similar to: Command-line editing re-visited.

I've looked through the FAQ and can't find anything about this. I'm working on a Sun machine, running Solaris 2.7. I'm a new R-user; have been using Splus for millenia, and finally decided it was time I got going with R. So I downloaded R, installed it, fiddled about a bit, and found that command-line editing was absent. Scrounging through the documentation some more, I saw it

Hello, When launching R from a script, when queried it reports the following capabilities as false: jpeg, png, x11 and cledit. When R is run from a terminal session, all of these capabilities are reported true. R is running on FC4. As the purpose of this script is to output the png file to a browser, it is unable to complete because of this. Any ideas are appreciated. We have an identical

The linker will eventually complain about multiple definitions of this symbol. Solution: declare

Can anyone offer suggestion about getting readline to work on Solaris? (v1.5.1) When I use the up arrow or ctrl-p to try to repeat the last command my session just beeps. It appears that the .Rhistory file that should appear in my startup directory is not being created. Thanks! The screen shot below shows cled=TRUE and no .Rhistory file created: $ /apps/R-1.5.1/bin/R R : Copyright 2002, The

When I tried this, I'm having this error. Can somebody help me on this. Are there any alternatives or workaround for this? I'm having hard time to convince our admin to install X11 library and headers since they are not included on the default OS installation. Thanks in advance :) > jpeg("test.jpg") Error in jpeg("test.jpg") : X11 is not available >

Full_Name: Paul Gutwin Version: R-1.0.0 OS: AIX 4.2.1 Submission from: (NULL) (198.133.22.67) R-1.0.0 fails to compile. I'm using the config.cache file from a successful compliation of R-0.65.0 (prob #290, fixed thanks to Thomas Vogels @ CMU).

I get great flexibility with command-line editing through the "readline" library in the "bash" editor and the "ncftp" tool. S-Plus has this editing and I see in the preliminary "Notes on R: A Programming Environment for Data Analysis and Graphics", page 65, that "R -e" might give this functionality. Typically, one can use either vi or emacs

I'm running R 2.11 on Karmic. I'm having difficulty installing quite a few packages with the returned error message of "installation of package "[whatever the packages happens to be]" had non-zero exit status. I know this message sometimes is caused by incorrect or missing java packages and the like. I generally don't have issues with the installation of R or R packages

... when the replacement string is shorter than the portion of the string to be replaced? The documentation to substr (in R 1.3.1) gives me: If the portion to be replaced is longer than the replacement string, then only the portion the length of the string is replaced. And so I try: R> x <- "abcdef" R> substr(x,2,3) <- "xy" #ok R> x [1]

Hello. I'm afraid that I'm missing something very obvious this afternoon... When I add a column to a data.frame (by assigning to a "new" column name a logical vector), I thought that I had (at least) 3 options to do so: R> j <- data.frame (x=1:2) R> j$y <- c(TRUE,FALSE) #assignment 1 R> str(j) `data.frame': 2 obs. of 2 variables: $ x: int 1 2 $ y: logi

Dear Authors: Thanks for your advice on my question. However, it seems that it is not the reason that your told in your reply.

Hi all, I'm having trouble getting x11 to work with R. (This is on Debian testing.) I installed r-base and r-base-dev, and then r-cran-cairodevice.
