If I execute R CMD Rd2dvi foo.Rd I get messages of the form: Converting Rd files to LaTeX ... foo.Rd Creating dvi output from LaTeX ... Saving output to 'foo.dvi' ... cp: .Rd2dvi4366/Rd2.dvi: No such file or directory Done xdvi-xaw: Fatal error: foo.dvi: No such file. Indeed if I add the --no-clean flag and then cd to the .Rd2dvi<whatever> directory, I find that there is no

Hi, I run into a problem with "R CMD Rd2dvi" command: it gives me "File `Rd.sty' not found" error (See the output message on the bottom). I get the same error when running "RCMD check". My system is: Windows 2000, R version 2.0.1, MiKTeX version 2.4. I do have a Rd.sty file in R_HOME/share/texm directory. I looked through newsgroups for any related discussions

Is there any way of getting just the LaTex output which R CMD Rd2dvi generates on the way to produces a .dvi file, which could then be incoorporated into another document?

Hello useRs, I am trying to put my funcs in a package to avoid clutter in my workspace as the funcs are now in .Rprofile. All plain R code no compilations. Using win XP with a full cygwin install and R2.12 I first did package.skeleton("mypack",list="getdfv", namespace=T) # just a single func which created a folder with the required stuff in it. Calling R CMD build creates a

Hi the list, Some rumour (!) say that is it possible to prepare some tests for checking our code using .Rin and .Rout. It seems to be a very good practice, but I did not manage to find information on it. So does someone know how it works ? What are we suppose to write in Rin ? More precisely : - I have a package myPack.r in directories ~/myR/myPack/R/ - I create the directory

First of all, thanks to those who've set up R to work so smoothly with Miktex-- even a total Latex bunny like me got it to work instantly, so that for the first time I'm able to run my Rd files through the Latex side of RCMD CHECK. Now the question/buglet. One of my Rd files contains the following: \code{mlazy( <<objname1>>, <<objname2>>, <<etc>>)}

hi, can anyone confirm the following problem? when i do dos> rcmd rd2dvi --pdf my-package-name i get dos> Can't open perl script "c:\PROGRA~1\r\rw1091/bin/rd2dvi": No such file or directory might the problem be in (double back slashes rather than forward slashes) R-1.9.1\src\gnuwin32\front-ends\rcmdfn.c(251): strcat(cmd, RHome); strcat(cmd, "/bin/Rd2dvi.sh");

I'd like to make MikTeX the default TeX package in 2.2.0, but we still need to let people use other packages. The problem is that MikTeX wants a command line option --include-directory $R_HOME/share/texmf, while other packages specify includes via environment variables, and barf when they see the unexpected option. The choice should be controlled by the user's settings in the MkRules

Hi.... I am assembling an R package (under Windows XP, R v.2.3) and have a very basic question. Running R CMD build does not generate a pdf. R CMD check generates a .dvi, but I cannot figure out how to automatically create the pdf. I thought from reading the "writing r extensions' manual that R CMD build was supposed to generate the pdf. I am having no success using various

Greetings, I am trying to run a short script from a shell: c:\projects\hell>Rscript --default-packages=mypack X:/4Stephen/commit/curve.R > X:/4Stephen/commit/run1.out Loading required package: utils Warning message: package 'RODBC' was built under R version 2.12.2 Error: could not find function "normalize" Execution halted Warning message: closing unused RODBC handle 1

Hi I'm having difficulty following the advice in section 2.7 of R-exts. In one of my packages, there is a function called mobius(). I want to refer to it in the Rd file as the M??bius function, and to illustrate the M??bius inversion formula (just to be explicit: this is "Mobius" but with two dots over the second letter). R-exts section 2.7 gives \enc{J??reskog}{Joreskog}

I am trying to compose some documentation for a package I hope to release soon. However when I do the following: R CMD Rd2dvi --pdf mypackage.Rd I get two mainly blank pages prepended to the top of the document - the only text on either (at the top of the first page) is as follows: hyperindex,colorlinks,pagebackref,linktocpage,plainpages=false,linkcolor=Blue

Dear all, I would like to write a function like: myfun<-function(x,fn) {xx<-exp(x); x*fn(xx)} where fn is a symbolic description of any function with its argument to be specified. Therefore myfun(5,"2+0.3*y^2") should return 5*(2+0.3*exp(5)^2), myfun(5,"log(y)") should return 5*log(exp(5)) and so on. I tried with "expression" and others, but without success.

dear all, Given a matrix A, say, I would like to apply a bivariate function to each combination of its colums. That is if myfun<-function(x,y)cor(x,y) #computes simple correlation of two vectors x and y then the results should be something similar to cor(A). I tried with mapply, outer,...but without success Can anybody help me? many thanks in advance, vito

As the title suggests, when building R packages on Windows, what is the difference between: R CMD build --binary mypack And R CMD INSTALL --build mypack ?? The former is suggested by my previous notes and seems to work, and the latter is suggested by http://www.biostat.jhsph.edu/~kbroman/Rintro/Rwinpack.html, and also seems to work. Thanks in advance Mick

Dear R community, I am running R 2.0.1 on a Windoze XP OS. I recently upgraded from R 1.9x to 2.0.1 and I am currently upgrading a my personal function packages. My other packages compiled without a hitch but I am having a difficult time with my largest package. Can someone please help me with the following error message "Error in parse(file, n, text, prompt) : syntax error on line

Dear all, The help file for the generic function vcov states "Classes with methods for this function include: 'lm', 'glm', 'nls', 'lme', 'gls', 'coxph' and 'survreg' (the last two in package 'survival')." Since, I am not able to use vcov.coxph(), I am wondering whether I am missing something (as I suspect..) regards, vito

Hi R-devels, would it be possible to enhance either promptPackage() or the default indexing mechanism for packages so that -- if it exists -- (the contents of) file <pkgname>-package.Rd is sorted first in * the .dvi / .pdf documentation file * the .chm documentation file * the package 00index.html documentation file ? So far I found the following "hand-made" solution
