Re: [R-SIG-Mac] R 4.4 crashes loading dplyr
Thanks, Peter! The funny thing is that I had kept R 4.2 around in the Frameworks directory, but didn't expect a new installation of R4.4 to choose that path for libs. I removed R4.2 , then reinstalled R4.4 and now the correct libs are invoked. I guess some config macro file must have remained in the list of startup items. FWIW, after removing R4.2 but before reinstalling R4.4, I tried 'library(dplyr)' , which didn't crash but failed with the error msgs shown here. Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘dplyr’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...): unable to load shared object '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.4-x86_64/Resources/library/magrittr/libs/magrittr.so': dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.4-x86_64/Resources/library/magrittr/libs/magrittr.so, 0x0006): Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.2/Resources/lib/libR.dylib Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.4-x86_64/Resources/library/magrittr/libs/magrittr.so Reason: tried: '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.2/Resources/lib/libR.dylib' (no such file), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.2/Resources/lib/libR.dylib' (no such file), '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.2/Resources/lib/libR.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/local/lib/libR.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/lib/libR.dylib' (no such file, not in dyld cac regards, Carl On Tue, Apr 30, 2024 at 4:48 AM peter dalgaard wrote: > Hmm, worx4me.

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] 4.3.1 fails to load
Problem fixed but not solved. On previous updates to R, I always copied all the packages (that aren't part of the base installation) from the previous version's Library folder to the new version's Library folder, and then updated when I actually use them. The fix for my problem was to run "Update All" before trying to load any library. The problem remains not-solved, because (prior to updating everything), any attempt to run >> library(any_package) would cause failure similar to those I posted previously. So, while I'm reasonably confident that R 4.3.1 doesn't play nicely with 4.2 - level libraries, I most definitely cannot point to any particular library. The deepest level of the traceback report for ggplot2 was 1: dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) but when trying to load gmp, get the traceback quoted below. carl On 7/22/23 8:09 PM, r-sig-mac-requ...@r-project.org wrote: Send R-SIG-Mac mailing list submissions to r-sig-mac@r-project.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to r-sig-mac-requ...@r-project.org You can reach the person managing the list at r-sig-mac-ow...@r-project.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of R-SIG-Mac digest..."

[R-SIG-Mac] problem with editor in R.app GUI
Hi, This is difficult to trigger consistently, which is why I'm not posting a file that causes it. Here's the issue: If I have a file with a function that has many bracket pairs , { } , e.g., for-loops or if - else constructs, and there's a mismatch somewhere in the code, I try to simplify the view by using the little triangles to "fold up" internal bracket pairs. But every now and then this causes an immediate GUI crash. My suspicion is that the tool is trying to search past the beginning -- or end -- of the file and never finds the matching bracket, but that's just a guess. Here is, I think, the crash log contents Process: R [84853] Path: /Applications/R.app/Contents/MacOS/R Identifier:org.R-project.R Version: R 4.2.2 GUI 1.79 High Sierra build (8160) Code Type: X86-64 (Native) Parent Process:???

[R-SIG-Mac] minor bugfix request in R Help window
Hi, Just a nit that annoys me. If I do "?some_func" and then, in the R Help window, I do a word search, the search box at the bottom of the window covers up the footer containing the link to the package "Index" page. I have to close the search box to see that link. Any chance the Help page can be configured so opening the search box doesn't cover up this stuff?

by another thread. We could also report such situation to indicate that the interval is unreasonable. But it would be good first to know for sure what caused the problem. How can you check anything if pthread functions fail? If a simple pthead_self() crashes then I don't see how you can do anything since we don't even know what thread we are, cannot call mutexes etc. Cheers, Simon -- Carl Witthoft personal: c...@witthoft.com The Witthoft Group, Consulting https://witthoftgroup.weebly.com/ ___ R-SIG-Mac mailing list R-SIG-Mac@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac

