Re: [R-SIG-Mac] [R] R and Java 10 ➜ rJava not able to build

I am not a Mac user, but I do use Linux and I would recommend not running R with sudo unless you are an admin ninja. That defensive practice would render the answer to your question moot. It is possible that your problem may have started with inappropriate use of sudo in configuring java, but

If your goal is to interoperate with Python (esp. when using numpy and friends) then Anaconda is actually a good option... just learn how activate a conda environment before doing anything within that ecosystem and remember that each conda environment you create will be independent of all

"Permission denied" suggests that this is not related to R. Perhaps you ran R with elevated permissions yesterday? On December 25, 2019 8:37:36 AM PST, Spencer Graves wrote: >Hello, All: > > >   I just upgraded to R 3.6.2 and suddenly got, "cannot open >compressed file" with "R CMD build"

2020-06-06 Thread Jeff Newmiller
AFAIK tgz is one possible file name extension equivalent to .tar.gz, which implies gzip compression, so I think Bob was just being a bit sloppy when he wrote tar.tgz. Key point is not that a particular compression makes a difference, but that the check needs to be run on a source archive

Also, symlinking an X.Y R version package library to any other major-minor version is never supported (even if it sometimes works). Re-install your packages when the minor version Y increments. On June 8, 2021 5:07:28 PM PDT, Simon Urbanek wrote: > >You seem to have entirely non-standard

There are many of these. Some of these "solutions" copy the actual installed packages and then run "update.packages"... which is a very bad idea. Other solutions identify the names of the packages and install fresh (good idea) but they will hiccup when you install from non-standard sources. So

Even better is to learn one of the many ways to start R in a working directory of your choice, so you don't have to mix code and data from different projects together in one directory just because that happens to be where your default R icon sets it up. Some ways: a) Use Terminal and the cd

Operating systems are designed to be as backward-compatible as possible... R Core doesn't generally know what distinguishing features will identify a new OS until it is released, nor what it will be called, so R has a handicap. On February 11, 2023 1:12:42 PM PST, Christofer Bogaso wrote:
