I'm trying to install R on a Red Hat 3.0.3 system, but cannot seem to get dyn.load() to fuction. The configure script says: checking for dlopen in -ldl... no And compiling fails at ../lib/libunix.a Any suggestions? What should I do to be able to use dyn.load()? I cannot upgrade the system to a higher version of Red Hat, but I will probably get away with installing some new

I'm feeling kinda stupid right now, but I'm actually having problems compiling R-0.62.3 on a Red Hat 5.1 Linux system. I'd be happy if someone could point out for me where to look to fix the problem. I've included the output from the compiling below. Thanks for any help. Fredrik make -f Makefile.2nd all make[1]: Entering directory `/home/fredrigl/R-0.62.3' Building R cd

There is a problem with `rpois'. It does seem to take care about the order of the arguments. This is an example: > rpois(n=1,lambda=2) [1] 3 > rpois(lambda=2,n=1) [1] 2 0 It obviously uses the first argument as the number of samples to be drawn, which is wrong. I used Version 0.49 Beta (April 23, 1997). Fredrik

I read in the FAQ that `Inf'-values are not supported in R. I find this kinda awkward, as I use `Inf' quite often in S-Plus, and hence need to rewrite my programs to fit them into R. Is R planned to support `Inf' in the near future? Fredrik =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= r-help mailing list -- Read

Hello, A small problem I can't solve > p <- 0.0001 > p [1] 1e-04 How can I force the printout of p to 0.0001? I have tried 'format', 'round', 'signif', 'print' in different combinations without success. Fredrik Lundgren

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you! To clarify some questions in the recent thread on the timeslab package (sorry that I couldn't participate in the discussion, but I normally don't read my email on weekends): *) Nobody should be able to download from the incoming section at our site. That it was possible (again) was due to recursive link and some lazy sysadmins which now have some more things

I'm using R for calculations and plots in a statistical paper. Is there a canonical reference to use in the bibliography?

Dear R users, That's probably a silly question even for a newbie but : Is it possible to assign variable prices as variable names ? For instance, would something like the following work : for (i in 1:4) { error.i <- some_calculation } so "error.i" variables would be created for i=1,2,3,4 i.e. error.1 error.2 error.3 etc. etc. Costas --

Hello! I have installed Wine 0.9.55 (pretty sure of that) on my Mandriva 2008. I tried to install the game GUN from Neversoft. (It works fine on windows Vista). On the distribution it says that it is compatible on Windows 2000 and XP. But when I try to install it it seems to work, but when I try to run it I get an error in a popup. Right now I'm at office and do not exactly remember the

I have a problem with my Asterisk system. When I use my phone to call my office mailbox I have to end my password with #.

Is there any way to change the transfer button or remove it ? Fredrik

Is there any way to end up somewhere in between the development environment and production environment as far as refreshing the source on every request. Our setup is that we work off of nfs shares which makes it extremely slow for a page load in development since it has to pull in the whole app on each request. I''m used to it by now and only get a few changes in an hour :). Just curious

Hi there, after several problems with installing R on a Debian server It now finally works at least roughly. With roughly I mean that the 'core' function do work properly, but I'm still having problems with the image export.