[R-SIG-Mac] Editor beginning-of-line-chomp?
Hi, Not sure when I first noticed this. When I open a file in the Rgui Editor, the window opens with the text "shifted left" so the first char or two are invisible. I can click & "push" to get the proper left-hand margin viewable, but have to do this every time. I've tried it with "show line numbers" preference set to ON and to OFF; same problem. I'm running Catalina, R7849Debug but saw the same thing with previous release versions. -- Carl Witthoft c...@witthoft.com resume: https://app.box.com/file/498153801347 ___ R-SIG-Mac mailing list R-SIG-Mac@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
Re: [R-SIG-Mac] Can't open files in 4.0 or 4.01
Hi, I ran 7849 high sierra debug GUI, and am happy to report that I had zero crashes or hangs. I tried opening via the icon in the console window, from the File menu, and even by selecting a dozen "name.r" files in the Finder and hitting -O . All files opened, no problems seen.

Please try the latest GUI revision 7849 from https://mac.R-project.org The issue I found so far seems to have to do with function folding in documents - which is why is actually depends on the document content - and a selector that is apparently missing in Catalina.

So first thing is to avoid the signal handler, run this command in Terminal: defaults write org.R-project.R 'Disable R signal handlers' YES Then download the debug version of the R GUI from https://mac.R-project.org/ where it says Mac OS X GUI ... high-sierra-Debug.dmg - pick the one matching your R version (4.0 for release or 4.1 for R-devel). You don't need to replace your regular one, you can run it simply from the image. Note that it is signed, but not notarized, so right-click (=ctrl-click) on it and select "Open". That will avoid the "hang" but will give a proper segfault with an Apple report so won't help immediately but will make it easier to pinpoint. Also it should include debug symbols with line numbers and all that. Please post the crash report. Thank you for your help, Simon On Jun 29, 2020, at 4:25 AM, Brandon Hurr wrote: Thanks Ben.

I tried removing those Pref and Cache items. No help It doesn't matter how I try to open a file: double-click the file, drag&drop, from the Rgui File menu or the icon in the header of the console window. They all hang the same way. I tried turning off DefaultFolder and QuickSilver; no help. I'm happy to try other experiments -- about the only other "unusual" thing in my setup is USBOverdrive.

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] Problem with CHECK --as-cran on Catalina
I always run R CMD BUILD before R CMD CHECK. I popped open the tar.gz file and the folder did include DESCRIPTION. So it's there, all right. I notice the 'build' folder contains one file, 'partial.rdb' . I don't have anything requiring compilation, so I'm not sure why there's a 'build' directory at all.

[R-SIG-Mac] Problem with CHECK --as-cran on Catalina
Hi, I recently upgraded to a new iMac w/ Catalina. Something really strange is happening when I try to run "R CMD CHECK --as-cran " . If I run it on various older packages that have previously passed the check, all is well. I am writing a new package, and here's the response I get: * using log directory ‘/Users/cgw/Rgames/fitConic.Rcheck’ * using R version 4.0.0 (2020-04-24) * using platform: x86_64-apple-darwin17.0 (64-bit) * using session charset: UTF-8 * using option ‘--as-cran’ * checking for file ‘fitConic/DESCRIPTION’ ... OK * this is package ‘fitConic’ version ‘1.0’ * checking CRAN incoming feasibility ...Error: file './DESCRIPTION' does not exist Execution halted This happens whether I run R CMD CHECK from the parent dirctory /Users/cgw/Rgames or from the source directory /Users/cgw/Rgames/fitConic . I verified I can edit the DESCRIPTION file in my previous packages & still pass the check. I even took one of those old DESCRIPTION files and put it into the fitConic directory, and changed only the "Package: " line . I'm guessing that last error message is not telling me what actually went wrong, but I'm at a loss as to why this new package fails. I've created a new directory and moved all my files (DESCRIPTION, NAMESPACE, and the R & man folders) over. No luck. Is this a hangup somewhere in R 4.0 for OSX, or is there something else going on?

