similar to: Cannot update some packages after upgrade to 2.1.1

I just dumped Vista off a laptop and installed Ubuntu 10.10 (latest release) as the single operating system. I did all of the updates and then installed emacs and ess. Next I installed R by following the the usual instructions on the CRAN site. At this point all is working I am now in the process of installing the packages that I normally have installed. I am having a problem with the LAPACK

Hello. I am a Linux neophyte and know almost nothing ?about compiling, so I would appreciate any help and advice y'all would care to offer. I am trying to compile the 64 bit version of R using a tuned ATLAS and LAPACK (ATLAS 3.9.24). I am running Ubunto 10.04 LTS (through wubi, FWIW). The ATLAS and LAPACK files (atlas.so, f77blas.so, lapack.so, and cblas.so) are sitting in the folder

I downloaded R-patched (2005-08-04) from CRAN today. I ran ./configure --enable-R-shlib I received the error message: checking for recommended packages... no configure: error: Some of the recommended packages are missing Use --without-recommended-packages if this was intentional I built a previous version of R-patched successfully on my system which is running the SuSE 9,2 Pro Linux

To enhance my understanding, and that of my students, I have a question about cox.zph in the survival package. If I have correctly gleaned the high-level point from the 1994 Biometrika paper of Grambsch and Therneau, it looks to me like cox.zph provides a mechanism to test for a simple trend in plots of a function of time, g(t) versus the scaled schoenfeld residuals and it also provides some

I downloaded R-Patched today (to see if another problem I want to ask about is still present or if its just me - as per the posting guide). I ran "tools/rsync-recommended" successfully. I then ran "configure --enable-R-shlib" successfully. Then make stops with the following error. gcc -shared -L/usr/local/lib -o tools.so text.o init.o Rmd5.o md5.o -L../../../../lib -lR

If I configure in R-patched and R-devel, with the same options to configure, then R-patched says checking for ATL_xerbla in -latlas... yes checking for cblas_dgemm in -lcblas... yes checking for dgemm_ in -lf77blas... yes which R-devel says checking for ATL_xerbla in -latlas... yes checking for cblas_dgemm in -lcblas... yes checking for dgemm in -lf77blas... no This is on the same computer and

Hello, I'm using R 1.40 on MacOS X X.1.2 (installed via the fink package manager). To upgrade my installed packages, I tried to use update.packages() today. All went well for most packages, with the exception of KernSmooth and cluster. In both cases, libraries were not found although I think they are present. Here's what happened: ---------------------------------- >

I feel like Marlon Brando in "On the Waterfront" where he's told "It's not your night, kid", except for me it has been the last two months trying to debug memory problems. Now I can't even install an old version of this package on a netbook running the Ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix because it can't find the libraries libf77blas and libatlas. I have even gone to

I am not sure if this is an R development problem or not. I am starting with completely clean OS and and installing the latest version of R without trying to anything special but I am having trouble with the LAPACK library linking when I try to build packages that require them. I thought perhaps my problem may be if interest here. I just dumped Vista off a laptop formatted the disk and

Dear R users, I recently downloaded the library lme4a by svn checkout svn://svn.r-forge.r-project.org/svnroot/lme4. I tried to install the library lme4a by copying the downloaded document in the location where all the R libraries are saved. When I try to load the library, I obtain the message library(lme4a) Error in library(lme4a) : 'lme4a' is not a valid installed package R

Hello. I have grown accustomed to the .Data directory in S-Plus and so when I came to R I continued that behaviour by saving my workspaces at the end of each R session. So, I have saved workspaces in various directories where I have used R just as I would have had various .Data directories where I had used S-Plus. I have seen comments on the list, most recently from Prof. Ripley that they

Dear All, As suggested in the reply from Dirk Eddelbuettel to my post to R-dev I am reposting here as the problem still persists. Please see my post to R-dev under same heading for additional description if needed. In summary I am starting from a new installation of Ubuntu 10.10 as the single operating system on a reformatted disk with just the OS, ESS and emacs installed before installing R

I'm sure this is simple enough, but an R site search on my subject terms did suggest a solution. I have a numeric vector with many values that I wish to create a factor from having only a few levels. Here is a toy example. > x <- 1:10 > x <-

I beg your pardon if this is too off topic. I am posting here since I hope to find an R solution to my problem. Please indulge me while I give a little background about what I'm trying to do. I'm on a DSMB for a clinical trial. The Steering Committee for the trial has asked us to perform a futility analysis on their primary outcome which is a time-to-event endpoint. The trial was not

Dear community, I encountered a very disturbing phenomenon today: When I try to fit any gam() with mgcv R aborts. I could not find any post regarding this in google, which mades in even more strange. I am using the latest Ubuntu, latest R and latest mgcv everything up to date. The crash occured too with the last mgcv 1.7-11. This is the output from the R shell: <pre> R version 2.14.0

I tried to use write.foreign() to export to SAS this morning and got an error. When I looked at the code for writeForeignSAS() I saw this line: dfn < -df which I think should be dfn <- df So, I tried to run update.packages() to see if there was an updated version and got the following result. > update.packages(c("foreign")) Warning message: In list.files(lib) :

Dear All I am totally new to R and I would like to know whether R is able and appropriate to illustrate to my students the Central Limit Theorem, using for instance 100 independent variables with uniform distribution and showing that their sum is a variable with an approximated normal distribution. Thanks in advance, Paul

Hello. I am posting this on behalf of a student in my class. I have been introducing them to R. I suspect that the problem I need help with is not so much an R issue, but a MAC config issue, but I don't have enough MAC experience to know what to do. Anyway, on to the problem. We are using Frank Harrell's Hmisc and Design packages. This student also wishes to use the latex formatting

I was messing around with some data in R and SAS (the reason is unimportant) fitting a multiple linear regression and got a curious discrepancy. The data set is too big to post, but if someone wants it, I can send it. So, here are the (partial) results: From R: Coefficients: Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|) (Intercept) 61.11434 1.48065 41.275 < 2e-16 *** sexWomen

Dear colleges, I would like to use the lmList function. I have installed the lme4 library but when I try to use the lmList function I get this error message.
