R users, I recently upgraded (?) to Windows XP from 2000. I am trying to build an R package. I have done this many times on my old system and I am not sure why it is not working in XP. To build the package I call a bat file that specifies all the necessary paths -- but the "build" file (which appears to be a perl script) is looking for a "src" subdirectory in the src

Has anyone had success building a package on a windows machine? I am trying the following command with no luck (perhaps my flags are incorrect?). At this point I am stuck. Any help greatly appreciated.

Dear Friends, Yesterday I posed a question to the list concerning the possibility of doing animation examples in R. Here is an example S-Plus (4.5 for Windows ) that I wrote to illustrate my problem. If I try this in R (comment out the graphsheet and guilocator calls) I don't see my results until after the function has iterated through the 100 trials. I would like to plot each iteration.

Dear R community, I am running R 2.0.1 on a Windoze XP OS. I recently upgraded from R 1.9x to 2.0.1 and I am currently upgrading a my personal function packages.

Hola! I have the following in a .Rd file: \eqn{\mbox{coef} = c(\mbox{coef}[1],\ldots, \mbox{coef}[n]) } {coef = c(coef[1], coef[2], \dots, coef[n])} However, both arguments come out in the latex file! Whats happening? Kjetil Halvorsen

I have written an R function that writes output to an external file using the sink function. I assume that `sink' is not operating system dependent. At the end of the function I have additional code that opens the newly created file using notepad on a Windows system. Obviously, this part of the code will not work on a Mac or Linux box. Since I do not have a machine with Linux or the Mac OS

Is R behaving correctly in this example? I do not understand why column 2 has any 2s in it (and why column 3 has any 1s) > x<-matrix(0,10,3) > x[seq(1,10,by=2),2:3]<-c(1,2) > x [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 0 1 2 [2,] 0 0 0 [3,] 0 2 1 [4,] 0 0 0 [5,] 0 1 2 [6,] 0 0 0 [7,] 0 2 1 [8,] 0 0 0 [9,] 0 1

R colleagues, I am stumped. I would like the inter-tick distances to be the same on the x and y axes but cannot determine how to do so when the lower half of the y axis is not printed. Thanks for any and all suggestions. (btw, setting par(pty="s") does not solve my problem) Niels Waller M<-matrix(c(2,1, -1,3),2,2,byrow=TRUE)

Hello! I was reading R-intro and I have some suggestions: R-intro.html#A-sample-session rm(fm, fm1, lrf, x, dummy) suggestion rm(fm, fm1, lrf, x, y, w, dummy) The next section will look at data from the classical experiment of Michaelson and Morley to measure the speed of light. file.show("morley.tab") mm <- read.table("morley.tab") suggestion mm <- data(morley)

Rcmd prints out the offending file, and in the printout I

install/update.packages() in R-devel has been enhanced in a few ways, notably to handle multiple repositories, and to allow packages to be reinstalled under the current version of R. 1) Currently they will ask if you want to delete the downloaded files (if any) *provided* destdir was not specified. In that case it uses a subdirectory of the per-session temporary directory, so the files will

Hola! I am writing a package with some large data files, so it would be good to use the feature of zipping data. However, I use .R files to read in the data from one (sometimes more) files, so Rcmd build --zip-data gives a package which does'nt work. How should I do it, is it better ti zip each data file individually and use the functions to read from zipped files, or are there some other
