When I create a manual for a package that I create and use locally, e.g. via R CMD Rd2dvi --pdf foo where ``foo'' is the name of the directory containing the source for the package (also named ``foo'') the resulting manual does not appear to have an index. The package.pdf files appearing on CRAN all seem to have indices. What must I do to get an index appended to the

I construct a pdf package manual in Windows 7 using R CMD Rd2dvi --pdf --no-preview [packagename] Page numbers are listed correctly under 'R topics documented' at the front, but incorrectly (offset by -2 pages) in the Index at the back. Following the hyperlinked page numbers in the Index takes you to the wrong page. 2 pages happens to be the length of the package overview man page inserted

Dear R-help readers, In R 1.8.1 it was easy to print the documentation for recommended packages: go to the full reference manual (refman.pdf) and print the relevant pages, which were contiguous. With R 1.9.0 some of those packages (e.g. "ts") have become part of the "stats" package, and hence their documentation is scattered throughout that of the other component packages of

If I execute R CMD Rd2dvi foo.Rd I get messages of the form: Converting Rd files to LaTeX ... foo.Rd Creating dvi output from LaTeX ... Saving output to 'foo.dvi' ... cp: .Rd2dvi4366/Rd2.dvi: No such file or directory Done xdvi-xaw: Fatal error: foo.dvi: No such file. Indeed if I add the --no-clean flag and then cd to the .Rd2dvi<whatever> directory, I find that there is no

hi, can anyone confirm the following problem? when i do dos> rcmd rd2dvi --pdf my-package-name i get dos> Can't open perl script "c:\PROGRA~1\r\rw1091/bin/rd2dvi": No such file or directory might the problem be in (double back slashes rather than forward slashes) R-1.9.1\src\gnuwin32\front-ends\rcmdfn.c(251): strcat(cmd, RHome); strcat(cmd, "/bin/Rd2dvi.sh");

I'd like to make MikTeX the default TeX package in 2.2.0, but we still need to let people use other packages. The problem is that MikTeX wants a command line option --include-directory $R_HOME/share/texmf, while other packages specify includes via environment variables, and barf when they see the unexpected option. The choice should be controlled by the user's settings in the MkRules

Hi, I run R 2.5.1 on Mac OS 10.4.10 and fail to build a package manual. Below is the transcript. The problem is a "pdflatex: command not found" error but I think that I have a fully working latex install (installed with iInstaller) as I use TeXShop with no problem. Could someone help?

Hello, I apologize that I am cross posting here after getting no answer from my initial question on stack overflow <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33492601/r-setoldclass-only-if-needed>. I should certainly have posted it first here.. I am using 3 packages: - xts - quantmod - 'myPackage' quantmod is creating a union class by doing: setOldClass("xts");

Hello, I'm trying to get S4 dispatch on S3 "connection" objects. So I do : setOldClass( "connection" ) and then : setGeneric( "bling", function(object) standardGeneric( "bling" ) ) setMethod( "bling", "connection", function(object) cat( "gotcha ", as.integer(object), "\n" ) ) but I get : f <- file(

Dear Michael, my package has setOldClass("inla") and the NAMESPACE contains exportClasses(inla) and importFrom(INLA, inla.posterior.sample) the old version of INLA uses the S3 class "inla" but does not export it. the new version of INLA has setOldClass("inla") and the NAMESPACE contains exportClasses(inla) installing my package in combination with an older INLA

Dear Prof. Ripley, thks for your response and no, I have not looked at 2.0.0 beta version; blame on me, but I could not spare time by now for doing so; instead I looked at: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/fullrefman.pdf as well as on my local one in: 'rw1091/doc/manual/refman.pdf'. Hopefully this clarified things; thks for taking your time and patience. Best, Bernhard >

I just installed R-1.7.0 on Darwin 6.6 (a.k.a. MacOS 10.2.6). 'make' and 'make check' run without any problems. 'make info' builds with no complaints, but 'make dvi' and 'make pdf' fail. I get refman.dvi and refman.pdf OK (with some warnings from pdftex that some names are referenced that do not exist), but R-FAQ.{dvi,pdf} fails as shown below. Attempts

I am trying to compile the R-dev sources on WinXP using mingw 3.1.0-1 and fpTeX 0.7. In the past I have been able to build the sources fine but now I receive an error in the process that I havent seen reported on the list before. Everything works fine until I get to 'make docs'. I now get the message below while building the R-admin manual (refman.pdf builds fine) and the make process

Hello, I am the maintainer of the stringkernels package and have come across a problem with using S3 objects in my S4 classes. Specifically, I have an S4 class with a slot that takes a text corpus as a list of character vectors. tm (version 0.5) saves corpora as lists with a class attribute of c("VCorpus", "Corpus", "list"). I don't actually need the

Dear all, Today I got this error message (R 3.6.1) when installing my package: Error: package or namespace load failed for ?inlatools? in namespaceExport(ns, exports): undefined exports: .__C__inla My package was using setOldClass("inla") and exported the "inla" class via the NAMESPACE. It imports functions from the INLA package. Older versions of the INLA package did not

Is there any way of getting just the LaTex output which R CMD Rd2dvi generates on the way to produces a .dvi file, which could then be incoorporated into another document?

Hi When preparing documentation using Rd2dvi sometimes we get "overflow" on some lines. The consequence is that in the documentation there are some lines where words are not hyphenated or moved. The final document has some lines with more columns than the rest of the text. This happens when we use \code{} (which probably calls the \tt in latex). I've been checking the documentation

Hi, I run into a problem with "R CMD Rd2dvi" command: it gives me "File `Rd.sty' not found" error (See the output message on the bottom). I get the same error when running "RCMD check". My system is: Windows 2000, R version 2.0.1, MiKTeX version 2.4. I do have a Rd.sty file in R_HOME/share/texm directory. I looked through newsgroups for any related discussions

Full_Name: Ole Christensen Version: 1.3.0 OS: Solaris Submission from: (NULL) (130.225.48.2) I have discovered a problem with script Rd2dvi for R-1.3.0 on our Solaris machines. When writing R CMD Rd2dvi Name_of_Package, then things go wrong with the conversion to Latex of the DESCRIPTION file in the package. Having discussed the problem with our system administrator, he constructed a script

Hi, I noticed that the R reference manual seems to be missing the license permissions on the copyright page. Below is a patch to "refman.top" which adds the same permissions as the @permission{} macro in "R-defs.texi". I'm filing this bug as I have been preparing to publish the R Reference Manual (in several volumes). I plan to donate 5 EUR to the R-foundation for each
