similar to: using dvi with latex object: directory not correctly set, maybe due to error in shQuote()

First I tried 'setenv R_SHELL /usr/local/bin/bash', as bash is the weapon of choice for the faculty wishing to use R, then ran ./configure as before. The ./configure output line using as R_SHELL for scripts ... /usr/local/bin/bash would seem to indicate that the R_SHELL environment variable was recognized and acknowledged. However, I got the same build error: gnumake[2]: Entering

Dear R-users, It is my understanding that cat(shQuote(a.string)) should print the origintal a.string. Is this right? I am not sure cat() correctly prints strings which are generated by triple-shQuote(): > shQuote(shQuote("a")) [1] "\"\\\"a\\\"\"" > cat(shQuote(shQuote(shQuote("a"))), '\n')

I'm using R 1.6.1 on Windows 95 with cygwin bash as my shell. The 'shell' command tries to determine which shell the user prefers via the following steps: shell <- Sys.getenv("R_SHELL") if (!nchar(shell)) shell <- Sys.getenv("SHELL") if (!nchar(shell)) shell <- Sys.getenv("COMSPEC") For me, shell

I noticed a shQuote fix for Windows in the svn logs. Just wanted to point out that this will favorably affect texi2dvi on Windows which previously used UNIX quoting and so generated an incorrect Windows command. (Note that texi2dvi is used when creating vignettes.) Another problem is that the recommended tex distribution for Windows, fptex, does not have texi2dvi in the first place. The

Dear all, I'm trying to compile R 2.9.1 on my home directory under debian, and as I need to play with RPy, I tryed compile R using: ./configure --enable-R-shlib But, during the compilation, I get the error below: ------------------------------------- using as R_SHELL for scripts ... /bin/sh configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating Makeconf config.status: creating Makefile

Dear R-experts, I run R in a shell under Emacs on Win2k using ESS.

Warning message: cmd execution failed with error code 1 in: shell("copy c:\\file.txt c:\\newfile.txt") The same problem emerges independently of

I apologize for cross posting this message in the R-help group as well. Having posted it there a couple of hours ago, I felt this may be a more appropriate forum for a question of this type.

Hi, I have a strange behaviour of openBUGS and WinBUGS when I start them from R. Version: R: 2.10.1 openBUGS: 3.07 WinBUGS: 1.43 R2WinBUGS: 2.1-16 BRugs: 0.5-3 I have a model and data without initial start values. If I use the stand alone versions of openBUGS and WinBUGS I don't have any problems and I get what I want. If I use function bugs() from R2WinBUGS- resp. BRugs-Library then

Hello, I am trying to build the R-2.11.1 software for university faculty to use in research projects on a DEC/Compaq/HP AlphaServer model GS160 16CPU/64GB memory running Tru64Unix aka OSF1 version 5.1B-5. Is it known whether it is possible to build the R-2.11.1 software on the platform I am using? In my attempts to build the R-2.11.1 software, I first used the native C and Fortran 77/90/95

R Community, I often am in need of viewing the reference manuals of packages and do not have Internet access. I have used the code: path <- find.package('tm') system(paste(shQuote(file.path(R.home("bin"), "R")),"CMD", "Rd2pdf",shQuote(path))) someone kindly provided from this help list to generate the manuals from the latex files. This

Hi there, I got a question regarding compiling the icecast2-server: When I'm executing the 'sh autogen.sh' command and is checking for libraries, it says that it didn't find the 'libcurl' library, although I have the curl-rpm installed that includes the libcurl (located in /usr/lib). I compiled icecast2 anyway and tried running it. If I try to get the status.xsl

Hello, I wanted to ask help about importing sas datasets. 1)I tried with some functions as read.ssd (foreign package), but it doesn't import the file if the length of the variables' names are longer than 8 bite (it has to conform to the 6 version). 2)I then tried with the sas.get function (Hmisc package) but with the command: c<- sas.get(lib="c:\\ghan",

Current R release (3.5.2) and devel return a 0 exit status on error, while prior versions returned a non-zero exit status. On Linux and MacOs, the following line returns TRUE for R-3.5.2 and R-devel, and FALSE for R-3.5.1 and R-3.5.0: system2("Rscript", c("-e", shQuote("stop('foo')"))) == 0 I didn't find this in the NEWS, so I believe this is a bug.

Hi again! While investigating the bug report [*] I found out that on unix, system2 does not quote its `stdin` argument while preparing the command line to launch. It does shQuote the `stdout` and `stderr` arguments, and also the `f <- tmpfile()` variable (which is used if `input` argument is provided), which seems to set a precedent. On Windows, stdin, stdout, and stderr are handled

Hi, I don't know if I am the first one to report the problem: in 2.8.0 dev2bitmap gained aa support, but "extra" is null if neither taa nor naa is specified. > dev2bitmap("plot.pdf",type="pdfwrite") Error in paste(shQuote(gsexe), " -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -q -sDEVICE=", type, : object "extra" not found >

Thomas, As F Harrel in a preceding message told me that you are the maintainer of Hmisc package, I write directly to you, with copy to the Rhelp list in case someone encountered the same problem and find some benefit in the response. I used quite often the function sas.get in Hmisc library which I is very, very useful. But, as trying to reuse it today it seems not to function anymore. I tried
