similar to: R won't start

I have two computers both of which are running Windows XP SP2. R 1.9.1 runs just fine on one but not the other. Both installations of R came from the same installation package. When I click on the desktop icon an hourglass shows up then disappears. Similarly, if I start RGUI the process shows up in task-manager then abruptly disappears. Interestingly, I can access R in Excel via the D(COM) Server

Hi, I'm trying to install version 4.0 from the CD that came with my GPS unit. I'm able to run Setup.exe and get to the initial startup menu. The links to visit the Garmin website and exit the installation work fine but when I click the one to install the app I get the hourglass cursor for a fraction of a second, like it's starting to do something, but nothing happens. This is my first

I'm trying to set up a new CentOS 4.2 desktop, and gdm refuses to start. It blanks the screen, displays the swirling blue circle mouse cursor that appears to be an hourglass equivalent, then drops back to the console window. It repeats this several times then displays the following error: The display server has been shut down about 6 times in the last 90 seconds, it is likely that something

Greetings When I start firefox or mozilla I get an hourglass for 3 seconds then nothing happends. Dropping to a terminal and typing firefox just returns to the command line. I re-installed firrefox and it installs fine until I quit then the same situation happends. After re-installing firefox it will run but the same situation happens where it won't start. I have installed int my home

I'm not sure when this problem first occurred - it is many months since I last editted a sieve filter. I am certainly several versions of Thunderbird and, probably, a few versions of Dovecot on from when I last editted a sieve filter. However, I do know that I have done so in the past. I have just built Dovecot 2.2.13 and Pigeonhole 0.4.3, installed and running on Slackware 14.1 x64. I

I am trying to install the Watchtower Library 2010 for my mum. When i try to run the program from the link on the desktop, i get an hourglass icon for a few seconds, then nothing. when i try run it from a terminal, i get a ton of errors about mfc90u. so i tried to install vcrun2008 with winetricks vcrun2008 when i do that i get a pop up dialog saying "could not write to installation log

I just downloaded rw1041 (the latest windows binary). Everything installed fine. When I start a new Rgui, and type "demo(graphics)", after pressing return to start, a graphics window appears. When I get to the second prompt: > opar <- c(opar, par(bg = "white")) > plot(x, ann = FALSE, type = "n") Hit <Return> to see next plot: at this

Hi, Sorry if this is already known... contour() sometimes draws contour lines that intersect. Is there a temporary fix? A dataset which causes problems is at http://www.maths.uwa.edu.au/~adrian/dumpdata.R If you try just source("dumpdata.R") image(huh) contour(huh) the 100 x 100 matrix 'huh' contains an hourglass-shaped region of values around 0.8. The contour plot

I've just converted to Linux, so I'm not really up to speed on anything. Just putting that out there. I've tried to install a couple different Windows games in Wine with the same effect. Wine runs the installer just fine and adds the program to its 'Programs' list in the Application toolbar (Ubuntu Hardy, btw). When I try to run anything off this list, I get a little Wine

Hello all from a wine newbie. I have an old favorite Windows application that is one of the last impediments to being completely Windows free. The app was written in vb I am pretty sure as it requires vbrun300.dll After sorting out some font related problems I got it running but there is a hiccup that is very maddening: After the first (or second) running, a function of the program hangs. Seems

If I boot with "rhgb quiet" off, my computer boots in 1 minute and 30 seconds. If I boot with "rhgb quiet" on, my computer boots in 3m11s. That's a long time to wait. Significantly, when booting with "rhgb quiet", right at the moment X takes over, there is a 1m36s pause where the screen is blank except for the hourglass cursor turning around and around. Of

Hi i need to create a model from 250 + variables with high collinearity, and only 17 data points (p = 250, n = 750). I would prefer to use Cp, AIC, and/or BIC to narrow down the number of variables, and then use VIF to choose a model without collinearity (if possible). I realize that having a huge p and small n is going to give me extreme linear dependency problems, but I *think* these model

I have tried this with a bunch of different versions of Samba, starting somewhere in the 3.0.1 series. I am currently running 3.0.34 on several Gentoo servers, all showing the same problem. I am almost positive it is not a Samba issue, but I was just hoping that someone may have experienced it and knows if there is a solution. When I have the current Novell Netware client installed on XP

Hi, I'm using dyn.load to load a shared library (compiled from C code) into R. If I dyn.unload it and then dyn.load it again, I get an hourglass icon in Rgui (R 1.7.0, Win 2000), and it just sits there forever. I can't press Escape to stop the current computation, but I can close Rgui without resorting to using the Task Manager. Is it a problem with my use of R_alloc? Do I need

Hi, Suppose I have a categorical variable called STREET, and I have 30 levels for it (i.e. 30 different streets). I want to find all those streets with only 15 observations or below then collapse them into a level called OTHER. Is there a quick way, other than using a for() loop, to do it? Currently what I'm doing is something like: ### Collapse STREET (those < 15) st <- c()

I want to get three .gif image files test.1.gif, test.2.gif, & test.3.gif by using a loop. The code I tried is like this: x=c(0, 1, 2, 3, 4) y=c(1, 2, 3, 4) for(i in 1:3) { x11() jpeg("test.i.gif") plot(x, y) dev.off() } but I only could get one image file, test.i.gif. How can I get three image files? Thanks.

Hello, I would like to get this question answered in support of a decision about whether or not to move some large shares from Windows Server to Samba. Windows Explorer has a feature called "Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items", which I will call SPD. SPD, which is enabled by default, shows a folder's contents and size when you hover your mouse cursor over it. It

I am familiar with the rpart and tree packages for classification and regression trees. However, quite a bit of the research in the transportation community relating to decision trees uses the C4.5 family of algorithms by Quinlan. Are there any plans to make a C4.5 (or a derivative of it) available to R? If not, then I might use the WEKA Java package ( http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/ml/weka) that

Hello all, I am having trouble with the glmnet package. I used it for the first time last week, after updating R to the current version (2.10.1, running in Windows XP). It seemed to be working fine as I explored what it could do with one of my datasets. A day or two later, using the exact same dataset, it suddenly stopped working. I get the following error every time I try to use glmnet with

Hi, How could I plot two vectors on the same graph? For example, if I have two lists of results, each list is a vector. I want to display them on the same graph, so I can compare them. How could I do that? Regards, Justin
