I have gotten this error while attempting to build R-2.13.2 and R-2.14.0 using ./configure --with-x=no --enable-R-shlib, and ./configure --with-x=no Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.6 (Tikanga) ========================= Warning in solve.default(rgb) : unable to load shared object '/users/home/mked/R-2.13.2/modules//lapack.so': /users/home/mked/R-2.13.2/lib/libRlapack.so:

Colleagues, Hopefully a simple problem: I want to delete a column with a known name from a dataframe. I could write: FRAME <- FRAME[, names(FRAME) != NAMETODELETE] or FRAME <- FRAME[, !names(FRAME) %in% c(NAME1, NAME2, ETC)] Is there some simpler means to accomplish this?

Colleagues, I want to create the following array: "A1", "A2", "A3", "B1", "B2", "B3", "C1", "C2", "C3" I recall that there is a trick using "c" or "paste" permitting me to form all combinations of c("A", "B", "C") and 1:3. But, I can't recall the

Colleagues, I have some text: TEXT <- c("a", "bb;ccc", "dddd;eeeee;ffffff") I want to retrieve the portion of each element before the first semicolon. I can split each element using strsplit: SPLIT <- strsplit(TEXT, ";") This yields: > SPLIT [[1]] [1] "a" [[2]] [1] "bb" "ccc" [[3]] [1] "dddd"

Colleagues, I am interesting in opening a PDF document via the command line from both Windows, OS X, and Linux ( R version 2.8.0). I found a command openPDF in Biobase. However, I would rather execute the command myself. For example, in OS X: > system("open filename.pdf") is successful. Is there a comparable command line command for Windows or Linux?

Colleagues, I have created a list in the following manner: TEST <- list(c("A1", "A2"), c("B1", "B2"), c("C1", "C2")) I now want to delete one element from the list, e.g., the third. The command TEST[[3]] yields (as expected): [1] "C1" "C2" The command TEST[[-3]] yields: Error:

I run R 2.1.1 in a Linux environment (RedHat 9) although my question is not platform-specific. Consider the following: > A <- c("Prefix-aaa", "Prefix-bbb", "Prefix-ccc") > B <- strsplit(A, "-") > B [[1]] [1] "Prefix" "aaa" [[2]] [1] "Prefix" "bbb" [[3]] [1] "Prefix" "ccc" How

Colleagues After reading in some clinical data, I discovered that the subject ID column contains entries only for the first record for each individual; subsequent rows are recorded as NA. For example: > 1 > NA > NA > NA > NA > 2 > NA > NA > NA > NA > 3 > NA > NA > ... I can think of various approaches to replace the NA values with appropriate

Colleagues: I have encountered the following situation: SERIES OF COMMANDS source("File1") MORE COMMANDS source("File2") Optimally, I would like File1 and File2 to be merged into a single file (FileMerged). However, if I wrote the following: SERIES OF COMMANDS source("FileMerged") MORE COMMANDS I encounter an error: the File2 portion of FileMerged

Unless I force the Fortran compiler through --with-g77, configure fails to find and use the installed g77. I would submit a patch for configure.in, but I can't quite follow the logic in configure.in. $ ./configure creating cache ./config.cache [...] checking for main in -lm... yes checking for g77... /usr/local/gnu/bin/g77 checking for fort77...

Colleagues R 2.8.0; OS X, Vista, Ubuntu Linux In some instances, when I create a graphic using plot(XVAR, YVAR), it would be valuable to know the values that R will display on the y-axis (e.g., if the range of data is 0-70, it might display 0, 10, 30, 50, 70). Is there a simple means to access these values? Also, in some instances, additional ticks appear between the displayed values

Is it possible to run Fortran 95 code from R? I don't think so, but hopefully someone can prove me wrong. Here is the test I tried: A little fortran 95 subroutine: subroutine allloc() real, dimension(:, :), allocatable :: a integer :: n n = 10 allocate(a(n,n+1)) end I then compiled: >g95 -c allloc.f >R CMD SHLIB allloc.o Here is what happens when I try to dyn.load it in R 2.1.0

Colleagues, Please forgive my ignorance of this topic. I am experienced with the installation/use of R in OSX and Windows, much less so with Linux. I just created a virtual machine of Ubuntu 9.0.4. Using the Synaptic Package Manager, I installed R 2.8.1. I would like to obtain 2.9.x and I am having trouble doing so using the tools available within Ubuntu. I tried apt-get install

Hello List, Knowing I would eventually need to ask for help on the list, I've held off my thanks and congratulations on the 1.+ releases of R. I am amazed at the dedication of the R-core team, and do add my applause and thanks. I've had a compile problem with the latest version which has not occurred before. I'm compiling under: platform sparc-sun-solaris2.6 arch sparc

I have data in the following format: > DATE [1] "01/13/2004" In order to find the difference between two data points, I presently use brute force to calculate the day of the year: > strptime(DATE, format="%m/%d/%Y")$yday [1] 12 Although this works, it may not be robust over different years. I assume that R is sufficiently clever that a much simpler approach

OK: despite Dirk's very kind help, I decided that trying to deal with R configuration and Debian configuration simultaneously was too difficult. I did manage to solve my problem by reconfiguring/making/ installing all of 2.3.1 from source: ./configure F77=/usr/bin/g77 make make install A few questions inspired by this experience: (1) it seems a bit odd that R sets F77=gfortran by

Colleagues, I submitted this several days ago and no one responded, so I am trying again, trying a different subject line: I just encountered some unexpected behavior of difftime in relationship to the change from daylight savings to standard time. My understanding is that DST and ST take effect at 2AM. However, the results below suggests that R (version 2.8.0 in OS X) implements the

Colleagues I frequently insert PDF graphics created with R into Word (Office 2004 for Mac) documents. The documents are created on either a Linux machine (RedHat 9) or a Mac (Tiger). I am using R 2.2.0. These pdf graphics often lose a great deal of resolution after insertion into Word compared to their high quality when printed as PDF documents. I recently learned that converting the
