I downloaded the latest Windows version 1.8.1 from http://www.stats.bris.ac.uk/R/ (21/11/03 R-1.8.1.tar then to-day the file is R-1.8.1.tgz) and from Windows unzipped the file. The directory R-1.8.1 is created (rather than rw1081) but no subdirectory 'bin'. I cannot see any .dll nor .exe files in the directory and I understand from Brian Ripley's page of 'R for Windows FAQ'

Sorry to write twice in one day--I am a relative newbie to some of these parts of R, and I am pulling my hair out! B/c I am preparing a file to use WINBUGS I am cross-posting to the BUGS group as well, in case anyone there has some ideas on this. I've got a large SAS dataset that I want to put in R form to more easily use the file with the hierarchical modeling software WINBUGS. It has

Dear all, I've just downloaded the miniR.exe, miniR-1.bin,....,miniR-8.bin in order to update R to 1.6.2 (I cannot download the file of 19Mb !). The installation seems to have worked fine, but I can't find in the /bin dir several files that were, for instance, in the /bin directory in the version 1.5.1 In particular the file Rcmd.exe is missing, therefore I cannot run R in BATCH mode (I

While installing the windows miniR programm the setup wizard looks for the MINIR-1.bin, but the downloaded file is named MINIR_1.bin. In consequence installation aborts. The user can fix this bug by changing manually the dash of the file name. Please, make sure that both the setup wizard and the .bin refer to the same sintax. Thanks! Luis Frank

R users, I recently upgraded (?) to Windows XP from 2000. I am trying to build an R package. I have done this many times on my old system and I am not sure why it is not working in XP. To build the package I call a bat file that specifies all the necessary paths -- but the "build" file (which appears to be a perl script) is looking for a "src" subdirectory in the src

Hello, I wrote an R function and want to build an R package on winXP. I have set my path:C:\bin;C:\MinGW\bin;C:\Perl\bin\;C:\Tcl\bin;C:\texmf\miktex\bin;C:\Program Files\R\rw1081\bin; I tried to run "Rcmd build --help" but failed. Under C:\WINDOWS\System32\cmd.exe, I got the error message: Please set TMPDIR to a valid temporary directory. Under Cygwin, I got the error message:

Hi all, I am wondering if anyone has problem installing 'knncat' package. I tried to install using 'Rcmd INSTALL knncat_1.1.1.tar.gz', error message appeared. I attached the message in the end.

Hi, I've just tried to run example-3 from Friedrich Leish. I'm using R 1.8.1 and MiKTeX 2.2 on Windows XP.

Dear R-ers: Recognizing that it is better to remain silent and have people think you stupid than to speak and remove any doubt, I fear that I must speak nonetheless. I am having the Devil's own time trying to make a simple R package for my own use. Yes, I have perused the FAQs and searched the archives. Yes, I have read "Writing R Extensions" and eventually divined what Rcmd

I currently build two different versions of each Windows binary: the rwXXXX.exe full installation program (with the next release looking to be around 25 Megabytes), and a series of 8 diskette-sized files named miniR*. The miniR files only include a minimal installation of R, and are rarely tested. Rather than building something that may not even work, I'd like to stop building them.

Hello all, I'm trying to run SJava package (0.65 modified downloaded from : http://stats.math.uni-augsburg.de/iPlots/alpha/) on windows NT 2000 and R 1.8.01.

Hi All, I'm using R1.8.1 on Windows XP. I'm having trouble producing an R library from source code. A colleague has written the source code, in Unix. I've copied the source code across to Windows (with the help files, data files, description and index) and am trying to compile it into a library. I've "sourced" each of the *.r files and they appear to work.

What do I need to do to load the RMySQL library on Win 2K using version 1.8.1 I have Mysql v4.0.16 up and running on the local machine with several databases running fine. Using RGUI I have loaded RMySQL and an appropriate directory structure has appeared under C:\Program Files\R\rw1081\library\RMySQL I have added C:\Program Files\R\rw1081\library\RMySQL\inst\libs to my path variable so that

Hi folks, I apologise if this is in the documentation somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. I also did a search of CRAN without any success. I'm using R-1.8.1 (pre-compiled) on Windows 2000 with Rtools and mingw 2.0.0 (which includes gcc/g++ 3.2). I'm trying to link some C++ code from another application to R using the .Call interface and am experiencing some problems. I was

Hi There is something weird going on with the "tree" package version 1.0-16. So I want to download an updated tree package. I found that R website has version 1.0-18. I want to try this one and see how the tree algorithm is performing. What is the best way to download tree package version 1.0-18 which can be found in index of src/contrib at www.r-project.org? So far I tried two different

I am having trouble converting the output from Sweave into a valid PDF file. I have created a simple .Rnw file which will become a full vignette at some point, but during the intermediate testing, I got errors from texi2dvi. This is what I have done. 0) Using a Windows Xp system 1) Created a file called GeneSpring.Rnw 2) Convert this to Tex using Sweave("GeneSpring.Rnw") from within R

We are trying to compile and run the ttest.c example that comes with R (in C:\Program Files\R\rw1081\src\library\windlgs\src\ttest.c). After compiling it with MS Visual C++ we load the DLL with dyn.load. So far it seems good, but when we try to call it from R (after running C:\Program Files\R\rw1081\src\library\windlgs\R\windlgs.R) R crashes. We have tried changing the exports from DLL but have

I've been trying to create/load/call a dll from R-1.8.1 on Windows without much success. I've been able to at least load the library on FreeBSD (1.8.1). I've been able to perform this before using DLL that weren't created using RCMD SHLIB, but simply compiling under MS DevStudio. C:\optflikam>rcmd shlib --output=optflikam.dll as47.f as197.f flikam.c g77 -O2 -Wall -c as47.f
