Hi List, I'm trying to call statistic program R (http://www.r-project.org/) with the 'native' function (http://software-lab.de/doc/native.html).
I found a libR.so in my R distribution, copied it to my home folder and changed the owner form root to my own user: ,--------------------------------------------------------- | -rwxr-xr-x 1 me users 3143048 30. Jun 09:10 libR.so `--------------------------------------------------------- Then I chose the sqrt() function in R, that works allright: ,----------- | > sqrt(16) | [1] 4 | > sqrt(4) | [1] 2 `----------- I can make 'native' work, but I don't really understand the outcomes: ,--------------------------------------------------- | : (native "/home/my/folder/libR.so" "sqrt" 1.0 16) | -> 1 | : (native "/home/my/folder/libR.so" "sqrt" 'N 16) | -> 140734293053190 | : (native "/home/my/folder/libR.so" "sqrt" 'I 16) | -> 1099665158 | : (native "/home/my/folder/libR.so" "sqrt" 'S 16) | -> NIL `--------------------------------------------------- ,------------------------------------------------ | : (native "/home/my/folder/libR.so" "sqrt" 1.0 4) | -> 1 | : (native "/home/my/folder/libR.so" "sqrt" 'N 4) | -> 140734293053190 | : (native "/home/my/folder/libR.so" "sqrt" 'I 4) | -> 1099665158 | : (native "/home/my/folder/libR.so" "sqrt" 'S 4) | -> NIL `------------------------------------------------ Might the [1] in '[1] 4' be the culprit, that is always returned, no matter whats the actual argument/result? -- cheers, Thorsten -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
