problem was that the computer was not set up to support X11. As a minimum, you have to install /xauth/, and potentially also other libraries if you want to install packages from source. Best, Ott On Fri, Sep 25, 2015 at 11:53 AM, Skye Bender-deMoll mailto:skyeb...@skyeome.net>> wrote:

Hi R-devl, I'm still unable to force opening an *interactive* non-Rstudio platform-specific plot device on *unix* systems. dev.new() add a new argument 'noRStudioGD' in R 3.1.1. Thank you. It works for me when using RStudio on Windows, but on the unix system it opens a pdf device instead of

[Rd] declaring nonS3method

If Martin's proposal for declaring non-S3 methods in NAMESPACE is feasible, it would be very helpful. The packages we support have multiple examples of unfortunately named functions non-S3 functions, so creating a route for migrating them into compliance would be great. best, -skye On 06/12/2

Dear R-devel, Recent versions of R CMD check have been flagging apparent S3 methods that are not registered in the NAMESPACE as such. In most situations this is very helpful. However, I have few cases in existing packages where we have unfortunately named functions using a "." in them that

Dear R-developers, As part of our package building process, we maintain internal CRAN-like repositories of our packages. This has worked pretty well, but we are running into issues with R 3.1 and OSX mavericks. Specifically, machines with osx mavericks seem to, by default, expect packages t
