Hi, This happens in 2.8 and 2.9. I am posting this here because I am not sure if one should use bug.report for reporting bugs in unreleased versions. I was trying to run the example from the help page of plot.rpart. I got > library(rpart) > fit <- rpart(Price ~ Mileage + Type + Country, cu.su

Sorry for the mix-up with Robert Murdoch. I do not know what I was thinking. I just wanted to clarify what would be useful to me. If possible, I would like to have some kind of indication on the website what "version" of Rtools28 (or some future Rtools) is the most current. This way, I would kn

Sorry. I should have looked at the sas.Rout. Indeed, the network file cannot be read. This seems to be the same problem that was happening a couple of versions ago and had to do with our firewall not allowing certain connections. The solution then was to use the --internet2 switch. The same th

A strange thing happened. After installing the most recent RC version of 2.7 (2008-04-20 r45403) I compiled it as usual with no errors. After installing it I ran "make fullcheck". I got as far as testing recommended packages and I got the following: ... Testing package foreign ---

Thanks for quick responses from Prof Ripley and Duncan Murdoch. I tried to play around with TMP and TEMP paths but again with no success. It looks like the problem was this: 1. I have texinfo cygwin package installed. 2. This package has a shell script named texi2dvi 3. This script is installed
