similar to: R-base on Mandrake 8.1

I've installed Netscape 6.2.2 on Mdk82, but have not had much luck with help.start() (R-1.5.0 compiled from source). When I do help.start(), it just starts up netscape with the default home page, rather than the R help page. Doing ?<anything> at the R prompt starts up yet another netscape instance, but still no R help. Anyone knows why, or even better, how to solve this? Regards,

Hallo all; I've built the usual Mandrake rpm for R 1.9.1, it will be picked up by Martyn and subsequently propagate through CRAN in the next couple of days or so. Impatient folk could also download a copy from a link on my home page ( web.rossoalice.it/michele.alzetta/ ). This time I've only prepared an rpm for mandrake 10.0 official, and the reason is soon told: both my home systems

R 1.5.1 is due to come out ... and I've just noticed that the R help.start page search applet doesn't work on my Mandrake 8.2 system even though I've upgraded mozilla to version 1.0 and I have a perfectly working java (all right, I'm using 1.4.0 now, but with mozilla 0.98 and java 1.3.1 it still didn't work). I had thought the problem due to a too-old mozilla version, but it

I installed the new rpm from CRAN for R 1.4 for Mandrake Linux 8.1, after getting blas and libgcc from rpmfind.net. When I do update.packages() the system goes to update grid, lattice, and mgcv. I get compile errors for two of them. Apparently R is looking for gcc 3.0.1 or later but 8.1 uses 2.9x which is required for other Mandrake applications (i.e., I get a dependency error when trying to

The RPM of R-1.3.0 for Mandrake 8.0 is now available on CRAN in the complete and correct version.

When I install the new RPM for Mandrake 8.1, it fails and cannot find: libblas.so.3, libgcc_s.so.1, and libgcc_s_so.1 (GLIBC_2.0). Any help would be very much appreciated.

[ If this is considered off-topic please let me know in private mail. ] With the current version of the glibc library in Debian's "testing" and "unstable" distributions, ldconfig now loads the ATLAS optimised BLAS without any user intervention beyond installation of the Atlas and R or Octave packages.

Rhelpers: I recently installed the 64-bit version of R on my Debian system, and afterwards was asked if it was compiled using ATLAS. Is there a way to test to see if R is using ATLAS? --j

At a snail's pace I keep on translating an introduction to R into italian; I have reached the section describing the glm() function, in which some example code is presented. The very last line of code, before the beginning of the section on Poisson models is: ldp <- ld50(coef(fmp)); ldl <- ld50(coef(fmp)); c(ldp, ldl) which of course gives results 43.663 and 43.663; the correct code

dear debian-R group: I am using the stock ubuntu binary R 3.0.1 for ubuntu raring but on cinnamon mint olivia 15. I read dirk's gcbd paper from a couple of years ago. it suggests that stock blas is pretty bad compared to the four main alternatives. of course, dirk also maintains the binaries for debian/ubuntu R, so he probably knows the answer off hand. I installed libatlas3-base

Hi, everybody. I notice debian packages for Ubuntu on CRAN are missing "libRblas.so" and I'm trying to find out why. Why do I care? We are working in an hpc project in a CentOS Linux cluster. That led me to the question of "which BLAS is fastest?" Dirk E referred me this morning to the R admin manual. The standard R compilation creates a shared blas library libRblas.so

I have run across a minor problem which would seem to be a bug in the install-info.pl script. My data regard R 1.6.2 but I don't suppose the script has been changed so perhaps this could be fixed for R 1.7.0. Someone mailed me saying they could not recompile my R 1.6.2 src.rpm for mandrake 9.1. This was the error message: ..... Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files

I've attempted to use the optimized GotoBLAS2 library with a freshly compiled R-2.11.1 patched on 64-bit Ubuntu 10.4. (See details below). When I run this version of R, the timings are not different than the original install, and only one core is used in test computations. Can someone point out my error? Thanks. --Dale Details ...
