[Rd] help.search() in html?

2012-02-15 Thread hkawakat
Hi,

I have options(help_type=html) in my .Rprofile and when I type
?foo, the man page appears as a new tab in my web browser (which is
already running). Fine. However, when I type ??foo, rather than the
results appearing in a new tab, a new instance of the web browser is
spawned with the default homepage displayed. Same with
help.search(foo). Am I the only one seeing this? Is there some
setting/option that I am missing?
(At the moment, I bring up a man page via ?foo and then manually
follow the Index link at the bottom of the page to go up to the
search engine page.) R --vanilla shows the results of ??foo in the
terminal window as expected.

I am running

Have you considered simply writing the XML using standard functions

There hasn't been much hydrologic discussion, as you noted,

[Rd] R CMD SHLIB in Windows XP - No output at all

2012-02-15 Thread Lorenzo
Hello all,

I'm trying hard to make R CMD SHLIB work on Windows XP (32-bit) - please
note that I don't have the admin rights on the computer.
In terms of setup, I have followed the procedure :
= installed Rtools 2.14
= changed my path :
PATH=C:\Trading\R\RTools\bin;C:\Trading\R\RTools\MinGW\bin;C:\Trading\R\R-2.14.1\bin\i386;C:\WINDOWS\system32;%OTHER_PATHS%

But when I try R CMD SHLIB *.* I have litterally nothing, no output at all.
(and R CMD INSTALL debug tells me, of course that the operation failed while
calling R CMD SHLIB)
I tried the command R CMD SHLIB -n, which gives me : 
make -f C:/Trading/R/R-2.14.1/etc/i386/Makeconf -f
C:/Trading/R/R-2.14.1/share/make/winshlib.mk SHLIB= OBJECTS= 

So I had a closer look at these two files, and found some strange things in
Makeconf, for example a variable LOCAL_SOFT with a d: path which has nothing
to do with my configuration :
LOCAL_SOFT = d:/RCompile/CRANpkg/extralibs/local

Ok, the thing is, my Makeconf is strange, but when I actually use the 
 make -f C:/Trading/R/R-2.14.1/etc/i386/Makeconf -f
C:/Trading/R/R-2.14.1/share/make/winshlib.mk SHLIB= OBJECTS=   
directly in the command prompt, it works more or less.
I managed to build a simple dll based on C code (convolve2.dll, from the
example), but couldn't build any dll based on c++ code.

Is my SHLIB properly set up ? Why do I have a strange Makeconf ? Should I
try to find a proper version of the file ? or reinstall R ?

Does anyone have any idea how to fix that ?
Been trying to fix it for a long time now !

Thanks in advance !

Lorenzo

Re: [Rd] requesting a new SIG mailing list

2012-02-15 Thread Dominik Reusser
Dear all,
I do think that joining efforts is a good idea. However, hydrologists will 
probably not intuitively think about joining r-sig-ecology to discuss 
hydrological issues. Could we therefore explicitely state on the infopage that 
discussions to hydrology (in addition to general  environmental data) are also 
welcome.

I don't think it is worth it, but probably the appropriate name would then be 
r-sig-env for such a list? In the description, you are also refering to the 
Environmetrics task list.

I'm wondering where we can make people aware of the fact, that hydrological 
issues are discussed on r-sig-ecology. I'm going to ask Gavin Simpson to put 
references to the list on the environmetrics task view if you agree that this 
would be useful. Also, we can announce the mailing list during our R-short 
course on hydrology at EGU. What else?

Best regards!

It would be great if Sara of someone of the maintainers of the

I think that r-sig-env would be much more intuitive for environmental

it is possible to change the name of an existing mailing list.


However, I'm wondering if it would be possible to create an alias termed

I think it would be very useful to make more general the description of 
the r-sig-ecology in the R mailing list page 
(http://www.r-project.org/mail.html), something like:


R-sig-ecology: Using R in environmental and ecological data analysis


Also, we can announce the mailing list during our R-short

[Rd] executable files R package

2012-02-15 Thread sahir bhatnagar
I am in the process of creating a package in R which calls
pre-compiled C code i.e. '.exe' files in Windows.

Since CRAN will not accept packages with binary code files, what are
my options to meet the requirements while still including the
executable file?

I read section 1.5.2 of the manual which mentions three options two of
which involve negotiating with CRAN administrators. The third
references the package Cairo which arranges to download additional
software, but I don't see how this will allow my package to get
accepted.

It would seem that I need to ensure that my package works under both
architectures (32 and 64 bit).

1) Would this be sufficient to get it accepted?
2) If so, does anyone have any documentation in performing this task,
or can someone point me in the right direction?

I was told that 'arulesSequences' is an example of a CRAN package
while compiles executables. Was this package accepted because it
worked under both architectures? or are there other reasons.

thanks

Have a look at the countless examples and hundreds of unit tests in the Rcpp
package.  Almost all of them work by using the inline package to compile,
link and load shared libraries on the fly.

