similar to: 2: C locale ?? Using csh??

Hi all, Help! My help system is not functioning: >help.start() Making links in ~/.R ... If netscape is already running, it is *not* restarted, and you must switch to its window. Otherwise, be patient.. > C locale package not found. Using C locale by default. The netscape never comes up .. What could be wrong here? I have been experimenting with getting Rggobi running which may have

Hi all, I am fancying the idea of using my preferred shell (t)csh when invoking system(). How can I do that? (I didn't find anything about that in the FAQ).

Hi, Using help under help.start() is working fine (html) Q1: using > ?solve results in the message "sh: ~/R/tmp/R4f32S1cfb: cannot open" displayed in the XEmacs buffer "help[R](solve)". BUT there exists a file R.R4f32S167e in that directory. (not quite the same name). Does the "sh: " prefix suggest that the shell "sh" is run, although my

Hi there, (sorry Martin, ich habe den falschen Empfaenger erwischt :-( ) Is there a function in the base package or elsewhere which returns TRUE and not NA, even if NA is involved: (I did not find in the help system :-( ) if ( x==something & !is.na(something)) or if ( x==something & !is.na(x==something)) If "something" is complicated, a function would be handy. Thanks

Hi, I am trying to install ggobi for R under Solaris SunOS 5.5.1 Generic_103640-27 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise following the instructions in INSTALL under e) R interface, although I have some modifications in mind: I am planning to keep the sources (untarred and unzipped) in /home/woodstock/hoffmann/R/Sources/Rggobi and I have set setenv GGOBI_ROOT $HOME/R/Sources/Rggobi (with $HOME =

Hi all, I have a problem with plotting: (R-1.2.2 on SunOS fluke 5.5.1 Generic_103640-27 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise solaris 2.)

Thanks for the tip to p.dalgaard and Prof Brian Ripley: For reasons that I have forgotten, the value of an assignment function is always passed using an argument called "value", so try changing "sub" to "value". The last argument of any assignment function has to be named `value'. This is different from S, and is in the FAQ, section 3.3.3: "In R, the last

Hi, I am trying to create the assignment function: "substring<-" <- function(text, first, last=100000, sub) { if(is.character(first)) { if(!missing(last)) stop('wrong # arguments') return(sedit(text, first, sub)) } lf <- length(first) if(length(text)==1 && lf > 1) { if(missing(last)) last <- nchar(text) last <- rep(last,

I am running R-1.3.0 on Solaris 8: Under Solaris I do setenv dendro_us hoffmann echo $dendro_us gives back: hoffmann which is correct.

Hi all, May be there is a plot which shows 3 variables in a triangle, their sum being constant. I have forgotten its name, and a search in the engine using "plot" did not help. Does anyone know of such a procedure in R or S? Thank you --christian Dr.sc.math.Christian W.

Hi everyone, Being new to the crowd of R users I am wondering what the equivalent of attach("/home/bla/hoffmann/R/.RData",2) (S style) is in R. What I want is a split of .RData repositories.
