[Rd] make check failure: lapack.Rout.fail

2007-02-14 Thread Armstrong, Whit
I see that the comment in the lapack test indicates that developers are aware of this issue. Are there any known fixes to this problem? compiler flags, etc. an upgrade to a more recent gcc is not an option for me. this occurred while doing make check-all on R-patched_2007-02-11.tar.gz with

Re: [Rd] xlsReadWrite Pro and embedding objects and files in Excel worksheets

you can also use my package which uses Jakarta POI to write the excel files. It can be used on any platform that supports java. The Perl solution may be better if you want to do anything complicated, but this package supports writing all basic R objects. http://code.google.com/p/rexcelpoi/
