Maechler, Douglas Bates, and Tristan Savatier--it is clearly time to upgrade my system from SPARC-10 Solaris 2.4. Rational choice of configuration should be based on intended application and perhaps the fact it is my pension, not my university, which now finances my research. My most demanding applications

It is largely due superstition, but if you change f before calling split<-() you have split() and

Hi, [some background] I have a dataset which describes a number of subjects doing a "scientific discovery". That is, they have to discover the rules underlying a particular domain. To do so, they have to set the levels of 5 variables which leads to a certain outcome. To identify what kind of "experiments" the subjects did, I want to combine these levels into one variable

even for people who didn't like the outcome of the US elections this year, it must have been a joy to see all the nice (and not so nice) graphs that were shown. As an exercise, I recreated the map shown on the NY-Times website [ http://www.nytimes.com/packages/khtml/2004/11/03/politics/ 20041103_px_ELECT_GRAPHIC.html ] If you're interested,

Hi, first of all, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you "answer guys" for giving such detailed answers. I think I've learned about as much from all these answers as from the different S/R documents I've read so far. Anyway, I ran into a incompatability between S and R, that is, R does not know the "ticks=T/F" argument to functions like axis and

A couple of days ago I posted some elisp code that asks the user for confirmation before deleting a process buffer, e.g. the *R* buffer. However, this code was only evaluated if a buffer was killed by means of [C-x k]. The following code does not need to be bound to a particular key, it's internally called by kill-buffer. (Also works if buffer is deleted in other ways, e.g., [C-x C-c].)

After some fiddling around with the tapply command, I discovered that the factors (the INDEX argument) given to tapply must be specified in fastest-cycling first order. The following code shows how I discovered my error: (R version 1.2.1) -o-o-o-o-o- x <- as.data.frame(list(data=c(-9,0,3,1,-9,1,0,-9,0,3,1,-9,1,0), subj=c(rep(1,7),rep(2,7)),

This _may_ be another example of the "space" problem. Numeric fields with embedded spaces have often been converted to factors by read.table (although I confess to not having the latest version). I usually use tr -d ''\40'' < oldfile > newfile to remove the spaces and have no problem. Jim

Dear r-helpers, we have installation problems: Successful installation of R-0.63 base package on Solaris 2.5.1 with the SunSoft compilers f77, c version 4.2. We habe problems with the installation of further packages e.g. integrate from CRAN. R code works but the shared objects built from fortran code do not find the appropriate libs with functions like __pow_ii or __epx at runtime. We tried

A couple of months ago, probably using an older version of R, R used to run the following code just fine: library("foreign") data.exp1 <- as.data.frame(read.spss("dataDef.sav")) Issuing the same commands now (after starting R using --vanilla), gives me the following behavior: > library("foreign") > x <- read.spss("dataDef.sav") Error

I'm trying to get Sweave running for automatic report generation, and it seems to run fine when just using verbatim output. However, I've ran into a problem with xtable. I would like to print the following matrix using xtable: > dim(counts) [1] 19 15 All columns are filled with real/integer numbers > 0 and < 1000. Just typing xtable(counts) gives correct LaTeX output, but
