Dear R-help, Has anyone experienced similar problem? On WinNT4(sp6), running Rgui from 1.7.0, when try to change directory to some network drive using the "File / Change dir..." menu, Rgui gets a visit by Dr. Watson. If I first change dir to a local drive, then again to a network drive, it works fine. It also works fine with setwd() from the command prompt. Best, Andy Andy I. Liaw,

Uwe & Marc, Adding the --vanilla flag doesn't help. Actually, the crash happens if I browse to a folder on a mapped drive. I.e., if I type in "q:\Andy" in the text box, it works, but if I try to browse to Q:\Andy and then click on OK, that's when it crashes.

This is interesting: The crash does not happen if I run Rgui in MDI mode. The crash seemed to only occur in SDI. Andy =========================================================== For the record: Under Rgui, using the menu "File / Channge dir..." to change to a network drive crashes rgui. The crash happens if I browse to a folder on a mapped drive. I.e., if I type in

Dear R-devel, I grabbed 1.7.0 beta from today. "make check" still fails at base-Ex.R. The last few lines of the output are: > lsf.str()#- how do the functions look like which I am using? Error in exists(nam <- nms[i], envir = envir, mode = mode) : F used instead of FALSE Execution halted Looks like the same problem as before, but at a different place. Mandrake Linux

Sorry for the cross-post: not sure whether it's Rterm or ESS (or something else?)... I'm running R (1.5.0 patched 2002-05-09, compiled from source on WinNT4) under ESS 5.1.21 with XEmacs 21.4.6. When I plotted a graph on the windows() device, and then use the menu in the R graphics window to print the graph, the printer selection dialog box does not show up until I go to the *R* buffer

Hi all, I'm using R0.99a on WinNT4. I downloaded a bunch of packages and tried using Rinst.exe to install them. For whatever reason, Rinst.exe does not find all the packages I downloaded. I put all files in the same temp directory, but Rinst only finds some of them. I have no problem installing the rest with WinZip, but if Rinst works it would be much easier (don't have to run WinZip

Dear R-help, I've encountered a problem using R-1.5.0 compiled from source on WinNT4. If I make a plot on the windows graphics device, and then select "File -> Print...", nothing happens. (I'd expect to see a printer selection dialog box opened, which is what happens with R-1.4.1 and earlier compiled from source.) Doing ctrl-p doesn't work either. Copying to

Dear R-devel, I'm encountering a strange problem in a Rd file that I'm working on. In the "Value" section, I have something like: ===================== \value{ An object of class \code{randomForest}, which is a list with the following components: \item{call}{the original call to \code{randomForest}} ... For classification problem, the following are also included:

Dear R-help, Yes, I do know about the auto-loading feature. My question is more complicated than that: Suppose I loaded a package (e.g., e1071) and created an object of certain class (e.g., svm), for which there is a print method in the package to hide things that the user may not need to see (e.g., large vectors or matrices needed by methods such as predict). If the next time I started R, I

Dear R-help, (This is the first time I tried compiling 1.6.x from source on WinNT4, so please bear with me...) I tried following the instruction in src/gnuwin32/INSTALL as closely as I could, but encounter the following errors at the make step. Can some kind soul please help? I'm using pcre-3.9 and MinGW-2.0.0-3. I checked and libRpcre.a _is_ in src/extra/pcre. TIA, Andy ... gcc

hello. i am running samba-2.2.7 on a RH7.2 Kernel 2.4.7-10. i am using the left side (the folders tree section) of the windows explorer on WinNT4 SP6 station, and I move folders arround. most of the times after i move a folder there is no change in the presentation, in order to see the new folders tree i have to refresh the screen (F5). i will be gratefull for any advice / replay. tx.

Dear R-help, Can some one explain why barplot() uses changing colors in the bars by default? I should think that most of the time when people draw barplots, they want the bars to be in the same color. (At least that's what I'd expect. The first time I used barplot() in R, I was shocked to see the colors.) As an example, one example in ?layout draws a scatterplot with histograms drawn

Dear R-devel, Can anyone give me some hints on how to go about debugging a strange segfault in my randomForest package? Here's the scoop: A user reported segfault when running predict() in the randomForest package. I asked for the data and code. The combination runs fine under WinXPPro, but does give segfault on one of our Linux boxes running R (1.7.0 through R-devel_2004-01-08) on

Dear R-help, I'm running into some strange problem compiling R 1.6.2 on Mandrake Linux 9.0.

Dear R-help, Has anyone notice the problem that, on Windows (NT and XP), when printing a graph using the "File -> Print..." menu in the graphics window to print the graph, that line width seemed to be ignored in the printed output? For example, if I make a plot with plot(1:10, type="l", lwd=5), it looks right on screen, but when printed out using the menu, it looks like

Dear R-help: Has anyone tried using R on the the AMD Opteron in either 64- or 32-bit mode? If so, any good/bad experiences, comments, etc? We are considering getting this hardware, and would like to know if R can run smoothly on such a beast. Any comment much appreciated.
