similar to: porting R package to Splus

Would it be hard to make the X11 device driver in R accept general X11 resources? In particular I would like to be able to set the title of the graphics window when I start it up. (Note this is not the same thing as the title of a plot but rather is the character string visible to the window manager, and usually goes in a titlebar on top.) For example in Splus one can do > motif('-xrm

The initial authors of R said?, "...we implemented the language by first writing an interpreter for a Scheme subset and then progressively mutating it to resemble S." Further on in that article they elaborated that their strategy was to create a parser that would take expressions in S-like syntax and translate them to Scheme S-expressions. Does R still work that way? Can R be made to

I tried ot build rpvm in my own makefile. But runs into some linker errors like e.g. undefined reference to `_R_alloc' My enviornment looks like this: CYGWIN pvm 3.4 compiled under cygwin myself R installed from the rw2001.exe setup file. I guess that the R under rw2001.exe was build with some other compiler? I then tried to compile R myself under CYGWIN but runs into the following

Hello R enthusiasts, I am working with a Fedora Core 6 OS and R 2.5. I have just finished loading PVM on my test cluster and this is working properly. Also, rpvm has been loaded in R. However, when I try to load my test program, I receive this error: Loading required package: rpvm Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) ; unable to load shared library

I am trying to install the rpvm package doing this: C:\R\rw2000\bin>rcmd install rpvm_0.6-2.tar.gz '.' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I am replying to the email below my signature; it is nominally about dmp files, but apparently specific to problems with Bill DuMouchel's hblm program. I have been using this program on Splus for years, and ran into some of the same problems Jack did in trying to get it into R. I talked with Bill about it, and he didn't know that there would be any problems; he assumed that R was

Hello, I'm trying to install the rpvm package under Windows, but I am having problems. I have pvm3.4 installed properly. I've defined the system variables PVM_ROOT = C:\PROGRA~1\pvm3.4\ PVM_ARCH = win32 When I try to install, I get this: C:\R\Packages>Rcmd INSTALL rpvm_1.0.1.tar.gz ---------- Making package rpvm ------------ **********************************************

I've trying to fix the check error in rpvm package. Right now on my Mac, I use darwinport to install PVM and I can get rpvm to pass the check using 'R -arch x86_64 CMD check'. However the default 'R CMD check' uses i386 which fails since PVM is built for x86_64 only. So is there a way to ensure proper architecture is used that matches that of the external library like PVM?

Dear Friends, I'm trying to learn to use parallel computation using snow & rpvm Now, I have two boxes: 1) Pentium 4, pvm 3.4.5, R 2.2.0 with FreeBSD 5.4 (box uffbsd); 2) PowerPC, pvm 3.4.5, R 2.1.1 with Debian Linux latest stable (box powerpclinux); I'm using the instructions in (found in snow.pdf) http://www.stat.uiowa. edu/~luke/R/cluster/cluster.html.

Hi all, I'm trying to get the snow package with mpi working on my linux ubuntu 10.04 machine. When I tried to install it (see below) it already had problems with the dependencies.

I see about 7 different R packages for multi-process parallel programming. Which do you think is the best, most complete, and most robust to pick for general purpose Erlang-style message-passing programming in R, and why? First here's my use case, and then my analysis so far. I often have code whose basic organization looks something like this: 1. Fetch step: For each date, gather up or

Hi all, When upgrading to 2.11.1 recently I noticed different results being produced by my code. After much digging I have finally narrowed it to a call to nlm(). This can be replicated by: FixedRemovals<-1836180125888 AbStageInitial<-2223033830403 Rates<- 0.3102445 nlm(function(rootM,Abund,Loss,OtherM) {(Loss-(rootM/(rootM+OtherM)* (1-exp(-(rootM+OtherM)))*

Hi all, I am having a problem trying to declare a slot representation to hold a file connection. With V2.8.0 I had been using: setClass("Element", representation( [other slots removed], datafileConn = setOldClass(c("file","connection")) ) ) This resulted in a warning but still ran okay. No however with V2.9.0 I am getting

Thanks to Luke Tierney, Agustin Lobo, Stephen Eglen, A.J. Rossini, Simon Wood and Timothy H. Keitt for responding to my question about poor man's parallel processing. Much of the substantive material was cc'ed to r-help already, but my take is as follows. 1) Currently, there is nothing "simple" for solving my problem. 2) I thought that Timothy Keitt's description of the use

Hi, I am working on producing an R package containing mostly S4 classes and methods. I have generated and filled out all the necessary .Rd files but find that once installed I am unable to access help pages for the classes using the ?package::classname-class syntax that is suggested when using the ?? apropos search. This lists my package classes and the class help pages. Instead, the