And yes, it all works fine on Windows XP.  [ We do here that people on
Windows 7 have to fight with security and admin settings though. ]

You merely need to install Rtools right and get your PATH settings sorted
out.  This is documented in numerous places.

I think you should ask the CRAN administrators that, but my 
understanding is that they are unlikely to accept your package as 
described.  CRAN is interested in platform-neutral packages, and if you 
have an .exe, you're going to be Windows-only.


If you include the source code for that .exe and put together the 
Makefile to compile it, then they'd be more receptive, and someone might 
offer help to get it to run on other platforms if it doesn't on your 
first attempt.


If you don't want to include the .exe source (or can't), I think you 
should just publish it on your own web page.

Makeconf, for example a variable LOCAL_SOFT with a d: path which has nothing
to do with my configuration :
LOCAL_SOFT = d:/RCompile/CRANpkg/extralibs/local


That's a path on the machine which builds the R binary distributions.  
It shouldn't have leaked out, but it should be harmless.


I think the problem might be with the *.*.  On a Unix system, the 
shell expands wildcards, but on Windows, the individual commands are 
supposed to do it.  But our commands generally follow the Unix 
conventions, so perhaps nobody is expanding that, and nothing is being 
requested.  (When I try it in R-patched, it works.  But I'm not using 
that version of Rtools, and you don't say what version of R you're using.)


If you use a bash shell (e.g. from Cygwin) then it will follow the Unix 
convention, and that will probably work.  That's what I normally do.


Alternatively, you can just list the files that you want to compile.  If 
it's a long list, I think there are Windows ways to put the whole list 
into a shell variable and put the shell variable on that line, but I 
forget what they are.  I would certainly try that for debugging purposes.


Duncan Murdoch


Ok, the thing is, my Makeconf is strange, but when I actually use the
 make -f C:/Trading/R/R-2.14.1/etc/i386/Makeconf -f
C:/Trading/R/R-2.14.1/share/make/winshlib.mk SHLIB= OBJECTS=  
directly in the command prompt, it works more or less.
I managed to build a simple dll based on C code (convolve2.dll, from the
example), but couldn't build any dll based on c++ code.

Is my SHLIB properly set up ? Why do I have a strange Makeconf ? Should I
try to find a proper version of the file ? or reinstall R ?

Does anyone have any idea how to fix that ?
Been trying to fix it for a long time now !

Thanks in advance !

Lorenzo

Re: [Rd] which R package is used for browsing web pages through coding

2012-02-15 Thread Jeffrey Ryan
Probably not R-devel, more likely R-help or google.

Why not just use the 6+ solutions you have outlined and use R for what
R is good at?

Re: [Rd] requesting a new SIG mailing list

2012-02-15 Thread Sarah Goslee
Hi all,

 It would be great if Sara of someone of the maintainers of the r-sig-ecology
 list could add that info to the info page.

I'm talking with the other maintainer about revising both the short and
the long descriptions.

 I think that r-sig-env would be much more intuitive for environmental
 scientists coming from fields different from ecology, but I don't think it
 is possible to change the name of an existing mailing list.

 However, I'm wondering if it would be possible to create an alias termed
 'r-sig-env' to 'r-sig-ecology' ?, in order to make the name of the list more
 intuitive for environmental scientists but without disturbing the current
 users.

I don't know that there is any mechanism for doing either of those things.
Changing the name would be disruptive, and I don't know of an alias
option. I think ecology is a more inclusive term than environmental anyway,
but then I'm an ecologist.

Sarah

SPSS value labels are just labels, so they don't map very well onto R

I could imagine that users might appreciate the possibility of getting

separate function that made a best guess at what was needed but did  
not try to unambiguously match up variables with factor levels for all  
variables. For big datasets, there might be only a few edits needed to  
throw out duplicates and save a lot of typing errors.

Re: [Rd] R CMD SHLIB in Windows XP - No output at all

2012-02-15 Thread Lorenzo
Hi Duncan,

Thanks for your help, I am actually using R Windows version 2.14.1 (22th Dec
2011).

Actually by R CMD SHLIB *.* I actually meant putting any file name after
the R CMD SHLIB (R CMD SHLIB convolve.c for example).
Another case which fails is : creating a Rcpp Armadillo package skeleton
(named MyPackage for example) and trying the R CMD INSTALL MyPackage. Fails
as well on the R CMD SHLIB line.

What I actually don't understand is how the R CMD SHLIB command links to the
RTools cygwin and mingw.
It really looks like the make function works in my command line when I use
it directly but the link between R CMD SHLIB and cygwin fails...

Hi all,

Thanks a LOT for your help.

My issue actually came from the fact that my Renviron.site file was
modifying the path variable (I though windows path and R path were different
so hardcoded a path in Renviron.
Because of this, the command in R tool::.SHLIB() was crashing R without
any error message.

I can finally use Rcpp and RcppArmadillo, love it !

Best,
