Had some packages fail install so I updated to today's R-beta release. On updating packages the following packages still fail. sessionInfo follows. Mark Warning messages: 1: In install.packages(update[instlib == l, "Package"], l, contriburl = contriburl, : installation of package 'MANOR' had non-zero exit status 2: In install.packages(update[instlib == l,

Has anyone figured out how to create a destructor in R.oo? How I'd like to use it: I have an object which opens a connection thru RODBC (held as a private member) It would be nice if the connection closes automatically (inside the destructor) when an object gets gc()'ed. Thanks in advance. Regards, Ken BTW, a >BIG< thanks to Henrik Bengtsson for creating the R.oo package! Lucky

I just downloaded R-devel and when loaded it immediately segfaults. I'm not sure how much or what sort of diagnostic info and can provide, but below is my build script, my console output, and the output of uname -r. I am currently dependent on the development version of a package, so I'd like to get R-devel up and running if possible. I am sure there is more info I can provide, but before

Greetings, Have been looking at the specs of Boston Venom T4000. Boston Venom T4000 http://www.bostonindia.in/products/bos-t4000.aspx I could not figure out the lowest base price points, HA features and KVM support Yet to work out the storage part of say 8TB storage (with HA features, of course) for this beast. and accessability issues from devices. I am in the middle of trying to find out

Recently I posted to this list with a question about using the Intel 10.1 compilers in building R and one response was basically, "why in the heck would you want to do that?" The answer is that my sysadmin believes that there will be a performance boost with the Intel vs. Gnu compilers on our Linux cluster, of which I am one of many users. Wanting to be a good citizen and use my machine

I can compile RSPython without difficulty, been when I try to load it, I get the error messages below. Also below are some cryptic warnings I get on R boot (in case these are pertinent) and my sessionInfo(). Any help is appreciated.

Hi, We are trying to setup XEN testbed on Thamesblue supercomputer which has IBM JS2X blade servers. I know that XEN 3.2 was the last release which supports PowerPC. We want to give it a try now. We are running SLES 10.2 and Gentoo on these blades. Can anyone please tell me which Pv_ops kernel should I use for setting up XEN 3.2 on powerpc? Thanks. Best Regards, Hassan

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 having trouble with a Bioconductor package, an variable expected in an environment does not seem to be there. As part of my investigation of the problem (most likely on my end) I'd like to list the variables contained in an environment. If you have an environment loaded, lets call it "pkgEnv', how does one find what it does contain? Mark

Hi, We are trying to set up XEN testbed on Thamesblue Supercomputer which has IBM JS20 Blades. I compiled the SLOF firmware from the source on one of the blade. The compilation went smooth and generated the following binaries *boot_rom.bin boot_rom_bimini.bin* When we try to flash boot_rom.bin firmware binary then we get the following error: * update_flash: RTAS: validate() Invalid candidate

I have a very long list of strings. Each string actually contains multiple values separated by a semi-colon. I need to turn each string into a vector of the values delimited by the semi-colons. I know I can do this very laboriously by using loops, nchar, and substr, but it is terribly slow. Is there a basic R function that handles this situation? If not, is there perhaps a faster way to do it than

I have 3 years of experience with R and have an interest in becoming a better programmer so that I might someday be able to contribute packages. Other than R, my only experience was taking Lisp from Daniel Friedman in the 1970's. I would like to learn either C or C++ for several reasons: To gain a better concept of object oriented programming so that I can begin to use S4 methods in R. To

You asked the same question on the Bioconductor mailing list back in August. At that time, you suggested yourself a solution for how the adjusted p-values should be interpreted. I answered your query and told you that your interpretation was correct. So I'm not sure what more can be said, except that you should read the article Wright (1992), which is cited in the help entry for p.adjust(),

I have identical R.profiles and R_HOME directories set up on both my local machine and a remote linux cluster. To keep my libraries and R install separate, I use a site-library on both machines. The first line of my .Rprofile is: '.libPaths(new= "~/R_HOME/site-library") #tell R where site-library is' Until R-2.6.0 this was working fine on both machines, but since I have been

Dear all, I am managing a departmental purchase of an Opteron based workstation/server for scientific computing on which we will be running R. The environment will probably be either Unix/Linux or Solaris and the amount of RAM will be 8-16Gb, depending on the number of processors. My main concerns are the following: 1. How much does R benefit from passing from one processor to two/four
