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 am using/trying to use R 2.2.0. I have created a package of ``supplementary'' time series functions for use by my students in a time series course. The package involves only raw R code; no dynamic loading to complicate matters. I need to install this package in a location on a local area network where the students can access it under Windoze. In the past I learned that I could do

Continuing to try to customize my environment for using R under Windoze, I experimented with installing a package from CRAN in a local library ``Lib''. I created the directory ``Lib'' in the folder in which R starts, and then executed > install.packages("abind",lib="Lib") Everything went according to form (I got prompted to choose a mirror, etc.) until

Prof. Brian Ripley solved the problem. He wrote: > I was not aware that this works with relative paths for any version > of R. Try using a full path, which always works for me. I tried it using a full path, and bingo! It worked like a charm. Under Unix the relative path also works, but. Prof. Ripley also remarked: > If indeed your filesystem is readonly, you will have problems

I am (for my sins) having to do some work using R under Windoze. I wanted to set up a .Rprofile to control my set-up. The docs on .Rprofile say that it can/should be placed in ``the user's home directory''. ``An Introduction to R'' observes lucidly that this concept needs to be clarified under Windoze. Following the suggestions in An Introduction to R, I tried putting a

Many thanks to all who responded to my cri de coeur: Charles Annis, John Bollinger, Petr Pikal, Brian Ripley, Duncan Murdoch, Dan Nordlund, and Richard Heiberger. (I don't think --- I hope --- I haven't missed anyone.) The essential solution to my problem was indeed to eliminate that @#@$#@$^#@ ``.txt'' extension from the filename. I.e. the file must be called

Dear All: I have a library for R 1.9.1, it is very easy to setup a library in R 1.9.1. For example: I want to setup a library "test" for R1.9.1. 1. Create a folder "test" in the direct X:\ R\ rw1091\ library \. 2. Create a file "DESCRIPTION" in the direct X:\ R\ rw1091\ library\ test\. 3. Modify the "Package:" and "Title:"

Hi all, I 've just reinstalled from the scratch my Windows 2000 (Italian version) on a formatted HD, because I like to clean the environment from time to time (say once a year). I'm currently using XEmacs-21.4.13 and R (rw1091) and Xemacs is configured as described in http://socserv.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Books/Companion/ESS/ess-xemacs.pdf The problem is that the command help.start()

Hello, I started using R a month ago - so I am a novice in this area. I am stuck with a problem and need some help urgently. I am using windows version of R 1.9.1. I am trying to compile C code in it. I have my C code - "hello.c" is lying in C:\Program Files\R\rw1091 This code is - #include <R.h> void hello(int *n) { int i; for(i=0;i< *n; i++) {

I tried to install R (V 1.9.1) on an XP Home Edition box with loads of disk space and 256 MB of RAM. During installation, I get messages stating that some files are corrupted. I used two copies of the install exe downloaded from different sites and still get the same messages at the same spots in the install. What do I need to do to get around this? I ran md5sum on the downloaded exe file:

I have tried codeweavers wine and now the latest cvs version of wine dated 2001-08-24. In no case am I able to run anything but notepad from windoze ME.

I've just installed version 1.4.0 of R, and am experiencing a puzzling phenomenon with the library() function. I have .lib.loc set as follows: > .lib.loc [1] "/usr/local/lib/R/library" "/home/faculty/rolf/Rlib" If I invoke > library(melvin) I get the error message Error in library(melvin) : There is no package called `melvin' but if I invoke >

Hi, I am trying the 'R' application for generating the data for the uploaded '.gpr' file. I have written script file named 'test.R'. Currently i have hardcoded the path of uploaded '.gpr' file in the script itself. I would like to know how to pass a command line parameter to the 'test.R' script file, so that i dont have to hardcode the path and filename

I'm excited about SJava, and I'ld love to get it working, but can't get past loading the package. .First.lib fails on this statement: > library.dynam("SJava", "SJava", "C:/PROGRA~1/R/rw1091/library") Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) : unable to load shared library

I gather from reading the back-issues of r-help that it should be possible (modulo a number of caveats) to read an excel (yuck!) file into R using RODBC. I have obtained and installed ODBC and the RODBC package, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to go about it. Can anyone give me a simple recipe? I have an excel file on cdrom, say: /mnt/cdrom/melvin.xls I have started R and loaded

I have setup R 1.9.1 on my Dell laptop running windows XP. I have installed it to C:\R\rw1091. Rgui runs fine, but Rcmd fails if run with parameters (i.e. install). The windows dialog box cheerfully says "R for Windows front-end has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Running the visual C++ debugger informs me that there is an unhandled

The utils package has a misc folder, and some other packages have folders that are not listed in the R-extensions documentation (?data?, ? demo?, ?exec?, ?inst?, ?man?, ?po?, ?src?, and ?tests?). I'd like to be able to put some ancillary data into a misc folder, but it's mere presence in the source folder or source tarball (created with R CMD build) does not mean that it gets put into

Hi, I'm trying to get C code working with R. This is my first time writing C on Windows and I'm making a mess of it. Help! I'm following the example in Roger Peng's "An Introduction to the .C interface to R". The C code is: #include <R.h> void hello(int *n){ int i; for(i=0; i < *n; i++) { Rprintf("Hello, world!\n"); } } I seem to be unable