[R-SIG-Mac] Transitioning from Mac to LInux?
If I should ask over at r-sig-debian instead of here, please tell me. I don't wish to clog r-sig-mac with off-topic stuff. I've been watching the massive headaches people are dealing with trying to keep R fully compatible with each MacOS X upgrade, I'm wondering whether replacing my iMac (2009) with a new Mac really makes sense from an R - user point of view, as opposed to getting some inexpensive desktop and installing Linux. I know I can run R and RStudio under Linux, for example, but don't know what limitations, if any there are when it comes to building packages from source, getting compatible compilers, and so on.

[R-SIG-Mac] R vs. Microsoft R-Open updates?
Hi. I D/L'd the 3.3.1 version of R for MacOSX and ran the installer. After getting some "can't load" error messages, I discovered that the installer had updated the MicrosoftROpen.app, not the "vanilla" R.app . Is this expected behavior, or am I making a hash of my apps and libraries by trying to keep both R and MRO available on my (Yosemite) machine? -- Carl Witthoft c...@witthoft.com resume: https://app.box.com/WitthoftResume ___ R-SIG-Mac mailing list R-SIG-Mac@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac

May I suggest an alternative?

[R-SIG-Mac] hangs under Yosemite redux
Back to that question of the gui hanging at commands like "Save As" I brought up a few weeks back. Someone posted a similar question to SO and someone else posted the following claim: "Apparently, this is a bug in R's GUI. Some OS X features/libraries that used to be in place in earlier versions of OS X have been removed in Yosemite. You can work around this bug by running R from the terminal / command line. Fire up the terminal app (quickest way is to use Spotlight search: cmd+space -> terminal), and type the following command: /Applications/R.app/Contents/MacOS/R " Is this possible? rational? I don't know how Yosemite cranks up an executable, so have no idea how booting the R-executable directly might differ from a Finder double-click. What I did find is that the Terminal window gives me the following warnings: " 2015-01-26 15:48:55.319 R[57903:2792043] Failed to connect (cancelButton) outlet from (SelectList) to (NSButton): missing setter or instance variable 2015-01-26 15:48:55.319 R[57903:2792043] Failed to connect (okButton) outlet from (SelectList) to (NSButton): missing setter or instance variable " Carl -- Sent from a parallel universe almost, but not entirely, nothing at all like this one. ___ R-SIG-Mac mailing list R-SIG-Mac@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac

[R-SIG-Mac] apparently solved: hang on Open Dialog box
I think I've solved the problem. I have been using FinderPop for ages sans problems, but the R.app-specific problem described previously went away as soon as I added R.app to the list of excluded applications for FinderPop. Dunno why this is, but hardly worth asking anyone to dive into the R.app source code (or FinderPop ) to fix. Thanks to Simon for running some tests at his end.

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] corrupted plist file again
Hmm... The reason I suspected the file is that every time I delete this plist file, everything is OK again. However: Other than some mystery "Shared" volume called "8e40280" which my OSX desktop tells me "connection failed," I don't have any oddball mounts. I'm unable to collect any info on that volume, and I can't eject, unmount, or connect to it, so I dunno what it is, but it is true that when I run "GetInfo", the FinderInfo window goes into a spin while "Fetching more info" so possibly that is the headache. Any idea how I can remove that alleged volume from my Network list? It doesn't show up as ejectable. Terminal % ls -a /Volumes doesn't show any other entries,btw.

Thanks, Simon Well, actually, on R 3.0.2 GUI 1.62 Snow Leopard build (6558) I don't get any response to a hovering pointer! I get a very brief highlight if I pass the cursor "across" a bracket using the arrow keys. If I move the mouse pointer and click at a location to place the cursor there, no highlighting. But, yes, what I'm requesting is for the bracket pair to stay highlighted as long as the cursor (not the mouse pointer) is situated next to a bracket. ciao, Carl -- Sent from a parallel universe almost, but not entirely, nothing at all like this one. ___ R-SIG-Mac mailing list R-SIG-Mac@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
[R-SIG-Mac] feature request: editor match brackets
Yes, I know about --B but that's ugly-ish. What I'd like to request is a automatic paired-bracket color highlighting in a manner similar to what Notepad++ does (which, if you haven't used it, colors a bracket next to the cursor and its matching pair). While it's nice to get that quickie highlighting while typing a line of code, in general it's a lot more useful to get a highlighting while eding code blocks.

