similar to: install.packages() for local source file

I realize that others have struggled with this issue...i.e. http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/05/01/9826.html i am on os.x 10.4 w/ R2.2, and am (perhaps foolishly) also on this quest... i would like to be able to install downloaded source (tar.gz'd) files from within an R session, and have it work in a X-platform way..i am often not connected to the internet and have libraries

Hello, when trying to write an R-file, which automatically installs and updates a given list of packages, I had two problems with install.packages() 1) install.packages("<package>") will install <package>, no matter if <package> has already been installed. 2) the readline() at the end of install.packages, which asks the user, if the downloaded files should be

Just got trapped by inconsistency of name of first argument for file-based graphics devices. Both 'file' and 'filename' are currently in use depending on the device.

O/S: Linux R version : 2.2.1 The R server doesn't have http internet access. And the sys admins will not install the R libraries that I requested. So I have downloaded the packages that I want to intall and have moved them into my home directory on the server. These are a series of *.tar.gz files. I want to install the R libraries in my home directory, but I can't get it to work.

Have UI that simplifies running code from another (internal) package, allowing user to set values on fields I basically grabbed from results of calls to formals() for various functions. That works fine for the most part. But it was requested to investigate some type of popup help or something for each field. Since I already wrote the information in the dot-Rd files for what should be displayed,

Hi Everyone, I have a few fairly basic questions about upgrading and installing R packages. First off, I am using Ubuntu Hardy Heron and have R 2.7.1 installed and working perfectly. I usually access R via Emacs ESS interface which I am still trying to get the hang of. My questions and issues are as follows: Question 1: I started R and wanted to upgrade the installed R packages. So, I issue the

Nelson Version: 1.4.1 OS: solaris 2.7 Submission from: (NULL) (128.115.150.74) Putting patterns in .Rbuildignore has no effect when the tar being used is gnu tar (1.13) on solaris 2.7, whilst /usr/sbin/tar works perfectly.

Hello, I have a problem with directories that contain more than 10000 entries (Ubuntu 8.04.1) or with more than 70000 entries (RHEL 5.2). If you use readdir(3) or readdir64(3) you get one entry twice, with same name and inode. Some analyzing showed that disabling dir_index solves this problem, but I think that this is a bug in the ext3 code, as no other file-system shows this behavior.

When trying to update packages after the sysadmin updated R on my unix box I got errors on some packages. For example for chron: * DONE (chron) mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/lib/R/library/00LOCK': Permission denied ERROR: failed to lock directory '/usr/lib/R/library' for modifying I got similar messages for spatial and cluster and warnings for other packages. Finally I got:

Hi, I am trying to compile R-2.2.1 on Solaris 2.9 with a 64-bit build.

Hi, Anyone succeeded in installing Mongrel on Sun Solaris? It looks like the installation is broken. I have started using Mongrel recently and not sure where to look when something is missing.

Hi all, Ruby 1.8.1 Solaris 9 wxwindows 2.4.2 (package from blastwave.org) wxruby 0.3.0 I''m having trouble getting this sucker to build on my Solaris box. Here''s how I''m building: ruby extconf.rb --with-xrc-dir=/opt/csw --with-xrc-include=/opt/csw/lib/wx The include directive I added because the setup.h file is there (for whatever reason). And yes, /opt/csw/bin and

Dear all I can not understand how to install the package lpsolve_1.1.9.zip I have read the FAQ and the help pages carefully, but it still not clear for me.

Dear R users: I am looking for the source code for the R function extractAIC. Type the function name doesn't help: > extractAIC function (fit, scale, k = 2, ...) UseMethod("extractAIC") <environment: namespace:stats> And when I search it in the R source code, the best I can find is in (R source root)/library/stats/R/add.R: extractAIC <- function(fit, scale, k = 2,

We have an R package which needs to include a JAR file. Is there a canonical directory for it?

Dear list, I needed to extract a zip-archive, and found zip.file.extract in utils. My only problem was the use of tempdir(), since I wanted to permanently extract the archive at a fixed location for later use. My own fix was simple, adding an extra parameter zipdir (without default), and within the function change tmpd <- tempdir() to tmpd = ifelse(missing(zipdir),tempdir(),zipdir) This
