similar to: get command history?

Hello everyone, Thanks to the people who so kindly responded to my earlier query about how to get R to retrieve my previous command when I hit the up-arrow key. Several people pointed out to me that in order to enable this feature I need to re-install R with the GNU readline library. My question now is: how do I accomplish this? Can anyone tell me what changes I need to make to the

I am trying to build [R] v1.3.1 *locally* on a Sun Solaris 8 machine. One problem I am currently struggeling with is to make the command-line history function to work. I have installed GNU readline version 4.2 (latest version). Looking at the "config.log" file it seems that all readline related checks, e.g. "readline/history.h", passes (they did not before installing GNU

So far the only problem I've encountered is that my arrow keys no longer scroll through my command history, but give ^[OA and ^[OB instead. Left and right arrow navigation within a line is also broken. I checked

Hello, I'm having a problem trying to upgrade from R 1.6.0 to 1.7.0 on our Suns. We're running Solaris 8 and we're using gcc 3.2.3. The problem is that I get a bunch of error messages about a missing subroutine Rdconv::fill during the "make" of 1.7.0, although I didn't have this missing subroutine problem back when I installed 1.6.0. Can anyone suggest how I can

Hi! I have the following issues using "R for Mac OS X 2.2.1" (from the ppc-.dmg) on a Mac OS X 10.4.5: 1) The command history is never saved (automatically) to .Rhistory. (The file stays empty.) 2) If I save a history to some file via the "Save History" button, and I load it afterwards via "Load History", only the first entry of the saved History appears in

Suppose I run the following code in the R session. At the last prompt '>', I want to retrieve the second command (staring with 'y'). But I have to type up arrow many times, which is very inconvenient. I'm wondering if there is a way to configure R to skip block of code in the history? > x=list(a=c(1,2),b=c(3,4,5)) > y=list(a=c(1,2),b=c(3,4,5)) > lapply(seq(along=x)

g'day R friends, I was hoping someone could provide me with advice as to my dysfunctional 'arrow' keys. Instead of browsing thru my command history they just move my cursor. What have I done wrong? My TERM seems ok for other unix apps. I'm running under hpux 10.20 with R1.0.0 thanks, John Strumila -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Hi all, Are there any plans to add more functionality to command-line editing and history editing on the command line? In MATLAB (I know, comparisons are odious ...), you can type "p" and up-arrow on the command line and scroll through the recently entered commands beginning with "p". This is a very useful feature and something that I believe is not replicated in R. Please

Hi, I am using R 2.2.0 on Mac OS X 10.3.9. But I test the issue also with R 2.2.1 on OS X 10.4 (Tiger) I have a question regarding the functioning of the history from the command line. When I press the 'up-arrow' I call back the last command (everything ok), let's say that I go back until the level n-5, but when I get down to return to the empty line, I cannot reach the empty

Hi i'm new to R and find that the "history" functionality works a little different than in unix. A very convenient feature of history in unix is the ability to recall a comand by typing in !x where x is a letter and the latest matching command in the history that starts with the letter is (re)called. This is useful for instance, when calling a "source" command by !s rather

Greetings, I would like to add 3D arrows (i.e. arrow-headed vectors linking X1Y1Z1 to X2,Y2,Z2) to a 3D plot; ideally the sort of plot that can be rotated interactively. Is this possible using plot3d, or another 3d plotter in R? While it is easy to draw segments in plot3d (e.g. below), I haven't figured out how to add arrow heads, or to create 3d arrows from scratch. ##two headless

Hello everyone, I downloaded the latest Linux version of R and tried installing it, but during the installation process I found that this version of R requires tcl 8.3 and tk 8.3. The problem is that I've been unable to find Linux versions of tcl 8.3 and tk 8.3. The only Linux versions of tcl/tk I've been able to find are 8.4. Has anybody been successful in getting R to install on

arrows() seems to hang when either x or y scale of the plot is logarithmic and the arrows requested go beyond the plot (by more than a certain amount). I didn't go into C code to find it, but here's a function that exercises the bug a bit ... arrow.bug2 <- function(y0=1,y1=10,log="y") { plot(c(0.1,1),c(1,10),log=log) arrows(x0=0.5, y0=y0, x1=0.5,

Hello, I've been using Samba on a Sun server but we recently discontinued using the Sun and switched to using Samba on a RH linux server. I can't get file sharing to work on the new server. When I test the connection to the samba server (velar) by running smbclient //velar/homes -U eric I get an error message referring to NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME. I can't find any reason for this

Hello Jim, Thanks again. I am getting the two-headed arrow but I cannot seem to get the coordinates right for the arrow to appear beneath the map. These coordinates puts the arrow on the left hand side. Thanks again!

What's wrong with the Asterisk CLI history? When I exit the CLI, and re-enter, the last command in the history always defaults to 'stop now'. This is very bad, and it's caused accidental shutdowns more than once. Connected to Asterisk 1.2.9.1 currently running on hera (pid = 17399) Verbosity is at least 3 hera*CLI> A No such command 'A' (type 'help' for help)

Hi Milu, My fault here. As I don't have the data to make the map and try out my suggestions I mixed up the x and y coordinates.
