[Rd] more problems when using "installWithVers"

2005-10-04 Thread A.J. Rossini
R-devel, SVN revision 35729 (this morning, euro-time)

So far, I'm having awful luck with the "installWithVers" flags.

Recent example:

I can install.packages("lattice", installWithVers=TRUE)
successfully (no errors, at least it looks like a successful install),
but can't load it:

Error in library.dynam(pkg,pkg,lib) : shared library 'lattice_0.12-7' not found
Error: .onLoad failed in 'loadNamesspace' for 'lattice_0.12-7'
Error: package/namespace load filed for 'lattice'

It's there.  (note: no problems on a different installation, avoiding
the "installWithVers" flags for package installation).

2005-10-04 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
Tony,

The problem is specific to your example:

> install.packages("ash")
...
> install.packages("ash", installWithVers=TRUE)
> library("ash", version="1.0-9")
> search()
  [1] ".GlobalEnv""package:ash_1.0-9" "package:methods"
  [4] "package:stats" "package:graphics"  "package:grDevices"
  [7] "package:utils" "package:datasets"  "Autoloads"
[10] "package:base"

and lies in lattice's .onLoad (as the message says, and hence the Cc: to 
Deepayan).  That has

.onLoad <- function(lib, pkg)
{
 library.dynam(pkg, pkg, lib )
 lattice.options(.defaultLatticeOptions())
 lattice.setStatus(.defaultLatticeStatus())
}

which is incorrect: it should be library.dynam("lattice", pkg, lib)
OTOH, 'ash' has it correctly and so works.

I am not sure BTW that lattice_0.12-7 is necessarily compatible with R 
2.2.0.

Did you really get those typos?  I don't.

Error in library.dynam(pkg, pkg, lib) : shared library 'lattice_0.12-7' not 
found
Error: .onLoad failed in 'loadNamespace' for 'lattice_0.12-7'
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'lattice'

And wasn't to my last example.  Since it probably is clear that I'm
retyping errors, there is a reason that I'm delaying on the next few.

Re: [Rd] Option "installWithVers" seems to impact new.packages() badly?

2005-10-04 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
Hard to know what you expect here.  There is no recent change that I can 
see.

I removed ash and then installed it with version.  new.packages() showed 
it as new in both 2.1.1 and 2.2.0-beta.

The issue is that installed.packages() has never been taught about 
versioned installs, and you might like to take that up with your BioC 
colleagues who added the idea.

I believe it always did: it certainly does in 2.1.1 for me.

Also, I don't know what this has to do with BioC.  This is core R, so
pertinent to this list.  Otherwise, perhaps it should be taken out?

Brian can of course speak for himself, but I think his point was just
that the request for the feature came from BioC, not that the
discussion was on the wrong list.

Re: [Rd] access to R parse tree for Lisp-style macros?

2005-10-04 Thread Warnes, Gregory R
FWIW, the latest version of the 'gtools' package includes a slightly
enhanced version of Thomas's 'defmacro' function, as well as the 'strmacro'
function that does string-based macro processing.  Feel free to take a look
at them and suggest enhancements (via patches :^)

Well, yes and no.  It is a syntactic shortcut using functions, but what it 
does is manipulate and then evaluate pieces of parse tree.  It doesn't 
have the efficiency under compilation that real macros would, but we don't 
have compilation.  It doesn't have gensyms, but again, R fails to support 
these in a fairly fundamental way, so they have to be faked using 
variables with weird random names.

I have a long-term plan to add real macros, but not until after Luke 
Tierney's byte-code compiler is finished.

[Rd] vector labels are not permuted properly in a call to sort() (R 2.1)

2005-10-04 Thread Greg Finak
Not sure if this is the correct forum for this, but I've found what I  
would consider to be a potentially serious bug to the unsuspecting user.
Given a numeric vector V with class labels in R,  the following calls

1.
 > sort(as.matrix(V))

and

2.
 >as.matrix(sort(V))

produce different ouput. The vector is sorted properly in both cases,  
but only 2. produces the correct labeling of the vector. The call to  
1. produces a vector with incorrect labels (not sorted).

Code:
 >X<-c("A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H")
 >Y<-rev(1:8)
 >names(Y)<-X
 > Y
A B C D E F G H
8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
 > sort(as.matrix(Y))
   [,1]
A1
B2
C3
D4
E5
F6
G7
H8
 > as.matrix(sort(Y))
   [,1]
H1
G2
F3
E4
D5
C6
B7
A8

Re: [Rd] vector labels are not permuted properly in a call to sort() (R 2.1)

2005-10-04 Thread Liaw, Andy
The `problem' is that sort() does not doing anything special when given
a matrix: it only treat it as a vector.  After sorting, it copies
attributes of the original input to the output.  Since dimnames are
attributes, they get copied as is.

Try:

> y <- matrix(8:1, 4, 2, dimnames=list(LETTERS[1:4], NULL))
> y
  [,1] [,2]
A84
B73
C62
D51
> sort(y)
  [,1] [,2]
A15
B26
C37
D48

Notice the row names stay the same.  I'd argue that this is the correct
behavior.

I'll upload a fixed version. There was a related discussion a while back about 
having a PACKAGE= argument in .Call()'s, but I don't remember the details. 
What's the current recommendation?

I would recommend that you do.  I think in your case you could also use 
useDynlib in the NAMESPACE file (since it is called before .onLoad), and 
only then is it reasonably safe to omit PACKAGE=.  The issue is about if 
you can load two versions simultaneously, and I don't see that as very 
safe with lattice (since it is tied to a grid version).

But what the heck did that have to do with anything?   Should I be
making comments to  Brian about Peter Donnelly or Jotun Hein if I've
got comments about their work just because he's at Oxford?

Irrelevant network connections are irrelevant, and the comment about
BioC made no sense whatsoever to me.

Please don't mangle replies like this to make them unreadable.

Peter's comment is spot-on.  The request for versioned installs and the 
original code came from the BioC team via Robert Gentleman.  I presume it 
was a deliberate choice that a versioned install of 'ash' is reported as 
an installation of 'ash_1.0-9', not 'ash', and I was referring you to the 
authors (and RG was one and will know who else was involved, as I recall 
at least Jeff Gentry) as to their intentions.

Re: [Rd] Option "installWithVers" seems to impact new.packages() badly?

2005-10-04 Thread A.J. Rossini
Please grow up, Brian.   If you want to side track the issue, why
don't you wait for Robert, etc, to answer?  Are you pissed at that
particular change, so that if anyone brings up a problem with it, and
who might happen to have had a conversation with them once or twice, 
that you will jump on them?  Or do you need to enlighten me on your
perceptions of my failings on my part for not knowing what everyone I
know is doing and whether what they are doing is correct?  Gosh
almightly.

Right now, as has been true for nearly a year now, my time with R is
strictly a hobby, as is any little time I might spend on BioC.

Thankfully, Luke's ancient Common LispStat works on SBCL.  Hobbys are
for enjoyment, and given the berating I've just gotten on the two
questions, it's almost enough to make the switch complete.

If you want to report issues about ash, feel free to.  That wasn't the
issue I reported on.  I reported on two, we've solved one, and I've
had a snide clueless remark and a rather tactless remark on the other.

best,
-tony

[Rd] R and Java

2005-10-04 Thread Vasundhara Akkineni
I am a grad student and am working on a project where i need to integrate
java and R. I have a front end in java and i need to call R functions and be
able to dispaly the plots and graphs produced by R on my java front end. I
came across some tools like SJava and rserve...but am not sure which best
suits my application. Your suggestion will be really helpful.
 Thanks,
vasu.
