Dear R Gurus: Is there a problem with Rmpi on x86 with SUSE 10.1, please? I've tried everything and it still won't load. Has anyone else dealt with this please? Thanks, Edna Bell

Hi R Gurus! This is definitely off topic, but I thought I'd try: what is the way to put in url's into a Latex file, please? I know that you start with a \newcommand statement, with some kind of argument that will change, but I'm not sure how to set it up, please. thanks, Edna Bell

Dear R Gurus: I read somewhere that functions are considered vectors. Is this true, please? thanks Edna Bell

Hi R Gurus! I have a package that I am putting together. I waited until the end to do the documentation and would like to generate a set of "empty" .Rd files. Is there a quick way to do this, please?

Hello R Gurus: I would like to take a character string and split at the $ sign. I thought that strsplit would do it, but here are the results: > vv [1] "whine$ts1" > vv [1] "whine$ts1" > strsplit(vv,"$") [[1]] [1] "whine$ts1" Does anyone have any suggestions, please? Thanks, Edna Bell

Dear R Gurus: I'm working slowly through "R Programming for Bioinformatics", which is really interesting! Anyway, my question now is: what determines if a function is a builtin vs. a closure, please? For instance: > typeof(sqrt) [1] "builtin" > typeof(mean) [1] "closure" > Thanks, Edna Bell

Hi R Gurus! I have 2 questions, please: a. I'm putting together a little baby package on SUSE Linux 10.1. I want to create a zip of the package for windows. How should I create that please? b. I don't know if the following is possible but here it is: I have R and a bunch of libraries set up very nicely. I would like to hand off this setup to someone else. Should I just copy

R CMD check gives an error when a vignette entry %\VignetteDepends{} has any extra space at the end. Maybe this is by design, but I found it confusing. Changing the function "vignetteMetaRE" in tools package could solve the problem. I.e. vignetteMetaRE <- function(tag) paste("[[:space:]]*%+[[:space:]]*\\\\Vignette", tag,"\\{([^}]*)\\}", sep = "")

Hi all, I'm very new to R. I have installed R 1.9.0 on Linux (Fedora). Now I got an self-made package comprising R functions as well as C-Code which are used in several R functions. I installed the package without any error (see install log below). Then, I checked in /usr/lib/R/library if the package izbi exists and it exists. But whenever I try to load the library on the command line I

Hi again!

Dear R Gurus: How do I find the functions which are primitives, please? Thanks, Edna Bell

Hi, I apologize for this often/old question. I found some hints but couldn't solve the problem so far. I have C functions (incl. the header files) as well as the R wrapper functions which I want to use for faster calculations. These functions are included in a R package. The installation process seems to be ok (no errors). I also can load the package without errors. But when I call the
