similar to: R-beta: Re: Choice of Linux

In R "help(package=pkg)" or "library(help=pkg)" seems to behave like 'more' or 'less' or something that looks like one of these. Under RedHat this behaves normally: at the end of help it reverts automatically to the R prompt '>'. In SuSe it doesn't jump back to the prompt automatically: I see something like "line 1/28 (end)" and then I

Up to now I have got the base R and about half of the packages working on SuSe Linux 5.3 using gcc, g77 and xdevel. The other half, for example: pspline, logspline, KernSmooth, akima, tripack, ppr, principal.curve, cluster, funfit, repeated, event, etc., just won't install. Some of them give warnings at expressions in subroutines (repeated, event, pspline,etc.. I will ask about this in

On my RedHat 5.1 machine at the office I am happily using R installed from Martyn Plummer's RPM's of R-62.3 for RH 5.1 At home I have SuSe Linux 5.3 on my PC and as RH 5.1 is libc6 based and SuSe 5.3 is still libc5 based the RH 5.1 RPM's do not install and work on SuSe (even though they have a test version of glibc). So I downloaded R-0.62.3.tgz from www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/R and tried

The reasons are roughly summarized by the analogy that a smaller part of a big pie is often better than a bigger part of a small pie. Mathsoft's limited success in addressing the student market has

Have just compiled and installed R-65.0 on RH 6.0 with all the latest updates for RH and Gnome (including `libglade-0.3-1.i386.rpm' and `libglade-devel-0.3-1.i386.rpm' from RH ftp). R.X11 works OK. But when I try `R --gnome' I get a segmentation fault/core dump with the messages: Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkfont.c: line 174 (gdk_font_id): assertion `font != NULL' failed.

Can anybody explain what is happening? I am using RedHat Linux 5.0 with the latest Martyn Plummer RPM's installed, both at home and at the office. At home "survival4" is (still) working OK. At the office all the components ('survfit', 'survdiff', 'coxph, etc..) stop with an error message that they can't 'find' or 'load' the C binaries:

No. One use for setting mfg is to produce a page of plots in portrait orientation with, say, two small plots on the top half of the page

I thought R users might be interested (surprised) to hear that R will have some competition on Linux now.

Thanks to Peter Dalgaard's message, I learned a bit more about the 'par' function and rewrote my HTML help file accordingly. Is it appropriate to submit such changes somewhere to improve the documentation? I would also be willing to write some missing documentation as well.

list.files() (and dir()) don't appear to return names of directories when one uses the recursive=T argument. E.g., > dir(file.path(R.home(),"library"), pattern="^R$", recursive=T) [1] "Malmig/help/R" but the unix find commmand finds lots of R directories > z <- system(paste("find", file.path(R.home(),"library"), "-name

You may recall that I was recently constructing a function to bootstrap the coefficients in a linear regression model. In S-PLUS I was using the model.matrix function applied to the fitted model, then taking the QR decomposition of that. I discovered that it was in fact easier to accomplish the bootstrapping in R because the QR decomposition of the model matrix is stored with the fitted model.
