[R] Installing the Rstem package

2009-03-05 Thread Maria I. Tchalakova
Hello,

I am trying to install the Rstem package, but I have problems. I am
using Windows XP and the 2.8.1 version of R. I have read the "Add-on
packages" chapter of the "R Installation and Administration" manual,
and also have tried several things, which worked for other people on
the mailing list having faced the same problem
(http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/06/03/22889.html).

I paste below the things, which I have tried and the results. I don't
understand what the message "installation of package 'Rstem' had
non-zero exit status" mean, which I get on my last try below. Could
anyone advise me what should I do? Thank you.

p.s. I have successfully installed the lsa package, which depends on
the Rstem package.

Re: [R] Installing the Rstem package

2009-03-05 Thread Maria I. Tchalakova
Hello,

thanks a lot for the replies. I've installed the binary for R-2.8.x
available at:
http://www.statistik.uni-dortmund.de/~ligges/Rstem_0.3-1.zip

However, when I try using some of the functions, such as
getStemLanguages() or wordStem(), I get:

> getStemLanguages()
Error: could not find function "getStemLanguages"

or

> words = c("sing", "singing", "singer")
> wordStem(words, language = "english")
Error: could not find function "wordStem"

Why do I get this? Haven't I installed the package correctly? I've
done this using the R Gui: "Packages" --> "Install package(s) from
local zip files ...", have chosen the .zip file, which I've downloaded
from the URL you sent me, and I got:

> utils:::menuInstallLocal()
package 'Rstem' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
updating HTML package descriptions

Do I need to do something else? I receive the same results after
installing (in this way) the the binary for R-2.7.x.

I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you mean by "CRAN extras". I have
googled and found this page with binaries checks for Windows, but
there is no Rstem package there, and it is just a "check" (no files
which I could download):
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/checkSummaryWin.html

[R] installing and loading packages

2009-03-20 Thread Maria I. Tchalakova
Hello,

is it possible to make so that once I have installed and loaded the
necessary packages in R, I don't need to install and load them for a
new session in R?
Up to now I install packages, for example, like this:

install.packages("package_name")

and then load them like this:

library("package_name")

When I exit R and then run it again, I need to install and load the
packages using again the above commands, so that I can use them. (I
save the workspace before I exit, but this doesn't help).
Thank you.

[R] R interpreter not recognized

2009-04-09 Thread Maria I. Tchalakova
Hello,

I am trying to install a program based on R, but I am receiving the
following error message:
r...@darkstar:/home/maria/UCS# perl System/Install.perl
Error: Can't run the R interpreter (/usr/local/bin/R).
Please make sure that R is installed and specify the fully qualified
filename of the R interpreter with -R if necessary (see "doc/install.txt").

I do have installed R, and I can see it (it is working also fine when I use it):
> which R
> /usr/local/bin/R
I have specified the location of the R interpreter with -R (or -rh)
/usr/local/bin/R" when running the program, but it still doesn't work.
I have also used -R /usr/local/lib/R/bin/R or -rh
/usr/local/lib/R/bin/R.
I have also added the locations to my search path.

It seems that the problem comes from my environment, but I cannot
figure out what's wrong. Do you have any clues why the interpreter
cannot be found?
Thank you.

[R] Installing R on Ubuntu 8.10

2009-05-16 Thread Maria I. Tchalakova
Hi,

I am trying to install R on Ubuntu 8.10. I have added this line:

deb http://cran.at.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu intrepid/

in my /etc/apt/sources.list file. However when I "Reload", I get the
following error message:
W: GPG error: http://cran.at.r-project.org intrepid/ Release: The
following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is
not available: NO_PUBKEY D67FC6EAE2A11821

I have tried different mirror sites, but the result is the same. There
is nothing written about public keys on the download page:
http://cran.at.r-project.org/

Then, I have tried (after I added the line to the
/etc/apt/sources/list file) not pressing "Reload", but "Close", and I
have written in the console:
sudo apt-get update

but I received similar message again:

Reading package lists... Done
W: GPG error: http://cran.rakanu.com intrepid/ Release: The following
signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not
available: NO_PUBKEY D67FC6EAE2A11821
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

Do you know what the problem is, and what should I do? Thanks in advance.

Maria

Hi Dan,

thanks for the reply. Yes, I have read everything there, but it didn't
help. I've written to the Ubuntu forums as well, from where I was told
to type first:

> gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv D67FC6EAE2A11821
> gpg --export --armor D67FC6EAE2A11821 | sudo apt-key add -

before
> sudo apt-get update
> sudo apt-get install r-base

and it worked.

Best,
Maria
