similar to: make R package for windows on Linux

Hi, I ran into an odd problem with the print command for R-2.0 on a windows machine. The icelandic character thorn (??,??) which is included in in the Latin-1 character set [iso/8859-1 char# 222 (upper case) and #254 (lower case)] prints out incorrectly. Instead of getting the correct character I get the octal codes for upper and lower case thorn (\336 or \376). This only happens on a windows

I recently installed Mandrake 10.1 on my laptop, downloaded the latest version of R, compiled it and ran it. To my surprise I discovered that the X11() command returned an error to the effect that X was not available. Examining R config.log I noticed that there were several complaints about X and tcl in there. Basic include files, such as X11/X.h were not found. I have previously compiled

I recently wrote a package that runs on both Linux and Windows. The functions fetch data to an SQL database and make diverse plots, usually with many labels and annotations. I recently noticed that on SOME windows computers the fonts in the plots were too large, which caused labels to overlap. On other windows computers this does not happen. However on both computers the command

Hi, I just updated to R-2.1.1 and updated packages acordingly However, after the update, routines that use polar.plot did not function as correctly. In plotrix 1.3.3 the polar.plot function does scale label.pos to radians prior to calling radial.plot Hence, the command polar.plot(c(5,10,5,0),c(-10,0,10,20),rp.type='P',

Hi R-gurus, In python one can do >>> import string >>> print string.letters and get the characters in the local character set. This feature is often useful in Python, and if I could find it in R I could make good use of it. In R both Sys.getlocale() and localeToCharset() can tell me which charset I am using, but I haven't found a way to print out the actual characters.

Hi, I am trying to understand the behaviour of the plot function. If I have novdate <- as.Date("2001/11/1") + (0:29) y <- 1:30 b <- data.frame(novdate,y) then plot(b$novdate,b$y) will produce a plot where the x-ticmarks are given as dates (Nov 04, Nov 09 etc), but plot(b) will produce a plot where the x-tickmars are integer values (#day since Jan 1st 1970) In the first

I have corrected a typo in my previous posting. In what follows the line with the inequality is correct Hi , I have two sorted vectors X and Xi, where the range of Xi lies within the range of X. For an element in Xi, I want to find the neigbouring data in X, e.g. find an index ix so that for element number k, then X[ix[k]] < Xi[k] < X[ix[k] +1] # also OK with "<=" on either

Hi , I have two sorted vectors X and Xi, where the range of Xi lies within the range of X.

I'm having a very hard time making R CMD check produce a clean check on examples because of the timings inserted into examples by R CMD check. I am getting a difference on every example output caused by timing information being inserted by 'R CMD check'. The current 'Writing R Extensions' manual[1] states on p. 14: If directory tests has a subdirectory Examples

Hi R Gurus! I'm trying to create a test package using the package.skeleton function. I wanted to add some compiled code too. In the src library, I put together a baby subroutine, compiled it and created a test.dll When I use the R cmd build, it works fine. But I get into trouble with the R CMD check section. /home/Desktop/R-2.5.1/bin # ./R CMD check mypkg * checking for working latex ...

Hi, my name is Paula. Im trying to learn how to build an R package in Windows XP using a simple example which includes a C source code. The foo.c file is located in mypkg/src/foo.c. I used the command Rcmd build --force --binary [pkgpath]. The problem is when I install the zip file in R the function foo doesn?t exist. The result a recieved during the building process is copied below. I really

Hello useRs I am trying to build a package for personal use and for making easier working with other people but I keep getting the same error message about the DESCRIPTION file not existing. when trying to install from a source tar.gz file: Error in .read_description(dfile) : file 'C:/Users/Propriétaire/AppData/Local/Temp/RtmpHFMONb/R.INSTALL647a3535/mypkg/DESCRIPTION' does not

Hi: I'm trying to create a package to pass to someone else to use a group of functions with help files. I'm working on Windows XP. Step One: I use the example > ## two functions and two "data sets" : > f <- function(x,y) x+y > g <- function(x,y) x-y > d <- data.frame(a=1, b=2) > e <- rnorm(1000) > >

Greetings: I've installed Rtools, MikTeX, perl, minGW, and HTML Help Workshop, and have succeeded in making, checking (using R CMD check mypkg) then building the simple example package.skeleton(list=c("f","g","d","e"), name="mypkg") R CMD build mypkg produces a tarball. I don't know how to get a zip file. But when I try to Install

I am attempting to develop a multiple regression model using selected model variables that should all be treated as numeric (mostly real) values. However, R considers one specific variable "mass" automatically to be of class "factor", probably because "mass" consists of integer values that are repeated. I now want to force R to treat "mass" as a numeric

I have defined a function to compute the value of a beta distribution of the second kind (the existing beta distribution of th stats package is the beta distribution of the first kind). It works perfectly for a single value, but I want to apply it to a vector of 22 000 values. I can use a loop for the calculation of each value but it runs very very slowly. So, what can I change ? Hers's the

Dear friends, I am writing a package that I think may be of interest to many people so I am in the process to build-check-write-thedocumentation for it. I have some questions regarding the "rules" that a package should abide in order to be consistent with the other packages on CRAN. I have read and reread the Writing R extension manual and googled the mailing list and I have found

Hi, 'R CMD INSTALL mypkg' and 'install.packages(mypkg, repos=NULL)' don't update mypkg help pages when mypkg is a source directory. They only install new help pages if there are some but they leave the already installed pages untouched. So you end up with mixed man pages from different versions of the package :-/ I found no mention of this in 'R CMD INSTALL --help' or

I am building a package say mypkg. Five months ago, when I built the package I got the mypkg manual in pdf format. Today, after making updates, I build the same package, same name, and steps; unfortunately I do not get the manual in pdf format. Rather I get the following message: cd: can't cd to /cygdrive/c/Documents saving output to 'mypkg-manual.pdf' ...Done Could any one
