As the title suggests, when building R packages on Windows, what is the difference between: R CMD build --binary mypack And R CMD INSTALL --build mypack ?? The former is suggested by my previous notes and seems to work, and the latter is suggested by http://www.biostat.jhsph.edu/~kbroman/Rintro/Rwinpack.html, and also seems to work. Thanks in advance Mick

Is there a repository from which I can install a recent version of ess as a Debian/Ubuntu package for amd_64? On the Ubuntu list of packages the released version of ess for hardy is 5.3.0-1 which seems, well, ancient. I see that there is a 5.3.8 version from the SVN sources for intrepid but IIRC trying to install that bring you into all the fun with pinning, etc. It seems there is a binary

Hi all, I am trying to re-compile some "unmaintained" (it seems) packages, namely rSoNIA and dynamicnetwork from: http://csde.washington.edu/~skyebend/rsonia/rsoniaDemo/ These packages predates R 2.10.0 so they need to be recompile. After split the single big file in /man in each packages into a file for each function + some minor fix, I successfully manage to recompile and load

I found the following document on making R packages. But it is old. I'm wondering if there is more current ones and hopefully more complete ones. http://biosun1.harvard.edu/courses/individual/bio271/lectures/L6/Rpkg.pdf

Hi all, I'm using windowsXP and R 2.10.0. I downloaded "randomForest 4.5-33.tar.gz" from its archive, but how do I make it into a installation ZIP file? Thanks, Ted

Hi Everyone, I am a beginner running R 2.9.2 under Ubuntu and typically use Emacs w/ESS. However, I am confused with history() command. When I issue command history() in Emacs within an R session, this is what get: > history() Error in savehistory(file) : no history available to save Similarly, history(max=10) command gives the same error message. However, there is this In/Out Menu in the

Hi all, I don't know if this is the proper place to ask this, but I am trying to configure emacs/ess on Ubuntu 8.04 to run the way described for ESS and Xemacs in Windows (John Fox's guide). I installed ess as directed at http://ess.r-project.org/Manual/ . Under Windows I could use Emacs/ess fine (but I am obviously a novice at emacs), but am having trouble doing so in Ubuntu. At

Hi I heard so much about Emacs and ESS that I decided to try it out - but I am stuck at the beginning. Is there anywhere a beginners manual for Emacs & ESS to be used with R? even M-x S tells me it can't start S-Plus - obviously - but I want it to start R... Any help welcome (otherwise I will be stuck with Eclipse and R) Rainer -- Rainer M. Krug, Dipl. Phys. (Germany), MSc

Hi R Gurus! I have 2 questions, please: a. I'm putting together a little baby package on SUSE Linux 10.1. I want to create a zip of the package for windows. How should I create that please? b. I don't know if the following is possible but here it is: I have R and a bunch of libraries set up very nicely. I would like to hand off this setup to someone else. Should I just copy

Hi, I decided to try emacs and ess with R, but to no avail. How are these things suppose to work with R - or work, period? I downloaded the latest windows versions of each and installed them as the documentation says. But then the documentation for ess says to add (require 'ess-site) to /.emacs and restart emacs. Where is /.emacs???? I opened the ess-site.el file and it also says to

Dear R-help, Apologies if this isn't exactly the right place for this question. I am trying to run R in emacs using ESS. I have done this successfully many times - it works right now on my home computer in windows 7 and in ubuntu. The problem is that when I start emacs the regular splash screen doesn't show. In the mini-buffer I get the message "Finding all versions of R on your

Hi all, I want to apologise first for being a beginner with linux/emacs/ess; I am pretty good with R ;). I have R-1.9.1 installed on my directory of a linux server, I also have ess 5.2.8 installed there as well. When I call R using (C-u M-x R) in emacs, i receive the following error [no match]. I was wondering if emacs is not looking for ess in the right place (if there is something i have to

hi folks, i use ESS mode in emacs often to interact with R, and while i know how to save a session transcript, i'm wondering how to save just the history of the commands (i.e. identically to how R gives the history save option from its native CLI). if you use ESS with an R process, commands entered from a separate buffer and sent to the process do not get registered with the R history, and

I have been using the document written by John Fox titled Sn Introduction to ESS + XEmacs for Windows Users of R. It's a very nice document and I went through it carefully but I got an error when I finished it and launched XEmacs. The error is "cannot open load file : ess-site". So, I did more investigation and it seems like there is a folder Program

I am running ess/emacs on Linux and have an R instance running on a remote Unix server. I would like to be able to direct input from my ess buffer to R (hope I am using the right lingo, I am new to emacs). The ess manual contains a section describing how to do just that, but a prerequisite is to install a lisp file ssh.el , which can be found at

I'm trying to get R, Sweave, ESS and XEmacs or emacs all installed and working together on my Windows XP Pro system. I've got R 2.6.0 working just fine, installed from the R Windows installer. I also have CYGWIN_NT-5.1 with XEmacs 21.4 working okay. Can anyone point me to any documentation on how to bring these together so that R code typed in Xemacs can be run in R? I found the ESS

I'm moving my R applications to a Redhat OS and want to install ESS. My sys admin has downloaded the rpm (emacs-common-ess-5.3.8-1.fc8.src.rpm), but when he tried to do the install he rec'd a number of warnings. We are not sure if the warnings are telling us that the installation did not occur or if other issues are unresolved. We have attempted to find the ESS executable with no luck,

Fedora Linux 8 R 2.6.1 Intel CPU I am trying to get started with R under Linux. It has been suggested to me that I run R under EMACS. I have looked at the CRAN website, and several other places to try to find an RPM for EMACS and, if I need it for ESS. I have not succeeded in finding one. Can someone tell me where to go to get the RPMs? If anyone would have a suggestion for an editor other than

Hello all, since we're on the topic of R-editors. I am using emacs/ess on a unix workstation (to interact with R and have been having a little problem. I usually write the R commands I need to run in a separate buffer then copy and paste them into the *R* buffer for evaluation. The problem is, if any command is spread over multiple lines emacs/R hangs when I paste it in the R buffer for
