Hi, I run into a problem with "R CMD Rd2dvi" command: it gives me "File `Rd.sty' not found" error (See the output message on the bottom). I get the same error when running "RCMD check". My system is: Windows 2000, R version 2.0.1, MiKTeX version 2.4. I do have a Rd.sty file in R_HOME/share/texm directory. I looked through newsgroups for any related discussions

Below are a few problems I have encountered with the new checks being done in R-devel. 1/ I have two generics, test.equal and test.equal.tframe. The first checks that two objects are equal while the second checks if two objects have equal tframes (time frames). There is no reason these should have similar arguments but the check seems to think that test.equal.tframe is a method for test.equal so

The bug list summary reported an error in syskern which I finally realized is due to a badly chosen example in the help rather an error in the code. However, I have taken the opportunity to re-evaluate what I have been trying to do with syskern, since some parts may no longer be important. Since syskern was intended to address certain problems in package development I would appreciate other

If I execute R CMD Rd2dvi foo.Rd I get messages of the form: Converting Rd files to LaTeX ... foo.Rd Creating dvi output from LaTeX ... Saving output to 'foo.dvi' ... cp: .Rd2dvi4366/Rd2.dvi: No such file or directory Done xdvi-xaw: Fatal error: foo.dvi: No such file. Indeed if I add the --no-clean flag and then cd to the .Rd2dvi<whatever> directory, I find that there is no

Is there any way of getting just the LaTex output which R CMD Rd2dvi generates on the way to produces a .dvi file, which could then be incoorporated into another document?

Hi, I run R 2.5.1 on Mac OS 10.4.10 and fail to build a package manual. Below is the transcript. The problem is a "pdflatex: command not found" error but I think that I have a fully working latex install (installed with iInstaller) as I use TeXShop with no problem. Could someone help?

Hello everybody I'm am trying to build a pdf out of the Rd files that i wrote for a package, so that I can attach it to my thesis. if i Run Rd2pdf (or Rd2dvi) I get this error massage: Hmm ... looks like a package Converting Rd files to LaTeX . Creating pdf output from LaTeX ... Error in texi2dvi("Rd2.tex", pdf = (out_ext == "pdf"), quiet = FALSE, : Running

syskern (`Functions for writing code that is OS and R/S independent', an amazing description given the reality) fails Rcmd check on Windows, and also gives incorrect information where it does work. There are already correct OS-independent functions for these purposes in R. It appears not to be needed to run the other three packages in the dse bundle, but to be the only R package that

A slightly revised version of my DSE package for multi-variate time series analysis is now available at <www.bank-banque-canada.ca/pgilbert>. This version works with R 0.90.1 (and not with R 90.0 or earlier versions). It can also be installed with install.packages(c("syskern", "tframe", "dse"),

Hi Does anyone know of any R routines to send emails from R, under Windows? I thought about writing such a facility using the R(D)COM package to drive e.g. MS Outlook, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel. I have found a function Sys.mail in the library syskern, but this only works under Unix by shelling out a mail command. Thanks, David

I've just been reviewing some functions in my syskern library. This library was set up originally to provide me with a way to program around small R/S differences and to encapsulate some operating system requests in one place, so that these problems would not be spread throughout my code. Over the years the need for many of the programs in this library has disappeared. I have always worked

One of the functions I would like to clean out of my syskern package is a program to send mail. This is a common feature other programs (e.g. bug.report) may use so I would like it to be included in R/base. I will volunteer to do this as it looks like a fairly straightforward dissection of bug.report but I have some questions: Has anyone done this already? Is "mail" a good name or

I'm having some trouble figuring out latest.start in the tframe package. The results seem a bit cloudy. Sample session: > library(ts) > library(tframe) Loading required package: syskern > t1<-ts(c(1,2,3,4,5),start=1) > t2<-ts(c(1,2,3,4,5),start=2) > earliest.start(tbind(t1,t2)) [1] 1 1 > earliest.start(tbind(t2,t1)) [1] 1 1 > latest.start(tbind(t2,t1)) [1] 1 1

In Windows, I tried to build and check Paul Gilbert's dse bundle with the command rcmd check ../library/dse It ran for a while and built the packages, then failed at the end with this: ** checking Rd files ...

On a CentOS 7 machine, I am at a loss with respect to an inability to run a full R CMD check as anything involving tex files ends in tears. We followed the README at CRAN and installed a large number of tex-live packages on this machine. But when a manual is created, we end up with what follows below. Here, I chopped some of the error messages, the key seems to be 'Insufficient extension
