similar to: Installing R on 64-bit Solaris 2.8

Hello R-users, is it possible to navigate from one workspace to the other from within an R session or does one has to close R and restart it from the directory where resides the desired workspace? For example from Splus I have this little function, see at the end, which I used all the time to navigate between valid Splus directories. I find this particularly usefull when I develop new

Hello R-users, thanks to Brian Ripley and Roger Peng for there prompt replies on installing R on a Solaris 64-bit machine. R is now running and seems to be doing fine. I realy would like to have access to the manuals so I can climb most of the learning curve on my own -- I am a long time user of Splus, hence I am not expecting the learning curve to be too steep. On the Sun machine that R is

Thanks to Frank Harrell, Brian Ripley, Andy Liaw, Jeff Laake and Sean Davis for their usefull comments regarding "navigation" between valid R directories. Jeff recommanded the Mark Bravington package that can be found at: (ftp://ftp.marine.csiro.au/software/bravington/). I looked at the package and found that it can do a lot more than what I asked for. At this time I was not prepared

Hello R-users, Version 1.8.1 on a 64-bit Solaris 5.8 OS I am trying to instal the Rcmdr package for which the tclk package is required. Once both package installed I issued the command: > library(tcltk) and received the following error message Error in firstlib(which.lib.loc, package) : Tcl/Tk support is not available on this system Error in library(tcltk) : .First.lib failed Upon

Hello there, apologies for cross-posting my question is not an S/R question but there is so much knowledge concentrated in those lists that I thought someone could point me in the right direction. A few months ago I read an article in a referenced journal comparing some data mining programs, among which there was Insightful's I Miner, SAS' Entreprise Miner, SPSS' Clementine (I think)

Hello R-users, thanks to Brian Ripley, who guided me through this process, the "tcltk" package is now working and hence the "Rcmdr" package as well. The secrets were to first rebuild the Tcl and Tk packages from the sources files, making sure the same C compiler was used as the one used in subsequent steps to build R and enabling 64bit support. Prof. Ripley reported getting

Please use the CRAN versions, not the ftp versions which are now out-of-date. Both packages are on base CRAN now, but may not have propagated to all mirrors yet. (But thanks to Gerald for responding-- I had de-subscribed from R-help.) For anyone using the HANDY package (a Windows-specific package which includes a non-C DLL, so I can't CRAN it): I'll post an updated version on the ftp site

Hello R-users, first thanks to all who responded my questions regarding the installation of the Rcmdr and tcltk packages. The problem is with the tclk package on which Rcmdr depends. Following Prof Ripley's advice I re-installed Tcl and Tk, compiling from sources and making sure the "--enable-64bit" option of their configure was set and setting the environment variable

Hello, I am running: R version 2.10.0 (2009-10-26) Copyright (C) 2009 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing ISBN 3-900051-07-0 on a RedHat Linux box with 48Gb of memory. I am trying to create a model.matrix for a big model on a moderately large data set. It seems there is a size limitation to this model.matrix. > dim(coll.train) [1] 677236 128 > coll.1st.model.mat <-

Hello R-users, First my settings: R-1.8.1, compiled as a 64bit application for a Solaris 5.8, 64 bit. The OS has 8Gb of RAM available and I am the sole user of the machine, hence pretty much all the 8Gb are available to R. I am pretty new to R and I am having a hard time to work with large data sets, which make up over 90% of the anlyses done here. The data set I imported in R, from S+, has a

Hello, I am not currently using R but I have been using S+ for sevaral years. I think that I fit in the category of power users, never using the GUI prefering the flexibility of a command line interface (CLI). In a short while I will try to move to R, that is if we can convince our IT people that installing a freeware package on a Unix server will not damaged the companie's network! The

Hello, I am trying to port one of my plotting S+ functions to R and I am having difficulties!!! I am including here only the troublesome code! I first produce a barplot, saving the positions of the bar's centers. par(mar = c(6.1, 5.1, 4.1, 4.1), mgp = c(3, 3.0, 0)) ticks.loc <- barplot(sum.of.weights, col = 5, xlab = "", ylab = "", axes =

To encourage collegues to use R, I am trying to install "JGR", which depends on "rJava", on the above machine. At first I received and error saying Java was not available. My IT support, I am not admin. on this

Hello, I have a .First function in my personnal Rprofile file. Through the .First function I want to load an R data base at position 2 in the search list but R complains with: "Attempting to load the environment 'package:stats'" and further down the initialization process, when .First.sys() is run and default packages are loaded, my newly loaded data base ends up at position

Hello there, I spent all day yesterday trying to get a small data set from Splus into R, no luck! Both, Splus and R, are run on a 64-bit RedHat Linux machine, the versions of the softwares are 64-bit and are as what follows: Splus: TIBCO Software Inc.

I have Windows XP machines with different software configurations. My laptop has Adobe Reader 8 and Adobe Acrobat 6. My desktop has Adobe Reader 8 and does not have Adobe Acrobat. On both machines, PDF extensions are registered to Adobe Reader 8.0, and double-clicking a pdf file in Windows Explorer opens Adobe Reader 8.0. In R-2.5.0, with all Adobe windows closed, the command

Duncan is on the right track. Thanks. In the CMD window start "c:\Program Files\R\R-2.5.0\doc\manual\R-admin.pdf" opens another CMD window with the quoted string as title.

I have had Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0.1 installed on my CentOS 4.2 desktop and it worked fine. After upgrading to 4.3, I can't get it to come up anymore. I downloaded Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 and it does the same. I'd appreciate any suggestions on what to look for, since the executable and the startup scripts are not giving me any useful errors to chase. -- Ron Loftin

Hey all, I'm trying to create a plot of two semi-transparent regions. The reason they need to be partially transparent is so that I can see if there's any overlap. Here's some example code: # BEGIN pdf(file="test.pdf",version="1.4") plot(0,0,type="l",ylim=range(-3,3),xlim=range(-1,5)) polygon(c(0,1,2,3,4,3,2,1,0), c(0,1,2,1,0,-1,-2,-1,0),
