similar to: How to include a vignette with my package?

I am currently writing a (private) package in which I produce pdf files from within R using LaTeX. To do so I mainly copied some lines from the buildVignettes() function in the tools package. This uses the texi2dvi which is included in R's bin directory: system(paste(file.path(R.home(), "bin", "texi2dvi"), "--quiet --pdf", bft)) This runs

Dear lists: I am somewhat puzzled by the use of texi2dvi/pdflatex in R2.7.0. When building EBImage (bioconductor) with 2.7.0 I get the same error both in Windows and Linux, which reads the following: ** building package indices ... * DONE (EBImage) * creating vignettes ... ERROR /usr/bin/texi2dvi: pdflatex exited with bad status, quitting. Error in texi2dvi(file = bft, pdf = TRUE, clean =

I would like to solve the following function in R: G <- function(k) (2*(1 - k)*(1 + 2*k)^.5)/(1+3*k) I want to be able to find "k" for a given "G" Thanks! Francois Aucoin [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hey, I was wondering if there existed a R function similar to 'fsolve' or 'fzero' Matlab functions? Thanks! Francois Aucoin [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear All, I have been checking the metafor package against R-devel. R CMD check --as-cran metafor yields one note: FOSS licence with BuildVignettes: false Yes, I have 'BuildVignettes: FALSE' in my DESCRIPTION file. I see at http://developer.r-project.org/blosxom.cgi/R-devel/NEWS: Tue, 25 Jun 2013 CHANGES IN R-devel UTILITIES 'R CMD check --as-cran' warns about a false

I have packages where I know CRAN and other test platforms do not have all the resources to build the vignettes, for example, access to databases. Previously I think putting BuildVignettes: false in the DESCRIPTION file resolved this, by preventing CRAN checks from attempting to run the vignette code. (If it was not this, then there was some other magic I don't understand.) Now, when

Hey, The following is a function I wrote which generates random variables from a Kappa (2-parameter) distribution. rkappa <- function(n,beta,alpha){ if(alpha <= 0) stop("alpha must be greater than zero!") if(beta <= 0) stop("beta must be greater than zero!") Vec <- beta*exp((1/alpha)*(log(-(alpha/(-1 + exp(alpha*log(runif(n,0,1))))))+

Dear all, When running function 'testQAReport()', which uses function 'buildVignettes()' to create a pdf-file I get the following error: > source("testQAReport.R") > testQAReport() Error in .get_package_metadata(pkgdir) : Files 'DESCRIPTION' and 'DESCRIPTION.in' are missing. Since I did not get this error in earlier versions of R, could you

Hello, I am writing a package called 'DLM' containing a vignette. The vignette contains a chunck with the function call 'library(DLM)'. This worked fine with 'R CMD check DLM', but when it comes to building the package with 'R CMD build DLM' I get the following error message: * creating vignettes ... ERROR Error: chunk 1 Error in library(DLM) : There is no

I'm having a problem rebuilding a package, new to me in R 2.15.0 (Linux) It hits all that contain the line \usepackage[pdftex]{graphics} and leads to the following when running R CMD check on the directory. (I do this often; a final run on the tar.gz file will happen before submission.) Since I float and resize my figures, removing the line is fatal in other ways.

Interesting, yesterday I had exactly this problem, but today I solved it (see the R-pkg-devel list) by _installing_ R-devel and > update.packages(checkBuilt = TRUE) I also tried it on Martin's Fedora 26 example below. Worked fine (had to install some packages...) On ubuntu 16.04. G?ran Brostr?m On 2017-12-06 11:29, Martin Maechler wrote: >>>>>> Pearce, Robert

Hi, On both Unix and Windows there is a mechanism to add variables to the environment when R is started. I noticed that, on Unix, this mechanism is not used when R is started normally at the command line but only when it's started using the 'R CMD' syntax. One problem with this is some lack of consistent cross-platform behaviour. For example: On Linux: $ echo $TEXINPUTS $

In a package 'vig' R CMD build vig (or tools::buildVignettes(dir="vig") with $ cat vig/vignettes/vig1.Rnw \documentclass{article} \begin{document} <<>>= x <- 1 @ \end{document} $ cat vig/vignettes/vig2.Rnw \documentclass{article} \begin{document} <<>>= x @ \end{document} produces vig2.pdf where x is defined with value 1 -- the vignettes share a build

To maintain my R site, I'm trying to install html help files only, but also keep track of the version (with DESCRIPTION). I have the following bash script, which works except for 00Index.html. That is not a huge problem because the help files are still searchable, but I'd like to fix it. A long time ago I asked the same question, and Brian Ripley said to use --index as an option to

I checked after this question popped up on Stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44785961/compile-pdf-in-rstudio-works-but-knit2pdf-does-not-work-in-r-or-rstudio On Windows, texi2pdf looks for the texify.exe of Miktex, but looks in a very wrong place: > Sys.which("texify") texify

Hi, This is a follow-up to the problem reported here: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2010-September/058460.html After I updated R-2.12 to 2010-09-13 r52905 on the Bioc build system, some of the packages that have a Makefile in <pkg>/inst/doc still don't build on Windows. For example, 'R\bin\R.exe CMD build adSplit' gives: * checking for file

I noticed a shQuote fix for Windows in the svn logs. Just wanted to point out that this will favorably affect texi2dvi on Windows which previously used UNIX quoting and so generated an incorrect Windows command. (Note that texi2dvi is used when creating vignettes.) Another problem is that the recommended tex distribution for Windows, fptex, does not have texi2dvi in the first place. The
