similar to: No joy installing R with shared libs

Hello, My platform is SuSE 8.1. After downloading and unpacking R version 1.7 I tried building with shared libs enabled. (./configure --enabl-R-shlib). My goal is to use RSPython but I am now in my own private segmentation fault hell. The R build worked fine: make, make check, make install cool. The RSPython build worked fine. Thinking I'm good to go, I run python. But when I import RS

I am a long time user of R for financial time series analysis (xts, zoo, etc) and for my next project I am thinking of adding the Python language to the mix. The reason for adding Python is primarily its non-statistical capabilities. So my questions are what have people's experiences been with using interop between R and Python. I see there are two items, rPy and RSPython. It looks like rPy

I am trying to install Rpy to test it out as an R interface for a project that I am working on. However, I get the following error. Any clues as to what might be going on? I have alo tried RSPython, but I gave up due to errors. RSPython segfaults when started from R and gives an error message I can;t remember from python. Thanks, Brett >>> import rpy Traceback (most recent call

Hello. I'm not a regular subscriber in this mailing list, but I think that this announce may interest somebody. Please, forgive me if this is the wrong place. Based on the code of RSPython, but modifying it a little, I wrote an interface for using R from Python. The main reason for writing it was to make it robust, in order to avoid segmentation faults. Also, it is (IMMO) a very

A question for a (experienced) user of the RPython package on linux. I'm trying to call R from python on a linux (Suse 7.3) box. After installing R CMD INSTALL -c RSPython_0.5-2.tar.gz I start python and do: >>> import sys >>> sys.path.append('/usr/local/lib/R/library/RSPython') >>> sys.path.append('/usr/local/lib/R/library/RSPython/Python')

Hi all, Using R a as a real-time application called by Php for a website, I would like to run one R process only, which would manage user connections. For the time each user who asks for an analysis causes a new R process to start, which is not suitable in prevision of many users. R needs about 30 seconds to run the script which makes the analysis. The problem is that this waiting time is n

Hi all, I just upgraded to R-1.8.0. Everything worked fine but command line editing does not work. This clearly indicates that readline has not been found in the compilation process. How could I explicitely indicate where to find it ? I use a Red Hat 8.0 system. I checked the FAQ which says readline-devel is also needed, but I have it already installed. Perhaps should I add the configure

Hi, I'm planning to write some code in Python using R functions. I'm aware of the two R<->Python packages - Rpy and RSPython. Rpy seems easier to get up and running with, but does anybody have any comments regarding which would be a better system to work with in the long run?

Hello, I don't know if this question ought to go here, or rather on R-devel, so please bear with me. I'm interfacing to R via RPy (rpy.sf.net) and an embedded Python interpreter. This is really quite convenient. I use this approach to calculate the correlation coefficient of 1 independent dataset (vector) with 4 dependent vectors. It'd be nice if that could be done in 4 parallel

Dear list, Rpy is a python module that provides python interface to R. The following simple commands >>> from rpy import * >>> r.plot(0) is supposed to create a window that displays the result of plot(0). However, we observe that 1. Under *nix, rpy+R+python work as expected 2. Under windows, python + pythonWin32 (a python GUI provided by the pywin32 module), work as expected

Hi, I've got a problem which seemed simple to me at first view, but which I haven't managed to solve yet. I have a dataframe, or a matrix, and I would like to order it along with one of the variables/columns. I tried to use order() but it remained quite unclear to me. How should I proceed ? Thanks in advance (I guess that's not very difficult a question for most of you) Laurent

Hi helpers, I've been programming in R for a few months now but I still have doubts about my code - I would like it to be completely S4-compatible. The current code works fine but is probably 'unclean'. I read the interesting article in the last R News and it helped me understand the difference on the whole between S3 and S4 classes, but I need a practical example. Could anyone

I develop quite a bit of R code that I tend to distribute, or let other people embed in their software. One of the things I'd really like to do is find a way to load an R library I've developed, and call one function with arguments. Currently, I achieve that by building a separate R client file, which reads in the command line arguments, loads the library, and calls the main

How can I parse a YAML file in R 2.6.0 in Windows? I cannot get the RYaml package to compile in Windows, I can't find a MinGW compiled .dll for an existing YAML parser like syck (which would appear to be the best hope for creating my own R wrapper functions), and I don't know how to call a Ruby or Python function from R (so that I could parse the file in Ruby or Python and pass the parsed

Hi all, I need the power of R from within some of my Python programs... I use debian linux (woody) at home and windows XP at work (the latter is where I need to get things done!) This are my packages: R 1.8.0 Python 2.3 RSPython 0.5-3 This is what I've done: (1) Since the Windows Binary of RSPython is compiled against Python 2.2 I downloaded the tarball (2) Followed the instructions in

Hi all, Trying to install R-1.7.1 on a RedHat 8.0 platform, I have a few problems. R gets installed without default packages (but base and ctest) : make script fails at the end of the procedure (configure is made successfully). This is the (translated) log I have : /gcc -I../../../../include /usr/include/mysql -D__NO_MATH_INLINES -mieee-fp -fPIC -g -O2 -c ansari.c -o ansari.o gcc: cannot

Hi, I'm trying to compile R-1.7.1 from source (on a RedHat 8.0) instead of using the binary version, as it has often been advised. However I don't manage to find a solution to the following error which occurs during the make procedure : /!\-------------------------------------------/!\ building package 'ctest' mkdir -p -- ../../../library/ctest/R mkdir -p --

Under RSPython and rpy, the regexec C function is returning nonsensical results leading to segmentation faults. This is happening in some situations under R 1.4.1 and (more often?) under R 1.5.0 on my Solaris 8 box. R 1.4.1 was compiled with gcc 2.95.2, and I've tried 1.5.0 with both gcc 2.95.2 and gcc 3.0.3. The error appears to be exactly the same under both python tools and both

Hi, I'm trying to install RSPython v0.5-4 on a debian machine (woody, testing) but am having the following problem. $R CMD INSTALL -c --library=/usr/lib/R/library RSPython_0.5-4.tar.gz 2>err But then... $python >> import RS Error in .PythonInit() : Error in Python call: values Error in library("RSPython") : .First.lib failed for 'RSPython' Traceback (most recent
