[ Apologies for the cross-post, and I hope this is seen as sufficiently on-topic. Anybody who feels otherwise, please drop me a line off-list. ] Earlier this week I sent out the announcement below for the newest version of Quantian. Quantian is a bootable dvd (based off Knoppix & clusterKnoppix) with well over 1gb of scientific, numerical or quantitative software -- and now contains almost

[ I hope this is not considered off-topic for the list: A new Quantian release was just announced, and it contains even more R. As before, we have R (now 2.2.1), ESS, Ggobi, Rpy, several BioInfo tools -- but now we also have RSPerl, JGR, rJava and more. A full sync to CRAN and BioC as of Feb 25, 2006 now yields dim(installed.packages())[1] of 877. Feedback welcome, but

As you know, i have problem about Rcmdr in the 2.4.0 version of R, it can't be run properly in Quantian due to that Tcl/Tk does not support it. But, now, with helps from Dirk Eddelbuettel, problem was solved. The solution is just that reinstallation of R from debian packages not by compiling of 2.4.0 version source code. During the process, i noticed a srange thing, that is, if i start R in

Dear R users, Recenty i tried to install the R GUI of "RKward", but i think something is wrong. In installation, i used the command such like: root@quantian:/usr/lib/rkward# ./configure --enable-R-shlib or, root@quantian:/usr/lib/rkward# ./configure --enable-R-shlib --prefix=/usr/lib/kde3 due to in INSTALL file, it is said that use these commands if you don't have the libR.so

Greetings all, Just a quick heads up that there is a Slashdot thread this morning on Open Source Math Software for Education, which includes references to R and Dirk's Quantian distribution (among others). The thread is at: http://ask.slashdot.org/askslashdot/04/12/13/2355258.shtml?tid=185&tid=4 The OP's query was targeted for high school to first year college age students, but as

Dear R users, I want to install the Rcmdr package in a Quantian linux machine, but, when i tried that, following commands appeared: ** building package indices ... * DONE (Rcmdr) The downloaded packages are in /tmp/RtmpuOikyk/downloaded_packages > library("Rcmdr") Loading required package: tcltk Error in firstlib(which.lib.loc, package) : Tcl/Tk support is not

Or just go Quantian and be happy: It has R and most of CRAN and BioC packages included. http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/quantian.html Andy From: Brett Magill > > Better yet, forget reading the SUSE manual.

Hi All, I was wondering if anybody had experience running R on amazon's ec2 "cloud"? More specifically, has anybody created an "amazon machine image" (AMI) for use with it? I was wondering if there was a quantian type image available as an amazon machine image, maybe running debian or ubuntu? It supports open MPI among other libs which is nice. It would be nice to put

Dear R-devel, Apologies for bothering y'all with this seemingly perennial question. A user reported problem with my most recent version of randomForest (4.4-1), and I was able to reproduce it with his data with R-2.0.0 patched (2004-10-24) on WinXP Pro. The problem is that it crashes R on Windows. However, it does not happen on Linux (tried SUSE ES8 on our Opterons and Quantian on my

As you may recall, a Debian user complained last year about how R is out of line with respect to the filesystem standards (where, in essence, architecture independent files should be in /usr/share, not /usr/lib). While I more or less just told him to get lost, I think it was mostly BDR who actually added support for this over the summer -- so a public Thanks! first. As of a few weeks ago, I now

Hi, I'm not sure if this is an R problem, a Debian problem, a GNU Emacs problem or an ESS problem. I get the following warning the first time I call help on a command in a session, for example: > ?sessionInfo Warning message: use of NULL environment is deprecated This only occurs in GNU Emacs, not when running R from bash, and not with Xemacs. It started happening when I updated R

Hello Adrian, I have the same problem with tcltk with the difference that i can't open Rcmdr or another tcltk application under Ubuntu with the same packages of tcl or tk than you...

My organization has a policy against "installing software downloaded from the Internet." There is a waiver procedure, but it is difficult and lengthy. It is much easier to get approval to purchase software, even if it is a CD copy of open-source.
