In Mac OS X native version: The R shell wrapper (bin/R) overrides default library search path with DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH and adds (among others) /usr/X11R6/lib. This causes problems when modules need (directly or indirectly) libraries from Apple's frameworks which are masked by X11. Examples for such packages are SJava and RGL. SJava needs JavaVM which in turn loads OpenGL framework. RGL

I encountered several strange issues when linking to R.dll on Windows and I wonder if anyone of the Windows savvy-folks here had seen some of the issues before and have some explanation. My Rserve links to R dynamic library. That works perfectly on unix boxes and worked fairly well with older MinGW and older R (<=1.7.1). What I do in fact is that I specify -L$(R_HOME)/bin -lR when linking.

I just wrote a graphics device taking the X11 device in R-devel as a guide (I was told it's the reference device). It works perfectly with R-devel, but I just noticed that the API (e.g. the use of R_GE_gcontext) is incompatible with previous versions of R. Is the current API in R-devel set in stone or are there any further plans to change the API? (If so, how far?) Also, is there any

I need to implement some external callbacks to R and I'm not happy with the current REPL, since it prevents any general solution. Are there plans to improve the current REPL anytime soon? The current approach has some deficiencies you are surely aware of (only one input (=external event loop), the loop is blocked while waiting for input in R_ReadConsole, ...). But the major problem is

I re-generated configure of the latest R-devel with autoconf 2.57 and got the following problem: configure: error: conditional "HAVE_ORBIT" was never defined. Usually this means the macro was only invoked conditionally. (resolving HAVE_ORBIT leaves us with HAVE_GNORBA causing the same problem. You should be able to reproduce it by running autoreconf (or aclocal; autoconf - not just

A while ago I compiled R 1.7.0 for AIX (with the above compiler - I'll call it xlc) and I was surprised that it went quite smoothly. Unfortunately with R 1.8.0 it's not as easy, but I succeeded at least partially. Static R works fine (after some tweaking), but --enable-R-shlib fails resp. produces a buggy R. Following are the problems I encountered (in a warning-to-fatal-error

After the recent discussion about future direction of the Mac OS X port, I was toying with the idea to make R a proper Mac OS X framework. There are several advantages: OS X locates frameworks automatically, therefore any program wishing to link against R has only to specify "-framework R" at link time. Furthermore versioning is supported, i.e. if a program is linked against R 1.7.1

Some issues with the recent R-devel (rsync today) on Darwin: 1) Recent R-devel is a bit misleading concerning the R-framework installation: A new option --enable-R-framework was introduced, but install-Rframework ignores its absence (or --disable-R-framework for that matter) and tries to install the framework anyway in / which fails just after the R itself was copied into /Versions/.... I

Hello Tal, You asked *When is it helpful to use interactive plots? Either for data exploration (for ourselves) and data presentation (for a "client")?* My answer: It's helpful for checking data quality, for exploration with and without "clients", for checking results, and for data presenting. Notes: (1) It's difficult to explain interactive data visualization in

Has there been a recent change in the behavior of binary operators? In SparseM it was, until quite recently ok to do scalar multiplication but now, > A*4 Error in A * 4 : non-numeric argument to binary operator > 4*A Error in 4 * A : non-numeric argument to binary operator > A%*%A An object of class "matrix.csr" Slot "ra": [1] 1 1 1 Slot "ja": [1] 1 2 3

As Jason Turner told you, one possibility is to use the communication interface SJava (for another documentation, see this article: Urbanek, S. (2002) "No need to talk to strangers - Cooperation of Interactive Software with R as Moderator", http://simon.urbanek.info/simon/yawe/research/pub.html) but it seems not so easy to use (but if you want to do sophisticated things from what

This email isn't asking for assistance, but I thought R-help readers would find it interesting. This week we offered a half-day introduction to R for researchers at Augsburg University. The response was astonishing. Although Augsburg has no medical faculty and no engineers, there was far too much demand, with interest from every faculty (barring theology, "for one small

Dear R users / devs, There's been requests in the past for a text editor built into the Rgui for Windows, from which code can be submitted to the R console. Something along the lines of the script editor in S-Plus. Currently Rgui can only display a file read-only in a pager. As far as I can tell there's been little motivation to implement an editor, as most developers use (the

Hello. I'm writting a glx device and I've some performance problem with the eventloop registration system. The device is not refresh when there's no X event. That's problematic for animation and "smoothness" of display. Should I use threads or fork the R process to get and independant way to refresh my device ? Or do you know another way to refresh it ? Thanks

Hi, i'm using Perl to control R under Windows via the Win32::OLE module and R's (D)COM server. This works fine, if i send commands and/or simple data structures to R. I am also able to get matrix-shaped return values into my Perl program, like this # snip ---------------------------------------------------- my $R = Win32::OLE->new('StatConnectorSrv.StatConnector');

R has spread far and wide with great success. It is not only used extensively in universities, but also apparently in governmental organisations and in industry. As the recent discussion of R's Pros and Cons shows, there are many reasons for this. It would be interesting to know just how widely R is used, where it is used most (and where least or not at all). Does anyone have a

It seems that RAqua consumes too much cpu time when doing nothing. I can't see exactly why this is happening. We have few days to fix this up. Any idea (after having look at the code) would be fine. stefano
