[R] car package dependencies

2003-06-12 Thread Martin Wegmann
Hello, 

I tried to install the car package but I can't solve the dependencies. car 
needs grid, lattice and dr but when I try to install grid I get this error 
prompt:

wz3x64:/home/oggi/R/software/contrib # rpm -i R-car-1.0.R3-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
R-grid is needed by R-car-1.0.R3-1
R-lattice is needed by R-car-1.0.R3-1
wz3x64:/home/oggi/R/software/contrib # rpm -i R-grid-0.7.R4-1.i386.rpm
file /usr/lib/R/library/grid/DESCRIPTION from install of R-grid-0.7.R4-1 
conflicts with file from package R-base-1.7.0-1
wz3x64:/home/oggi/R/software/contrib # rpm -i R-lattice-0.7.R11-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
R-grid is needed by R-lattice-0.7.R11-1
wz3x64:/home/oggi/R/software/contrib #

how do I solve this problem? thanks in advance, cheers Martin

Why would you want to use rpm? 

See ?install.packages

and (at least) pages 7-8 of R Installation and
Administration

Hello, 


 Which system are we talking about?? Linux, obviously, but which
 distribution packages things up like that?

I am using Suse 8.1, R 1.7.0 (-grid  lattice included)

 I would suspect that you have some
 sort of version skew and that your car/grid/lattice RPMs relate to an
 older version of R (or the person who built the RPMs failed to notice
 the dependency changes).

can I change the 'car' dependencies/relation to the older R version myself 
without any deep programming knowledge?

Or is there any other packages with a box cox transformation or a similar 
normalization transformation ?

thanks Martin

 See ?install.packages


that does not need to work. `install.packages' in a pre-compiled
distribution of R (for Unix) cannot safely assume that compilers /
translators / linkers / shared libraries needed for building a
package are available (at runtime) in the places determined at
compile time. Missing `f2c' or `-lreadline' produce a lot of cannot
install package xyz threads on this list...

What about a Unix system without a compiler? ;)
With less than 50Mb of usefull software, you can compile and gain more 
performance than generic bin for your own stats. 

Look at:
install.packages- es. install.packages(Rcmdr)
update.packages()   - es. update.packages()
library()   - es. library(car), library(lattice)

You could try installing the RPM ignoring dependencies (--force or
--nodeps or thereabouts) or maybe more obviously: install from the
source package with install.packages() (over the net) or  R CMD
INSTALL car_x.y-z.tar.gz.

 Thanks, 
 
 rpm -i --nodeps R-car-. worked. 
 
 only as info, Install.packages(car) didn't work - no packages called car were 

install.packages(car)!

 found - do I have to typ the name in differently? but anyway box.cox in car 
 is working 
 thanks all for their help, cheers Martin

There is of course boxcox in MASS, which you do have.
