similar to: R on gentoo amd64 (gcc 3.3.3) is unstable

This has been in the R-admin manual for a least a week, and I reported it here earlier than that. R 2.0.0 alpha does not allow f2c on 64-bit platforms. It's all been dealt with quite awhile ago ....

I think I've said it before, but I think such a book ought to coauthor Paul Johnson, whether or not he does any work beyond the Rtips web pages. A few of the tips may need a bit of

dear wizards: my .Rprofile has just one command for testing, loadhistory("~/.Rhistory") but this gives me an error on R startup: Error: couldn't find function "loadhistory" Invoking loadhistory() as the first interactive command works fine; incidentally, I believe loadhistory() in the .Rprofile worked in earlier or other platform R releases, too. Is the .Rprofile

Dear R Wizards: Running R 1.9.1. on amd64. Promise<- c(0,20,40); Expect<- c(0, 20, 0.2*20+.8*40 ); # this omits printing numbers on the axes labels. pdf(file = "bug.pdf" ); plot(Promise, Expect, type="b", ylim=c(0,60)); dev.off(); # this works postscript(file = "bug.eps" ); plot(Promise, Expect, type="b", ylim=c(0,60)); dev.off(); apologies if

hi: could someone please point me to a function that allows me to solve general non-linear functions? > irr.in <- function(r, c1, c2, c3 ) { return(c1+c2/(1+r) + c3/(1+r)^2); } > solve.nonlinear( irr.in, -100, 60, 70 ); 0.189 If someone has written an irr function, this would be helpful, too---though not difficult to write, either. thanks for any pointers.

dear R wizards: I would like to write a function that roughly places the equivalent of the following latex text into the current plot: \newcommand{ \placesigma }[4]{ \put(\#1,\#2){ \sigma_{A , #3} = #4 } I cannot figure out how to do this. I know I have to use a function that uses expressions in a text() invoke. But passing arguments and nesting strings and expressions has so far not

SAS * better manuals. * tech support for most universities contracted into the price, thus for researchers. * batch orientation. if you have to handle data sets that are as large as your memory, SAS generally does it better. It seems to be an "n-pass design." Years ago, when memory was expensive, I could not use S/R even for simple problems. Just a few simple operations, and I

dear R community: i have been looking but failed to find the following: is there a function in R that updates a plain OLS lm() model with one additional observation, so that I can write a function that computes recursive residuals *quickly*? PS: (I looked at package strucchange, but if I am not mistaken, the recresid function there takes longer than iterating over the models fresh from

Hi, I am having trouble with some code that I am dyn.loading. I am writing an interface to ARPACK. I compile my interface (dssimp.cc), and link it against the ARPACK library (libarpack_SUN4.a): g++ -shared -static -fPIC dssimp.cc -o dssimp.so -larpack_SUN4 -lg2c -lm I can dyn.load the code and it appears OK. However, when I call my function, the call to the function in the ARPACK library

I have been trying to compile the earth Multivariate Adaptive Regression of Splines package as a standalone application under Linux (x86_64 kernel-2.6.27.21 openSUSE 11.1) with gcc 4.3.2. The package compiles without problems from within R as an R module and I get the following linker error: earth.c:(.text+0x1a14): undefined reference to `dqrdc2_' earth.c:(.text+0x1ae4): undefined

Dear Dirk, I have had the exactly same problem like Ivo and his solution worked for me. Hence the USE=f77 flag is NOT a typo but a Gentoo quirk. As far as modifying the configure script is concerned, I believe that it is certainly possible to perform said check (if 'f77 --version == f2c' then die) only on x86_64 platforms. And I'd argue it is f2c's fault. AMD64 linux distros have

My appologies, this estimation is about right, I spent last week at COMPSTAT in prague and didn't follow the list closely. Inspite of this fact I believe my posting is not entirely out of date. regards Diman Todorov ------------------------------ You are 8 days behind the times -- take a look at the current R-devel.

Hi! I am trying to compile R-1.8.1 on an alphaserver running Tru64 Unix. I use the compilers cc,cxx and f77. After the compilation I try: make check and get the following message: Make: Cannot open /share/make/vars.mk. Stop. Does anyone have any suggestions on why? Regards Arne Gjuvsland

Dear R wizards: under R-2.1.0: eargs <- 3:5; line <- paste(c("echo A B", eargs)); cat("executing from R: '", line, "'\n"); system(line); Oddly, only "A" and "B" are echoed, not the eargs. I had hoped that line would be one string at this point, and for printing this seems to be true. However, unlist(line) still gives me the 4

hi: where would I find facilities to draw circles, ovals, and semicircles? (or should I construct them myself using curve?) regards, /ivo

I ran into an interesting oddity of R, if (0) { print(1); } else { print(2); } is a syntax error, while if (0) { print(1); } else { print(2); } or if (0) { print(1); } else { print(2); } is not. I presume it has to do with the duality of the newline functioning as an end of command (;) character, though it still seems a bit odd, and it took me a while to figure out

dear R wizards--- I would like to do some book-on-demand printing at a popular printer named lulu, but lulu requires inclusion even of the basic postscript fonts. Interestingly, my book itself does not need the 14 base acrobat fonts, only the embedded R figures do. Of course, I really would like to get pdftex to embed the fonts, but how to do this is not obvious either. [This method seems
