I really don't think this is an R bug; sorry if I've got it wrong twice within a week. Using rw0632 on NT 4.0, I can get R running quite happily under ESS 5.1.3. However, whenever I use help(), although I do get the required help in a split screen, I also get the minibuffer error message: wrong argument type: processp, nil Note: I get this under ESS 5.0 as well. I could live with this,

I have downloaded rw0632 (Windows Version) from the CRAN at ETH Zuerich. Im working with NT4.0 Service Pack 4. I can start without any problems the GUI program Rgui.exe. But by using Rterm.exe (batch mode or with ESS respectivelly) I always get an error "the instruction at "0x10018ee8" referenced memory at ""......." Any ideas what is wrong? Best Regards Markus

1) I installed the latest ESS (Emacs Speaks Statistics) beta release on a machine running Linux. Since there is no S-PLUS product for Linux, I set the ess-site.el file for R, xlisp-stat, and S version 4. I.e., ;; (1.5) Require the needed dialects for your setup. ;;(require 'essd-s+3) (require 'essd-r) (require 'essd-xls) ;;(require 'essd-sas) ;;(require 'essd-s3) ;;

Debuggers, I wrote to r-help about this and was appropriately told off by Peter Dalgaard. I append that mail in case you have not seen it. Following Peter's advice I have attempted to simplify the problem. First note that the following does *not* fail (by which I mean crash, as in generate a memory access violation): > tmp<-matrix(c(1,0,0,1,1,1),2,3) >

Hi, I am using 0.63.2 on Windows. I have some functions programmed to do repetitive tasks and have some print(variables) statements to check how my program is progressing but get no output on screen (console) while the program is running. I tried CTRL-W as the help says but I get no screen output before each run terminates. Probably some kind of setting needs to be predefined correctly. Any

I just downloaded the NT version of R and cannot find anything concrete on loading packages. There is alot on how to do it under Unix. The windows FAQ briefly mentions it but does not explain it. I have donwloaded windows binaries of the package "clust.zip" and unzipped it into my c:\rw0632\library directory... So I have c:\rw0632\library\cluster Now what do I do ?

Hi folks, I was able to track down the problems I had with xemacs / ESS / cygwin / MS W2000 to the file "essd-r.el" in the ESS 5.1.18 package. ESS seems to think, it is running in a complete Unix environment and sends the wrong command line option ("--no-readline" instead of "--ess") to the MS W2000 executable "Rterm.exe". My temporary patch looks

I have huge problems to get additional packages working with rw0632. After copying the ctest package to library, I can do a > library(help = ctest) bartlett.test Bartlett Test for Homogeneity of Variances binom.test Exact Binomial Test ... which dutifully list the content of the package. But loading the package does not work: > library(ctest) Warning: Package

Using R (version 0.63.3) for MS windows, I try the following command > shell(paste("cd ",getenv("RHOME"),sep="")) which replies with an error message Too many parameters - FILES\RW0633 which appears to suggest that the space if the path name is causing difficulties to the cd command. getenv returns > getenv("RHOME") RHOME

Has anyone successfully installed ESS on Win95? I have emacs version 19.34.6 and R version 0.63.3. The ESS README and Makefiles seem pretty Unix-specific. -- Terry J.

I would like to be a new R user but I have hit a major road block at the start: After installing the rw0632 on NT4, Rterm and Rgui both crash. Running RTerm under gdb gives ...

I also have several packages in my RW0633 in Windoze and I would like to keep them in one place when I update the R system. Brian say to modify Rprofile to ..lib.loc <- c("c:/MyR/library",.Library) now Rprofile has a line like .lib.loc <- unique(c(unlist(strsplit(getenv("RLIBS"),":")),.Library) Sorry to be dense but where should I put the

Object name completion doesn't work on linux. On S+6 the problem seems to be that ESS uses the argument `inherits' and S+6 is expecting `inherit' .

Hello, I just tried the rw0640 version for Windows95. If I type link.html.help() a 1: appears. Does anyone knows what to type in after that, it seems that some input is required?

I'm attempting to build an R package for some of my own code (using NT x86, rw0640, cygwin b20.1) The problem is that some header files required to build libR.seem to be missing from the distribution $ make libR.a dataentry.c:20: Defn.h: No such file or directory dataentry.c:21: Print.h: No such file or directory These files were not part of the rw0640s archive, but I note that they exist

Hi I was trying to install a package (sgeostat) under windows but the r-faq only tells how to do it under unix. Question: 1) is there documentation on how install a package under windows?

I repeat my emails of 11/15/01 and 2/26/02, since it looks like this ESS bug is still not fixed in ESS 5.1.23, and I think some resolution is needed. When help() is invoked, ESS makes a copy of .Last.value in the .GlobalEnv, which is *not* where R normally stores it (R stores it in package:base). When this copy becomes stale it leads to wrong answers. The bug is in essd-r.el, lines 63-64:
