Sorry, gmail seemed to have made an attachment out of my first attempted post. Trying again: ------------------------------ At the encouragement of many at UseR, I'm trying to build my first real package. I have no C/Fortran code, just plain old R code, so it should be rocket science. On a Linux box, I used package.skeleton() to create a basic package containing just one "hello

Recently I tried to install a package in R version 1.8.1 for Windows. First I un".tar.gz"ed it and ".zip"ed it back in to be able to use the option Install package(s) from local zip files...

However, ??plot.rpart? does bring up the help for the function. The same things occur for text.rpart, although print(my.tree) does work.

Normally, I use the "Murdoch-Sutherland" tool set, http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/ just build source packages by R CMD build <pkgname> and install these with R CMD INSTALL <pkgname> But now, for someone without having this tool set installed, under Win XP, with R-2.10dev

Hi I have been trawling the web, FAQs, and R manuals for help on the following issue, but have failed and was wondering if anyone has a solution to the following problem: After having installed R 2.6.2 for Windows (binary), I tried to install various packages.

Dear R-helpers, I would like the bands in an xYplot() to be gray without dark edges. I've tried playing around with col.bands, but that seems not to affect the edges, although changin col.fill does change the fill as I would expect. I would appreciate pointers. _____________________________ Professor Michael Kubovy University of Virginia Department of Psychology USPS: P.O.Box

R-devel, SVN revision 35729 (this morning, euro-time) So far, I'm having awful luck with the "installWithVers" flags.

We are building a package, and want to create S4 methods for both head and mean for our own BigMatrix class. Following the recommendation in "Writing R Extensions" we use exportMethods instead of export in NAMESPACE (this is described as being "clearer"). This works for head, but not for mean. Obviously we importFrom(utils, head), but don't need to do this for mean,