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] "?" in scripteditor
Well, first of all, it appears the character got converted to '?' in the email. Next, I strongly suspect it's a NewLine character, not a tilde, which is not the "not" char in R anyway. If I'm right,this happens when text files (sometimes) when text files get moved from WindowsOS to OSX and "end of line" is CR-LF or just LF, etc. and the editor gets confused. HTH I've been noticing lately some weirdness in the editor when copying and pasting code. Last night when I was trying to run some code from the ggplot2 mailing list I pasted the code in from gmail. As usual, there were extra line breaks that caused the code to fail. I pasted the code into the script editor to fix the line breaks and then copy/pasted it into R-GUI. I then got a lot more errors than I did previously, all of which were caused by the insertion of an invisible "?" symbol (a logical not). Here: https://plus.google.com/116319893425910717496/posts/5Yxkk7GFwts is a screen shot. The code in question is from this question: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/ggplot2/BxSDoDjJgSA ... but this has happened before a few times (I cannot recall when it started, recently... perhaps since installing ML, but maybe before that). If I hit up to input the previous previous command the "?" are not there and when I search in the editor for this symbol nothing is found. Is there something going on with the editor or the clipboard or ...? Where should I be looking?

Simon's response may have misled some folks: Naive Windows users (redundant?) don't understand either icon relationships or how to display full file names. Those "bad" zip files are actually "sneakyname.zip.exe" . AFAIK none of the more common unzipping utilities will launch an executable after unpacking the archive. It may well be that some idiot (at Microsoft) set things up so that a new, say, .img file gets automounted sort of like what Windows does with an inserted audio CD.

Hi, Someone claimed in this StackOverflow thread http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9107695/r-comment-out-block-of-code that the sequence "CMD-OPT-`" would comment the selected block. What it does, on my machine, is to place the "`" at the start and end of the selection, which of course just makes a mess.

Today I installed R 2.13.0, and downloaded the latest versions of the above packages. Most of them load without problems, but class (a depend of classInt), and deldir (a depend of spdep) failed to load.

In the case of deldir, the errant file is libgfortran.2.dylib. I can get package class to load without error by taking a copy of libR.dylib from the subdirectory of 2.13 and putting it in the subdirectory of 2.12 where class expects it to be. I'm concerned this might be a stupid short-term fix, as calls to the functions in class might also fail due to other files not being in the expected places. Can anyone suggest any leads to other approaches I could take to get these previously trouble-free packages to behave themselves in R 2.13? Thank you.

Then I get rid of foo, rm(foo) But the memory allocations don't change. Looks like a memory leak? Two other things I found: 1) If I write a function that does nothing but create some big objects like that, and then deletes them, ActivityMonitor shows memory allocated to R and then freed up. This is what I'd expect from the R.app GUI as well. 2) If I boot several other applications, using up all my RAM, at some point the operating system moves some of R's active memory into virtual memory. Now the funny thing: if I make R the foreground app, or if I simply quit all the other apps, R does not get its active memory allocation back.

Simon, thanks for the suggestion. I downloaded gmp-4.3.1-darwin9-bin3.tar.gz from research.att.com and installed per their instructions.

The other problem seems to be one of search order, in that, for an integer matrix mx, apply(mx,2,max) works properly. But apply(mxg,2,max) fails to "find" the bigz method and returns an error: Rgames> apply(mxg,2,max) Error in aperm(X, c(s.call, s.ans)) : invalid first argument, must be an array which is because the character matrix 'mxg' was passed to base::apply.

If you have doubt about your builds of gmp you can always pick the one used on CRAN if you wish at http://r.research.att.com/libs/ I thought it might be the compiler, so I checked: TheiMac:~/downloads/gmpmod:cgw-508$ gcc -version i686-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.2.1: no input files You really meant to use --version I presume: ginaz:~$ gcc --version i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5664) but the version usually doesn't matter - especially not on on 10.6 ;) Any ideas what I've got set up wrong? Let me know what other system or app diagnostics I can supply. Well, the only useful diagnostics is the config.log - it will tell you exactly what the error is ... Cheers, Simon thanks Carl (I did finagle an ugly workaround, by bringing home a copy of the installed R-gmp package.

