Hi, I'm running debian - upgraded fully to potato at the start of the freeze and added latest libgnome-dev before configuring. I tried compiling with gnome support with /usr/local/R/R-0.99.0/configure --with-gnome and got the following output: checking for gnome-config... /usr/bin/gnome-config checking if /usr/bin/gnome-config works... yes checking for orbit-config...

Hi, As a precaution against all the computers here (Griffith University, Australia) going down with the Y2K bug, all the computers are going down. The site that the R archives are on will be down for a number of days over the new year, and the machine which actually creates the HTML archive files will be down for longer. Apologies for the disruption. ---- Robert King, Australian Environmental

Hi, I've just upgraded my debian machine to the 2.1 libc6 libraries, and I started getting segmentation faults with R. I tried re-compiling and got the same problem. I checked with the dependencies for the binary package, and I have all the required libraries. Any ideas? Thanks, Robert. ---- Robert King, Australian Environmental Studies, Griffith University, Australia 3875 6677

I have two factors, WC and WD. If I want a table including all the values of each factor, including NAs, I can get a table by going: table(as.character(WC),as.character(WD),exclude=c()) Is there an easier way? I guess this is a feature request for table() Thanks, Robert. ---- Robert King, Australian Environmental Studies, Griffith University, Australia 3875 6677 Robert.King at

I don't want to re-invent the wheel, and I'm trying to code up something that does a Nelder-Mead simplex method to minimise a non-linear objective function. (I'm porting something I originally wrote in matlab, using the optimisation toolbox funciton fmins). Is there already something available to do this included in R? Do people have suggestions on the best way to do this? Thanks,

Hello All, I'm trying to install rattle from source on a AMD64 machine running etch. I have two packages installed from the etch backport (r-cran-rodbc and r-cran-rsprng) but all the rest installed from source. I'm trying to install rattle, but install.packages("rattle", dependencies=TRUE) Tries to install rggobi, which complains about the version of libggobi. Does

Hello, What am I doing wrong about creating an index for my package documentation? Using 2.9.2, I am checking the gld package. It reports the following (all earlier lines OK): * checking PDF version of manual ... WARNING LaTeX errors when creating PDF version. This typically indicates Rd problems. * checking PDF version of manual without index ... ERROR When I look in the gld.Rcheck

Thanks Piet & Johannes for the backports. There seems to be a problem with the files for the amd64 architecture getting out.

In July of 1999 Douglas Bates invited R users to implement an algorithm for non-negative least squares based on Bates and Wolf, 1984: Communications in Statistics, Part B 13:841-850. <http://www.ens.gu.edu.au/robertk/R/help/99b/0058.html> I'm wondering if anybody has implemented this or something similar so I won't have to reinvent the wheel. Thanks! Bob Abugov

Dear /Bill Paterson, while trying to find a way to convert SAS code into R, I came across your one time e-mail message (http://www.ens.gu.edu.au/robertk/R/help/99b/0908.html). I'd appreciate to learn if anything came out of this, or any suggestions.

Thank you Brian Ripley, Gardar Johannesson, and Marcel Wolbers for your prompt and friendly help! I will share any further learnings as I move through these suggestions. -Bob Abugov Brian Ripley wrote: I just use optim() on the sum of squares with non-negativity constraints.

Hi, I just transformed an old Pentium III 500 into a headless jukebox. It's installed in the basement, near the stereo. There's only a base CentOS system on it (GNOME unchecked, package customization checked and then everything unchecked). From there on, I just installed the ALSA utils, and vorbis-tools. The machine is only supposed to do one thing (and to do it well, UNIX philosophy

Background: I have 2 SMB Servers; one is configured to be the Preferred Master (fserver), the other (upstairs) is configured to just share some files. I want it to connect and update the WINS configuration on the Preferred Master. Configuration files for both servers are attached. Also worth mentioning that both the 'fserver' and 'upstairs' reside on the same network. Some

Hi everyone, I'd like a bit of information about the stereo mode settings in psych_44.h of libvorbis. Specifically, about the adj_stereo structure: typedef struct { int pre[PACKETBLOBS]; int post[PACKETBLOBS]; float kHz[PACKETBLOBS]; float lowpasskHz[PACKETBLOBS]; } adj_stereo; What I am attempting to do is bring lossless stereo coupling down to the lower quality levels in
