Hello All, I'm getting this error (Version: 1.9.0-1 on a debian system) > update.packages("mgcv") trying URL `ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/cran/src/contrib/PACKAGES' ftp data connection made, file length 169516 bytes opened URL .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... ..........

Good day to all of you and thank you for reading this. I certainly must have done something awfully wrong when I downloaded and installed R 2.0.0 on a PC with Windows 98. You will find below what happens when I try to 'update.packages()'. I know what the first 'warning message' means. About the others, I ain't got no clue. Thank you very handsomely for your wisdom. And

Dear list, If anyone knows how to assign dimnames to matrices or arrays I would be most grateful for help. I've tried various permutations of likely-looking code but get error messages every time. I could find no example in the documentation. Many thanks, Dan Bebber Department of Plant Sciences University of Oxford South Parks Road Oxford OX1 3RB UK Tel. 01865 275000

Hi all, The write_PACKAGES function has a 'fields' argument that allows a user generating a PACKAGES file to specify additional fields to include. For symmetry, it would be nice for the available.packages function to be able to read those extra fields when specified. Similarly, it would be useful for installed.packages to have a 'fields' argument. This would allow a user to

Dear R list: I modelled changes in a variable (mconc) over time (d) for individuals (replicate) given one of three treatments (treatment) using: mconc.lme <- lme(mconc~treatment*poly(d,2), random=~poly(d,2)|replicate, data=my.data) summary(mconc.lme) shows that the linear coefficient of one of the treatments is significantly different to zero, viz. Value Std.Error

I am plotting subsets of my data, using ylim. This works fine, but the outer margin line widths of the plot are thin, due to clipping. If I include > trellis.par.set(clip=list(panel = "off")) then the outer margin line widths are fine, but the outlying data is visible. Is there any way of achieving both correct margin line widths and clipping of outlying data? Thanks, Dan Bebber

HI, i tried to install package by using update.packages( "locfit" ) I got the following error: trying URL `http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/PACKAGES' Content type `text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1' length 172492 bytes opened URL .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... ..........

Dear R list I have an m * n matrix P and a vector V of length n containing indices for rows in P. For each of the m columns I want to extract the value in the row specified by V, and put these values into a new vector W of length n. At present I am doing this with a for.... loop, but I imagine there is a faster way that doesn?t involve loops. If anyone knows the way I would be most grateful.

Dear all, I was trying to build my own R package cts on LINUX but got the following "checking package dependencies error" and a warning message. What were wrong? Thanks, Zhu # R CMD check cts * checking for working latex ... OK * using log directory '/home/zwang/R/pkg/cts.Rcheck' * using Version 2.3.0 (2006-04-24) * checking for file 'cts/DESCRIPTION' ...

Hello ... I found this due to a situation where installed.packages() was given a lib.loc argument that turned out to not have any R packages installed. As an example: > z <- tempfile() > dir.create(z) > installed.packages(z) Error in "colnames<-"(*tmp*, value = c("Package", "LibPath", pkgFlds)) : dimnames applied to non-array Looking at the code,

I'd be curious to know what others think of Rich's patch. If it is acceptable, I can spend time that I was going to look at it this week on another bug. -----Original Message----- From: Rich Calaway Sent: Friday, June 23, 2017 6:34 PM To: Nathan Sosnovske <nsosnov at microsoft.com>; Duncan Murdoch <murdoch.duncan at gmail.com>; Andrie de Vries <apdevries at gmail.com>

Recently I was trying to cite a package where the authors have ? and ? in their names. I found that on Windows the citation() function did not return the authors' names at all, but on Linux there was no problem (sessionInfos at the bottom): On Windows, no author names are returned: #--------------- > citation("readr") To cite package ?readr? in publications use: (2017).

No, I do not get the same as you. I have tested with R-devel and R-patched compiled today. When I do R CMD Rd2pdf mpra I get (as reported a few days ago) Hmm ... looks like a package Converting Rd files to LaTeX Error : mpra/man/mpra-package.Rd:6: file './DESCRIPTION' does not exist whereas you (Kurt) reports that this works on zTree. When I do R CMD Rd2pdf mpra/man I get - a

Hi Duncan, Thanks for your reply. Yes, it does seem to be specific to the CTYPE setting to Chinese on Windows. If I set it to English using Sys.setlocale() there is no problem, then back to Chinese and the authors disappear: Sys.setlocale("LC_ALL","English") citation("readr") #' To cite package ?readr? in publications use: #' #' Hadley Wickham, Jim

Hi, Today we've seen the following problem with the R-2.12 that we use for our Windows builds: > installed.packages() Error: subscript out of bounds After some investigation we discovered that the cause of this failure was that 1 of the 890 packages currently installed on the machine (Windows Server 2003 R2) had its DESCRIPTION file empty:

Hi, Duncan i have forwarded this thread to Nathan, who promised to look into it.

Hi Duncan, I'm guessing I'll be able to look at this over the weekend/next week (probably closer to next week). It is on my list of things to do and I've just had a few other prior commitments that I have to finish first. Sorry for the delay. I'll chime in with a status update next week.

This is a continuation of the R-devel thread with subject "suggestion to fix packageDescription() for Windows users" : As I said there, a patch should rather address the underlying problem in packageDescription rather than a kludgy workaround patch for citation(). (For that same reason, Ben Marwick proposed to fix packageDescription() rather than the symptom seen in citation().)

Hi, just a little wish : Could we have one (or maybe more) standardized optional tag(s) for package DESCRIPTION files to cover svn revision info? This would be very useful for bug reporting... I know that any developer is already free to append corresponding lines to DESCRIPTION files to do something of this sort --- e.g. lines like LastChangedDate: {$LastChangedDate: 2009-03-31 $}
