[Rd] problems with iconv

I'm at wit's ends here and need some help. I've downloaded and compiled iconv versions 1.13 and 1.14 - libiconv.so.2.5.0 and libiconv.so.2.5.1 and copied the iconv all over, replacing the native iconv on my Solaris machine. Still when I try to run the configure I get: checking iconv.h usability

As I said in my email: help I appreciate - sarcasm not so much. I re-read the manual - just in case I'd missed something and still do not have any idea. The manual, BTW, needs some serious help for it to be useful to its intended audiance - people who don't already know how to install R. For exa

Roger, Since Ripley is usually right, if I was you, I would focus on "You need to ensure that GNU libiconv is actually used: you are obviously not finding it, and I suspect your error is in not setting the path to its header file." Based on your description "I've downloaded and compiled iconv v

[Rd] Rcpp too good to be true?

Hello all, I've been working on a package to do various things related to the Conway-Maxwell-Poisson distribution and wanted to be able to make fast random draws from the distribution. My R code was running quite slow so I decided to give Rcpp a bash. I had used it before but only for extremely ba

Re: [Rd] problems with iconv

Sorry, but IMHO saying "read the manual" does not constitute actual help. But here it is from the manual: A suitably comprehensive iconv function is essential. The R usage requires iconv to be able to translate between "latin1" and "UTF-8", to recognize "" (as the current encoding) and "ASCII", a

Re: [Rd] bug in sum() on integer vector

FYI, the new int64 package on CRAN gets this right, but is of course somewhat slower since it is not doing hardware 64-bit arithmetic.  x <- c(rep(180003L, 1000), -rep(120002L, 1500)) library(int64) sum(as.int64(x)) # [1] 0 - Murray 2011/12/9 Hervé Pagès : > Hi, >

Hey Martin, Thanks for the reply, that is a much better way!!! On another note, I actually meant to post this on the rcpp-devel list (and have forwarded it there, noting that there was a mistake in the original post), however I'm quite glad I posted it here by mistake to see this answer :) Cheer

[Rd] termplot & predict.lm. some details about calculating predicted values with "other variables set at the mean"

I'm making some functions to illustrate regressions and I have been staring at termplot and predict.lm and residuals.lm to see how this is done. I've wondered who wrote predict.lm originally, because I think it is very clever. I got interested because termplot doesn't work with interactive models:
