[R] Puzzling warning using 2.3.1...
Greetings folks: Stepped away from a win/lin dual boot system and spent the better part of the past week resetting a windows only arrangement. Before the switch I was running 2.3.1 without any strange behaviours. When I reached the point of putting it back on the machine I would get this puzzling warning the first time I would try to select a cran mirror: > chooseCRANmirror() Warning message: DLL attempted to change FPU control word from 8001f to 9001f > When I pulled it off and reinstalled 2.2.1 I got no such warning. Thoughts or suggestions? Could the file have been damaged or corrupted in same way? The Md5sum checked out but I'm not sure how accurate an assessment that is of the file's integrity. Should I just download a new copy and try again with that? Not sure if it's important but I run a Win98se setup. -- Brian Lunergan Nepean, Ontario Canada --- __ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

Thanks for the lead. Reinstalled R outside of 'c:\program files'. Reran the
source through Sweave to generate a new example.tex with the preamble:
\documentclass[letterpaper]{article}
\title{Sweave Example 1}
\author{Friedrich Leisch}
\usepackage{C:/R-2.3.1/share/texmf/Sweave}
\begin{document}
Ran it through Latex and everything is as it should be. Problem solved.

If a package is not on the CRAN master site are you supposed to avoid using it? The FracSim home site indicated that 0.2 was the current version and a google search yielded the site I indicated, among others, as a repository of an apparent windows edition. That it's not on the master is more an issue between the maintainers of the master and the maintainers of the package, not the average end user IMHO. I found a source for what is apparently the current edition. What's wrong with that? With regard to segmented, outdated does not mean unusable unless later editions of R or packages that call it as a dependency use features particular to later editions. If there is a newer windows edition of segmented then please point out a source for it. Regards... -- Brian Lunergan Nepean, Ontario Canada --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.

Something in the finance task view would seem to consider snow a dependency; however, the package in question has dragged it along for the ride into Windows, crippling its usefulness. Problem and a question. Having checked the file on the UofT CRAN mirror that lists dependencies for the available files snow only appears attached to three of them, none of which are listed as part the finance view or anything I already have on my system. What is R seeing these as a dependency for then? Perhaps the view maintainers can suggest something?

Evening folks: I did an install.views of finance and econometrics and between the two of them R reported 'FracSim', 'RDCOMClient', 'snow', 'VGAM', and 'segmented' as missing dependencies. Now, I've managed to hunt down what appear to be current zip file copies of all of the packages but 'snow'.
