Dear List, I am (still) trying to use the makefile advertised in R-News (the Makefile is a wrapper around other tools). When I try to build a package using the (fairly recent) 'install.R' mecanism, the output leaves me not so confident about the the usability of the pack built for Windows (I am currently unable to verify it): ---------- Making package splicegear ------------ installing

Hello R-users: I'm experiencing difficulty in building a package in R 1.4.1 under Windows 2000. When I run Rcmd I get this: F:\r\library>f:\r\bin\rcmd check ringsim Please set TMPDIR to a valid temporary directory F:\r\library>f:\r\bin\rcmd build ringsim Please set TMPDIR to a valid temporary directory This problem was discussed over a year ago - the problem was attributed to a Perl

Hi, R v2.1.1 patched (2005-05-26) for Windows crashes. The sympotoms are like "memory leakage". The patched version from two days ago crashes at a different position in R CMD check compared to todays version. A "REPRODUCIBLE" EXAMPLE: Unfortunately, I cannot create a minimal code example reproducing the crash, but here is at least a simple way to reproduce it: 1. Make

I have downloaded all of the tools and read the readme's that I know about but I am still getting the following error when I try to build from source: C:\Program Files (x86)\R\R-2.9.2\src\gnuwin32>make all recommended make[1]: `Rpwd.exe' is up to date. cp -p etc/Makeconf etc/Rcmd_environ etc/Rconsole etc/Rdevga etc/Rprofile.site et c/rgb.txt ../../../etc cp: preserving permissions for

SVN revision replaces "slave" with "no-echo" in R devel. In each of the following, "no-echo" is rather strange to me. - src/gnuwin32/README.Rterm 3) As a no-echo process for ESS mode in NTEmacs with flag --ess. - src/library/grDevices/src/qdCocoa.m /* the no-echo thread work until this is NO */

Hi, I'm trying to build R-2.3.1 on windows, but make gives me following error while building pkg-base: ---------- Making package base ------------ adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION make[4]: *** [frontmatter] Error 1 make[3]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: *** [pkg-base] Error 2 make[1]: *** [rpackage] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 Please note that R.exe, Rterm.exe, Rgui.exe, RCmd.exe are

Hello, >From the date time stamps I see that not only do I have the results of the build in 'gnuwin32/front-ends' but I can also see the time stamps have changed in the main bin directory so I assume that the result of 'make all recommended' also copies the results there. Now on to the packages. I was interested in following the flow of 'stl' so I added the following

>From the notes I see that for 2.11 Hmisc is not supported and the suggestion is made to build from source. I am on a Windows 7 platform and I got all of the tools and successfully built 'R' from source. I changed to gnuwin32 and entered make all recommended. Even though the tar.gz (source) version of Hmisc has been downloaded and placed in library/recommended folder the build process

I've been trying to use Rterm.exe, mainly because of Rgui.exe's lack of support for incremental history searching. But on my system (Win XP, SP3), it (rterm from R-2.8.1) frequently just stops responding to keyboard input. This happens often (enough to make it unusable), and generally after a switch to another window. It doesn't seem to hang exactly, as if I leave it a while (minutes)

I noticed that the text() command adds text to a plot. Is there a way to either make the plot blank or add text to a "blank sheet". I would like to "plot" a page that contains just text, no plot lines, labels, etc. Suggestions? Kevin [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I know I am going to catch alot of comments for this question but I am really stuck. If there is some written documentation that I have missed please redirect me. I want to build 'R' from source on a Windows Platform. The main reasons are that I want to check out a debugging some existing packages so I need to build with debug symbols and I want to check out a 64-bit version of

Given a Date object or simply a year is there an R function to tell me if the it is a leap year or not? I was hoping for something like 'is.leapyear'. I probably can build my own function (year divisible by 4 etc.) but I would rather use an existing function if it is available. Thank you. Kevin

Why does: (shape/scale) * (1:365/scale)^(shape - 1) return a vector of numbers but calling a function hasard(1:365,shape,scale) defined like: hazard <- function(x,shape,scale) { return (shape/scale) * (x/scale)^(shape - 1) } Only return a single value? It is like x becomes a single value passed as an argument. Thank you. Kevin

For some further information, on compiling with rtools, using the following scripts, https://github.com/r-windows/r-base, I receive a segfault: installing 'sysdata.rda' building package 'compiler' byte-compiling package 'compiler' byte-compiling package 'base' byte-compiling package 'tools' sh: line 3: 3614 Done ( cat

For processing events, RGtk2 has moved away from using the old tcl_do hack and now synchronizes on the Windows event loop. In Rgui.exe this works fine (well mostly), but in Rterm.exe, users report the following warning from GLib: "main loop already active in another thread". The most obvious way this could occur is if the Windows event loop were iterating in multiple threads. This does

I noticed that when I fit a linear model using 'lm' there is an attribute called "factors" that is added to the "term". It doesn't seem to appear for 'model.matrix', just 'lm'. I have been unable to find where it gets constructed or what it means? It looks like a two dimensional array that I may be able to use so I would just like to get some

I had a question about the basic power functions in R. For example from the R console I enter: -1 ^ 2 [1] -1 but also -1^3 [1] -1 -0.1^2 [1] -0.01 Normally pow(-1, 2) return either -Infinity or NaN. Has R taken over the math functions? If so I would think that -1^2 is 1 not -1 and -0.1^2 is 0.01 not -0.01. Thank you. Kevin

Dear r-devel list members, It's been several years since I last built a custom Windows installer for R, and despite my notes and the instructions in Sections 3.1.7 and D.4 of the R Installation and Administration Manual, I've run into a problem, receiving the following error message: ----------- snip ----------- C:\R\src\R-2.11.1\src\gnuwin32\installer>make myR
