Re: [Rd] symbolic linking to library files

I agree with the other poster's advice to just give guru permission to write to the R library folder. But the thing you want is the following. Create a directory somewhere that guru has write permission, for example ~guru/library (although I guess I would recommend somewhere else than guru's

Hi Sri, I haven't really elaborated on it having other stuff to prepare first, but as far as I got you first assign data to a vector: #include #include #undef R_INTERFACE_PTRS #include #include "Rcpp.hpp" #include #include #include //assigning a vector SEXP ab; PROTECT(ab =

Re: [Rd] symbolic linking to library files

It seems not the whole path /home/guru/Blaster is accessible to the intended users. Since guru has read access to the R install dirs why don't you try putting real Blaster dir there and giving guru the ownership or at least necessary permissions so that (s)he can really actually install Blaster th

Re: [Rd] rowSums()/colSums() don't preserve the 'integer' storage mode

Hi, there is one more thing to consider: the risk of getting integer overflow. Should that be ignored? How is this handled by sum()? I think it is good if {col|row}Sums() would return the same data type as the input object. Cheers Henrik On Thu, Jul 17, 2008 at 6:32 PM, Herve Pages <[EMAIL P

[Rd] symbolic linking to library files

I handle SysAdmin for a multi-user Linux box, with R 2.7.1 compiled and installed to make usee of ACML (Opteron chips). The library files (packages) are installed to /usr/local/lib64/R/library Everything works as it should, except for the following. Say I have a user (an R developer) who has devel

[Rd] Checking package help file examples

I am trying to figure out the sanctioned way for 'R CMD check pkg' to make sure that the examples in help files give the expected results. Writing R Extensions says that check runs the help file examples (which INSTALL extracts from pkg/man/*.Rd and puts into files in pkg/R-ex). It looks like che

Hi, We just upgraded the MacOSX R with foreign package 0.8.27 with CRAN to have SPSS long variable names. Script tests/spss.R runs fine. Thanks for importing the spss long labels patch & having this available for MacOSX! The first real-life datafile does not get loaded with "Unexpected end of file

Re: [Rd] Snow or alternative MPI packages on Windows

:) Actually it turns out that DeinoMPI & Rmpi & the new version of snow do the trick. Jay Emerson suggested NetWorkSpaces which looks quite neat. For the time being I'll probably stick to snow/Rmpi though. So it seems that progress has been made! // Giuseppe

Thank you, Ei-ji. I haven't tried the aix_R-2.7.1_Rshlib_include_configure.patch for two reason: #1 I have to compile R2.7.0 although I can reproduce the trouble on R-2.7.1. #2 Actually, I don't know how to use this patch to R-2.7.1. Does this need AIX admin permission? And thanks for telling me

Re: [Rd] rowSums()/colSums() don't preserve the 'integer' storage mode

I had a look at the source code and the coercion to double is only done one the sum of each row/column, so the "overhead" (e.g. memory) is only on the summed result. The integer matrix is *not*coerced to double before summing, which could be case if done before calling the native code. The latter

Giuseppe, I've been able to use NetWorkSpaces on all platforms, and have used snow under Linux. It's possible to use snow under windows, but you'll need to build the binary yourself I think. As an aside, I think this makes it impossible to write a CRAN-friendly package that Requires: or Suggests
