Re: [Rd] Getting 'LinkingTo' to find the right library

Where did you get the idea that R CMD INSTALL is reading .Rprofile? (AFAIR it does so only to find the installation library, as R CMD INSTALL --help says it will.) You need to set R_LIBS in the environment to get the library path you want. This is not specific to 'LinkingTo'. On Mon, 2 Feb

[Rd] best reference on generics

2009-02-02 Thread Spencer Graves
Hello, All: What would you say is the best succinct reference to cite on use of generic functions, especially S3 generics? I want to add an appropriate citation on this to a forthcoming book in the Springer "useR!" series (discussing the use of the 'fda' package, which uses the S3 stan

2009-02-02 Thread Setzer . Woodrow
I am experimenting with exporting pointers to some of the functions in deSolve so that other packages may import them, using the 'R_RegisterCCallable' mechanism. I have added a header file and some other C code in inst/include of the deSolve source package that need to be accessible to other pack

I was looking for something like that (as an example) http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Roadmap I wanted to know where R was going in general. Like if there was a target for 3.0, etc. Maybe it would better apply to RGui, I admit I have some difficulties to distinguish one project from th

[Rd] Arima_Like() and NaN - a (possible) problem, a patch, and RFC

2009-02-02 Thread Mauro Andreolini
Hi, recently I have started working with R (v. 2.7.2), and I have been using R's internal ARIMA_Like() function (from the "stats" package) to estimate some ARIMA models. In particular, I use ARIMA_Like() in a function "fn()" that I feed to the optim() method; the main goal is to find optimal ARIMA
