Hello All, I'm trying to install rattle from source on a AMD64 machine running etch. I have two packages installed from the etch backport (r-cran-rodbc and r-cran-rsprng) but all the rest installed from source. I'm trying to install rattle, but install.packages("rattle", dependencies=TRUE) Tries to install rggobi, which complains about the version of libggobi. Does

I use the ugly hack shown below as my .Rprofile (mainly because I couldn't find any other way to spawn a new mozilla window on starting R or calling help.start(), but then send all the help html documents to that new window). With a recent change from a cvs checkout to the released 1.9.0 I find that the new hs() appears if there is nothing of that name in .RData, but if there is the old hs()

I'm testing a FC5 machine for use in a student lab. R 2.3.1 is installed and seems to work fine. There is one peculiarity - the logins are authenticating to a server, and a "verbose" flag is set somewhere, leading to lots of spurious messages like this request done: ld 0xa227598 msgid 1 which may be confusing R. However, R CMD check seems to fail for packages with no

Thanks Piet & Johannes for the backports. There seems to be a problem with the files for the amd64 architecture getting out.

Anyone know what's up w/ tolstoi.newcast.edu.au (home of the threaded R-help archives)? I've got a "can't connect" for several days now. Carl

Dear all, It is my pleasure to announce the immediate availability of R 2.8.0 for the current Debian stable release on CRAN. Source packages and binaries for i386 and amd64 are at your disposal. I also updated the README to include a short howto for using R 2.8.0 from unstable on testing (lenny), which is currently frozen. This currently pulls the current pcre from unstable, next to the current

I'm tidying up the gld package at the moment, and the following is my best effort at checking if values are outside the range of the function (which is [0,1] in this case). It seems incredibly messy - is there something better? outside.range <- !as.logical(((p<1)*(p>0))|(sapply(p, all.equal,1)=="TRUE")|(sapply(p, all.equal, 0)=="TRUE")) ---- Robert King,

A heuristic runs via the r-base-core package postinst. It is intended to use the result from Debian's paperconf(1) toool, and to update the R environment variable R_PAPERSIZE accordingly. This apparently broke some time ago when R changed to a dual variable setup, and my regexp didn't notice. Does anybody use this, or is it ok if I simply disable this in Debian? In that case we simply

I'm trying to track down a rather critical problem. This happens both on Debian's current unstable as well a from anoncvs built this morning, reinstalling MASS. Is anyone else seeing this or am I just broken and special? 609$ /home/Rdevel/bin/R R : Copyright 2004, The R Foundation for Statistical Computing Version 1.9.0 Under development (unstable) (2004-03-04), ISBN 3-900051-00-3 R

Hello, What am I doing wrong about creating an index for my package documentation? Using 2.9.2, I am checking the gld package. It reports the following (all earlier lines OK): * checking PDF version of manual ... WARNING LaTeX errors when creating PDF version. This typically indicates Rd problems. * checking PDF version of manual without index ... ERROR When I look in the gld.Rcheck

Its possible to corrupt the binary if you actually open it in a browser, and the browser tries to display it, and then you save it. Have you tried right-clicking on the link to download it? Robert.

I am new to this listand am unable to get the search tools listed on https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help towork. What do people use to search the help archives? 1. The google search box on http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/ returns a 404 error. 2.

r-help: I have an R package suggestion. After spending several hours the other day installing about a dozen packages, I had an idea. In xemacs, there is a "sumo" package which allows me to install a large bundle of xemacs packages at one time (about a 120 modes including ESS). I think R should have a similar bundle. It would be so much easier than hunting/downloading/installing.

Hi there, Does it already exist a library in R to draw maps (something like a Generic Mapping Toolbox, http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu/ port). I've seen in an old R-help that Ross Ihaka once tried to port the S-plus map library (http://maths.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/99b/0832.html ). Anybody know if this package is available somewhere or if there is somebody developing a Mapping package

Hi, How can I remove elements from a vector and them put them back in place?? An example (very simple, my vector/operations are much larger/complicated): Got a vector, lets say: a<-c(1,2,40,10,3,20,6); # I remove values larger than 10 a<-a[a<10] # Do some operations on the new a "1 2 3 6" b<-a^2 # Now b is "[1] 1 4 9 36" # Now I want to insert the elements I

Dear R-helpers, First of all I have nothing against the French language! But now my problem, yesterday I installed R 2.1.1 and I had to experience that my RGui is speaking French. My windows locals is French (Switzerland). I'm used to English and I want to reset my RGui to English. I was seeking for the solution in the archives, however not successfully.
