I'm trying to update my Matrix package given the update last night. But the following error is generated. I've tried restarting R and deleting my old Matrix package. Can anyone suggest how this might be resolved? > install.packages('Matrix') trying URL 'http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/languages/R/CRAN/bin/windows/contrib/2.1/Mat rix_0.98-1.zip' Content type

Hi I have been trawling the web, FAQs, and R manuals for help on the following issue, but have failed and was wondering if anyone has a solution to the following problem: After having installed R 2.6.2 for Windows (binary), I tried to install various packages.

Dear all, i was working under R 1.6.2 but i wanted to install bioconductor under WinXP, and because R 1.7.1 contains the TclTk package and automatic installation of bioconductor packages, so i install it. Everything is fine except this message which appear after the installation of packages. "> local({a<- CRAN.packages(CRAN=getOption("BIOC")) +

Recently I tried to install a package in R version 1.8.1 for Windows. First I un".tar.gz"ed it and ".zip"ed it back in to be able to use the option Install package(s) from local zip files...

I realize that others have struggled with this issue...i.e. http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/05/01/9826.html i am on os.x 10.4 w/ R2.2, and am (perhaps foolishly) also on this quest... i would like to be able to install downloaded source (tar.gz'd) files from within an R session, and have it work in a X-platform way..i am often not connected to the internet and have libraries

At the encouragement of many at UseR, I'm trying to build my first real package. I have no C/Fortran code, just plain old R code, so it should be rocket science. On a Linux box, I used package.skeleton() to create a basic package containing just one "hello world" type of function. I edited the DESCRIPTION file, changin the package name appropriately. I edited the hello.Rd file.

The file src/library/base/R/print.R contains this line: x0 <- xm[okP]==0 != (as.numeric(Cf[okP])==0) I didn't know R allowed that, and I wonder if it is deliberate? In mathematics, you would expect x = y not= z to mean (x = y) and (y not= z).; In R, it is parsed as (x == y) != z. While I have to admit that the spacing around == and != in

The help page for randomForest shows na.action=na.fail as a parameter, and does not describe other possibilities for na.action. I have a regression problem, with about 1000 rows in my data frame, and with an NA in occasional predictor variables, in about 5% of rows. I would like to have all rows included in the analysis, to the extent possible. (That seems to be possible in rpart, for example.)

Hi, I'm using rw2000dev.exe (Win32) built on August 14. If this isn't already planned, can I suggest that when checkS3methods() (called by R CMD check) fails because of a syntax error in a dependent package listed in the DESCRIPTION file of the main package being checked, it would be nice if checkS3methods() reported which dependent package caused it to fail? Running R CMD check on my

Hi, I am having a problem building binary packages for Windows recently. Normally, I use the "Murdoch-Sutherland" tool set, http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/ just build source packages by R CMD build <pkgname> and install these with R CMD INSTALL <pkgname> But now, for someone without having this tool set installed, under Win XP, with R-2.10dev

Dear useRs, Lately I noticed a strange warning in the summary of a lm-object. Any idea what this warning is about?

I'm having a weird problem with length(), in R1.6.1 under windows2000. I have a dataframe called byyr, with ten columns, the first of which is named cnd95. summary(byyr) shows that byyr$cnd95 contains the factor level "tr" 66 times. Also, when I enter byyr$cnd95 at the command line, I can count 66 "tr" elements in the resulting vector. However, when I enter n95trt <-

R-devel, SVN revision 35729 (this morning, euro-time) So far, I'm having awful luck with the "installWithVers" flags. Recent example: I can install.packages("lattice", installWithVers=TRUE) successfully (no errors, at least it looks like a successful install), but can't load it: Error in library.dynam(pkg,pkg,lib) : shared library 'lattice_0.12-7' not found

I'm using R in a statistics class, and when I project the console, the font is smaller than ideal. I've checked the faq's, the manual, and the help system as best I can, and I don't see how to change the font size. Can it be changed from within a session, or will I have to ask the folks who installed the program on the server I use in classes to set it (assuming that can be
