Colleagues, I am trying to understand how R (2.12.1) obtains the PATH environment variable in Windows (7 or Vista). Startup {base} directs one to: "R_ENVIRON" -- which equals "" in my systems R_HOME/etc/Renviron.site -- which does not exist Next, it directs to: R_HOME/etc/Rprofile.site -- which also does not exist (the expected behavior in a "factory-fresh"

Hi all, I have been experiencing difficulties building R (be this 2.13.1, beta, devel, or rc) on Windows 7 64bit. I believe I am following the manual religiously, and don't think I am doing anything differently from the many successful build attempts in the past. Unzipping the tarball works fine, but when I invoke make, I get (shown for R-rc, same for 2-13.1):

I'm using R on Windows XP Professional SP2. I figured out the fix for my buffer overflow problem that did not allow me to use Rgui.exe for about two weeks. I would keep getting "console not found" and even when I uninstalled and re-installed got the same problem. Here's how the problem started. In Rgui.exe, I attempted to get more visible output in the buffer (I wanted

I would like to compile for Windows a rather simple R package that contains some C code. It does not contain any Fortran code. I tried the cross-compilation route using the pre-built set of tools from http://www.devolution.com/~slouken/SDL/Xmingw32/, as described in $R_SRC/src/gnuwin32/INSTALL Using the sources in r-devel from the rsync site I am able to build libR.a in src/gnuwin32 but I

Hi, In the FAQ I read about options to specify different fonts than the default ones for the console (in the file Rprofile) and for the graphical output (Rdevga). I would however like to replace Latin 1 with Latin 2 enconding for both (console and graphical) output in Windows and just graphical output in Linux. I guess it is possible but I did not find the way. How can I use the fonts

Using R 2.9.2 on Windows XP SP3. 1. Edit ~/Rconsole, and set font = TT Bitstream Vera Sans Mono 2. Start Rgui.exe 3. Go to Edit, GUI Preferfences 4. Rgui.exe crashes Rgui.exe does not crash if I do not access GUI Preferences (i.e., if I just use R), and it does correctly use Bitstream Vera Sans Mono as my font. Nor does it crash if I edit RConsole to set the font back to Lucida Console and

Is there a fundamental reason why I cannot set either one of ## add local library path -- doesn't work either R_LIBS_USER="c:/opt/R-library" R_LIBS_SITE="c:/opt/R-library" in $R_HOME/etc/Rcmd_environ even though I can seemingly set other things here? It breaks "R CMD check" for me as I prefer NOT to install packages in a versioned path. FWIW,

Does anybody know how to produce a East-European character "??" - "c with a v-shaped hat " in R (in text or plot)? I do know how to get "??,??" - "s,z, with a v-shaped hat", but not this one. Thanks in advance for any suggestions, Ales Ziberna P.S.: I am using Windows XP and R version 1.9.1 (details below) $platform [1]

Dear all I am using two computers, one with Windows2000 and the other one with W98 both have the same version (precompiled binary) R 1.8.1 and I have experienced a slight problem with text used in plotting on W98 machine. When I try to write some local characters into R console ????? (not sure if it is OK on your computers) in W2000 **everything** is OK but in W98 some of the characters

Hi, I was looking for a Windows-specific R function to focus the console window and couldn't find one. The motivation is that after loading the tcltk package, the "main" Tk window "." is presumably focused but then immediately withdrawn (hidden) so the RConsole loses its focus and you have to click on it to continue typing. Would there be any interest in including a

Dear SavioRs, I am doing some research where characters in different microsoft fonts serve as experimental stimuli. Hence, in plot labels, I would like to display the characters in specific microsoft fonts. I have figured out how to display letters and numbers, but I am having trouble with symbols such as capital delta. Before I go further, I am using R 2.2.1 on Windows XP with everything

I run R on MS Windows. In R2.9.0dev, I type ?base to get "R help for package base" to open. I then select ".First" from the list of contents, getting a page headed: "Initialization at Start of an R Session". About half way down there is a sentence: The command-line flag --vanilla implies --no-site-file, --no-init-file, --no-restore and --no-environ. Under

I am having no luck compiling R-2.0.1 on a Windows XP platform. I have not had these problems when compliling previous versions of R. I've installed all the recommended software and tools. But I cannot get round this error message: make make[1]: `Rpwd.exe' is up to date. make -f Makefile.docfiles make[3]: Nothing to be done for `docfiles'. -------- Building

R (Windows version) users/developers: While I have checked R-help/-devel mailing lists and R-bug-tracking system, this problem has not been reported so far. I would like to know whether this problem is specific to my machine. Lately I downloaded the version 1.5.0 patched [for windows] from http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/bdr/RWin/Rpre/ [patched: 2002-06-05] and

Hola! Starting with rw1071, just after starting Rgui the scope is not with Rconsole, but some other place. This means I have to do a mouse click in the Rconsole before starting to write the first command. Since I always forget this, I end up writing the first command twice. This is of course only a minor nuisance, but why is focus no longer set to Rconsole window when start-up? This is on

Full_Name: Xiang Li Version: 2.01 OS: WinXP Submission from: (NULL) (128.248.174.125) I am trying to use the font of "TT Courier New: bold" to get the equal size of letters. The "TT Courier New: bold" is the 11th font listed in the Rdevga file. You can just try a simple case: plot(1:10, 1:10, xlab = "XILMV", font.lab = 11) I save the plot in postscript format,

I want to modify my Gui preferences to get rid of the MDI toolbar and status bar. [ Under Windows XP and R 1.8.1 and 1.9.0.] When I uncheck the boxes and click "apply" I am told to save the preferences and the changes will take effect when restarting R. I click "save" and a box comes up to ask me to save Rconsole (I'm not sure where this should be saved but I navigate

Sorry, I don't use Windows... can't help there. It's customary to keep cc'ing the list on these sorts of things so someone with a more similar platform/ more expertise can take the issue up if needed. Maybe someone else will be able to help you out. Michael On Fri, Apr 27, 2012 at 9:05 AM, geo theory <geotheory1 at gmail.com> wrote: > Hi there > > Window 7. Sorry

Am encountering two related problems since the 2.15 release. Apologies in advance for a mundane non code-related post, but you know how it is. I'm using the basic R GUI. 1: I use a black environment for no glare, so pre-version 2.15 I've had black backgrounds and white text. Since the 2.15 release my script window text has colour turned itself black (so is now invisible) and now I

Dear R users: Today (December 18th) I downloaded R1.2.0 for Windows from ftp://ftp.stat.unipd.it/users/guido/RWin and then invoked its Rgui.exe to change its gui configuration. After I set new values in Rgui configuration Editor frame and saved the set of new parameters as a "Rconsole" file, then I re-started Rgui and R issued an error message concerning the buffer-line-value in the
