similar to: mysterious (to me) automatic loading of packages when R starts up

Hi all, I recently (today) updated the Matrix package and installed the latticeExtra package, but then when I tried to load the lme4 package, I got the following error message:- > library(lme4) Loading required package: Matrix Loading required package: latticeExtra Error in importIntoEnv(impenv, impnames, ns, impvars) : object(s) '.__C__lmeRep' are not exported by

Hi all, Wouldn't it be nice (??!!) if R automatically issued a warning message when the R console buffer was about to fill so that you could save all your output into a text file? (I know about sink(), but I think it would be good to have an easier mechanism to save a complete record of messages and function output). And on a similar vein, wouldn't it also be nice if R automatically

Hi all, Can someone tell me how to justify (right or left) the labels on the branches of a dendrogram tree? I have produced a dendrogram via agnes and plotted it with pltree. The dendrogram terminal branch labels seem to be centre-justified by default and I was hoping to change this to left justification.

Hi all, I've ecountered a problem in the last few days with my .Rhistory file not being able to be updated when I quit an R session because its file attributes under Windows have been set as "Hidden". Recently, I put the following line in my global Rprofile file:- history(max.show=Inf) so that I automatically open the entire history file for a project when I begin a session, but I

Hi all, Would someone like to comment on the relation between the "buffer bytes" and "lines" settings in the console settings? Are they interdependent? If so, how? And why allow both to be tweaked? If not, what is the effect of changing "lines", but leaving "buffer bytes" the same? I wanted to be able to see more of some large outputs in my console, as I

Hi all, Just to follow up Don Driscoll's earlier post, can anyone please explain why "se.contrast" fails here?? > shp<-factor(rep(c("reserve","strip"),each=96)) > > > site<-factor(rep(c("1g","1p","1t","2g","2p","2t","3g","3p","3t","4g","4p

Hi all, Regular and avid readers of this column will know that Don Driscoll and I have recently posted two messages requesting assistance concerning an apparent failure of "se.contrast" to produce an se for a contrast. So far, an ominous silence rings in our ears, but read on Gentle Reader, and see if even the machinations of "debug" doesn't stimulate you to respond with a

If there is a helpfile open (f.e ?glm) and it is the top window, then an exception error occurs (closing RGUI) when I hit the open file button. If the helpfile is not the top window (of the RGUI) I am able to open a new script without any error. The RGUI is not closing complete there is a blank screen left which I have to close with the X Button or Taskmanager Windows XP Home - German Version

I can reproduce this in MDI. Another clue is that as the pager for ?merge is opened, the font in the console changes. The console is still working: commands you type in it are accepted. So the issue appears to be that the font in use has been changed incorrectly (and it seems that the C code thinks it has been changed in the preferences dialog).

Hi all, my uni has recently switched to using a proxy (with password) for accessing Web pages outside the uni. I have since found that "update packages" etc no longer seem to work from R. I have tried to fix this problem in two ways:- 1) renaming internet2.dll to internet.dll in the "Modeules" folder and proceeding as usual. When I tried "update packages" from the

Hello all, would someone please tell me why the following code doesn't "work" (i.e. do what i expected!). I wanted to convert numeric variables in a matrix to ordered (for input as nominal variables into the 'daisy' program). Why does the following code seem to work, but the "is.ordered" command reports that the variables are not ordered (factors)?? > xxx <-

Like many, I am sure, I get R-Help in digest form. Its easy enough to browse the subject lines, but then if an entry interests you, you have to embark on this tedious search or scroll to find it. It would be great to have a "clickable" digest, where the topics list is a set of pointers, and clicking on a topic takes you to that entry. I can think of at least one way to do this via

Hi all, I have a bit of a newbie question here that I hope y'all can help with. I've run a cluster analysis using hclust on about 500 objects (using R1.3 under Win 2000). The problem is that the tips of the dendrogram are so close together on the plot that the labels overlap and are unreadable. I've used "cex" to reduce the label sizes but this isn't sufficient with so

Hi, there! I finally became a disciple of 'R', after having lost years of my life handling data with a popular, rather wide-spread spreadsheet-software. Now I want to plot the results of many runs of my simulation over time, so that the means +/- Standard error are on the y-axis, and time on the x-axis. I have tried 'boxplot', with timesteps as the grouping variable, but did

I've just filed bug 0004634. Grub won't install onto my pata drive now that I have a sata drive installed. This is grub 0.97 on CentOS5.5. Has anyone else encountered this? I'm guessing that I can always install Fedora on hda, which should give me a working grub, but I was hoping for something a little less involved. Thanks, Dave Mackay