[R-SIG-Mac] odd problem building gmp from source
Hi, I chose to make a minor edit to the R-source matrixz.R in the gmp package (not to be confused with the GNU gmp library which it calls). On my Intel iMac at work, running OSX 10.6.4, it compiled just fine. for reference, that Mac has: %gcc -version i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1: no input files and I honestly forget which version of gmplib I installed. So, I took the R-gmp source home, where I have an Intel iMac w/ 10.5.8, and I get the following foulup: TheiMac:~/downloads/gmpmod:cgw-507$ ./configure creating cache ./config.cache checking for __gmpz_ui_sub in -lgmp... no configure: error: GNU MP not found, or not 4.1.4 or up, see http://swox.com.gmp I've tried installing both GNU gmp 4.3.2 and 5.0.1, same problem.

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] learning R
Rolf -- you da man! Based on the literary quality of your epistle below, I will be sure to call upon your services should I ever need some some organization to be sokaled.

The phrase ``to beg the question'' means to indulge in circular reasoning; to assume what is to be proven. Unfortunately that meaning is becoming lost in the wilderness of ignorance that surrounds us, and the phrase is almost universally used to mean ``to raise the question'' or ``to evince the necessity of an answer to the question''. The language thus loses subtlety and nuance, and Newspeak takes over and limits our ability to express our thoughts. And that is doubleplus ungood! :-) cheers, Rolf Turner ___ R-SIG-Mac mailing list R-SIG-Mac@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
Re: [R-SIG-Mac] learning R
Next to "begging the question," the phrase "steep learning curve" is probably the most misused cliche out there. A 'learning curve' represents knowledge (or understanding) as a function of time. THerefore, the steeper the better. Please help save the English language from descent into Humpty-Dumpty land, and train your colleagues in the correct usage of both these terms.

Message-ID:<53df393b-2037-4b0d-890f-8dbaa1ba1...@meissner.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" The power of R is virtually unmatched, and R for Mac works extremely well. The learning curve is steep, however, and documentation is difficult to grasp, even though it is abundantly available. I am more partial to a commercial data analysis package with which I grew up, but I have done enough work with R on the mac platform to recommend it highly. ___ R-SIG-Mac mailing list R-SIG-Mac@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
Re: [R-SIG-Mac] html help and browser vs. Rgui
Thanks, Simon. I'll check out the current settings in my work machine's org.R-project.R.plist file next week (we have Friday off. Yay!). Carl PS I use Firefox both at home and at work as my default, so I *hope* that's not the issue.

Is there a way I can either force my work machine to use the Rgui window, or at the least stop the useless help window from opening up? The default is what you see at home - and that is the intended behavior. There is a preference "use.external.help" that allows you to use an external browser (at the request of some users) - you can enable it using (in Terminal): defaults write org.R-project.R use.external.help YES and disable it using defaults delete org.R-project.R use.external.help So chances are that you enabled it at some point in the past (maybe?) - it's definitely NOT the default. Alternatively (if that's not the issue?) it may be some strange setting of your browser - but you'd have to provide more detains on that (e.g. do you use a custom browser instead of Safari which may be forcing that behavior?). Cheers, Simon Am I able to use the Rgui help window at home just thru some luck of pre-existing conditions (from the R 2.8 or 2.9 days)? I checked, and the Library/Frameworks/.../base/R/Rprofile files are the same on both machines, as are my personal .Rprofile and .Renvir files in my home directory. Second: I noticed that on both machines, when I use the Search bar in the document editor window (Rgui editor window), the little pop-up results panel displays the help page, with properly functioning links to referenced help pages. This suggests the help system is working "behind the scenes" somehow on my work machine, even though it fails to access the Rgui Help window.Anything I can do to adjust this? ___ R-SIG-Mac mailing list R-SIG-Mac@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
