[Rd] R for AIX - guidance re: error messages requested
Hi all, With the bug in tre identified I am trying to move forward - one step at a time. As I am getting some errors that prevent make completing with version 3.2.3, and R-devel introduces new issues (that I will face when I get to them) I would appreciate some guidance with output of "make check" (of 3.1.3) and the final message I run into when trying to build 3.2.3. Maybe they are related, maybe not. In short - where should I be looking in more detail (e.g., with debugger again), and are the errors possibly related to a library (e.g., lzma/xz as it has been mentioned in other mails). make check root@x065:[/data/prj/cran/32/R-3.1.3.1]make check make[1]: Entering directory '/data/prj/cran/32/R-3.1.3.1/tests' make[2]: Entering directory '/data/prj/cran/32/R-3.1.3.1/tests' make[3]: Entering directory '/data/prj/cran/32/R-3.1.3.1/tests/Examples' Testing examples for package 'base' Error: testing 'base' failed Execution halted Makefile:33: recipe for target 'test-Examples-Base' failed make[3]: *** [test-Examples-Base] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory '/data/prj/cran/32/R-3.1.3.1/tests/Examples' Makefile.common:166: recipe for target 'test-Examples' failed make[2]: *** [test-Examples] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory '/data/prj/cran/32/R-3.1.3.1/tests' Makefile.common:154: recipe for target 'test-all-basics' failed make[1]: *** [test-all-basics] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/data/prj/cran/32/R-3.1.3.1/tests' Makefile:236: recipe for target 'check' failed make: *** [check] Error 2 Failing (64-bit) build of R-3.2.3 begin installing recommended package MASS * installing *source* package 'MASS' ... ** package 'MASS' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked ** libs xlc_r -qarch=pwr5 -I/home/cran/64/R/include -DNDEBUG -I/usr/local/include -g -c MASS.c -o MASS.o xlc_r -qarch=pwr5 -I/home/cran/64/R/include -DNDEBUG -I/usr/local/include -g -c lqs.c -o lqs.o xlc_r -qarch=pwr5 -Wl,-brtl -Wl,-G -Wl,-bexpall -Wl,-bnoentry -lc -L/home/cran/64/R/lib -L/opt/lib -liconv -o MASS.so MASS.o lqs.o -lm -L/home/cran/64/R/lib -lR ld: 0711-224 WARNING: Duplicate symbol: p_xargc ld: 0711-224 WARNING: Duplicate symbol: p_xargv ld: 0711-224 WARNING: Duplicate symbol: p_xrcfg ld: 0711-224 WARNING: Duplicate symbol: p_xrc ld: 0711-224 WARNING: Duplicate symbol: end ld: 0711-224 WARNING: Duplicate symbol: .log ld: 0711-224 WARNING: Duplicate symbol: log ld: 0711-224 WARNING: Duplicate symbol: .sqrt ld: 0711-224 WARNING: Duplicate symbol: sqrt ld: 0711-224 WARNING: Duplicate symbol: guesses ld: 0711-224 WARNING: Duplicate symbol: .strcmp ld: 0711-224 WARNING: Duplicate symbol: strcmp ld: 0711-224 WARNING: Duplicate symbol: .isnan ld: 0711-224 WARNING: Duplicate symbol: isnan ld: 0711-224 WARNING: Duplicate symbol: .pow ld: 0711-224 WARNING: Duplicate symbol: pow ld: 0711-224 WARNING: Duplicate symbol: .exp ld: 0711-224 WARNING: Duplicate symbol: exp ld: 0711-345 Use the -bloadmap or -bnoquiet option to obtain more information.

[Rd] Inconsistencies of Fundamental Summary Functions
Good day, Functions such as min and max work on a data frame of numbers, but other functions, like median do not. For example, database <- data.frame(Name = LETTERS[1:3], Amount = 1:3, Price = 4:6) > min(database[, 2:3]) [1] 1 > mean(database[, 2:3]) [1] NA > median(database[, 2:3]) Error in median.default(database[, 2:3]) : need numeric data This observation was made when teaching university students in the first year of their degrees. Some functions require coercion by using as.matrix but others don't. Surely these simple commands should be consistent. Also, the documentation for min and max is incomplete. It states "‘Numeric’ arguments are vectors of type integer and numeric, and logical." It should also mention that it works on data frames, although not when data frames are represented as lists, which can easily be coerced back to data frames. > min(as.list(database[, 2:3])) Error in min(as.list(database[, 2:3])) : invalid 'type' (list) of argument -- Dario Strbenac PhD Student University of Sydney Camperdown NSW 2050 Australia __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
