Re: [R] Good news about my problem
Greetings, Mr Bivand and all the other authors,
I'm glad to say that there are some encouraging advances in my debugging
progress. Thanks to Mr Brivand, I could check the packages installed on my
oparation system. I have found that I have only one of the two font files
installed-'xorg-x11-75dpi-fonts' installed and left the other one. So I have it
('xorg-x11-100dpi-fonts') installed and then do those checks again. Howerver,
nothing is changed after installing. Inspired by your advice, I searched for
any packages related to 'X11' and 'font', and have them all installed
accompained with those that they related to. For details, I installed
'xorg-x11-cyrillic-fonts-6.7.0-3mdk','libxorg-x11-static-devel' whose name
contains the word 'devel' and some other packages they related to.
After doing all of these installation, I re-check the problem. Although I
cannot pass the check command 'make check' nor can I find the file
'graphics-Ex.Rout', I can complete the demo command 'demo(graphics)'
successfully! How happy I am!
To ensure my conclusion, I will paste the last few lines of messages displayed
after running the command 'demo(graphics)' below: Could try check it for me
please?
usr - par(usr)
rect(usr[1], usr[3], usr[2], usr[4], col = green3)
contour(x, y, volcano, levels = l, col = yellow,
lty = solid, add = TRUE)
box()
title(A Topographic Map of Maunga Whau, font = 4)
title(xlab = Meters North, ylab = Meters West,
font = 3)
mtext(10 Meter Contour Spacing, side = 3, line = 0.35,
outer = FALSE, at = mean(par(usr)[1:2]), cex = 0.7, font = 3)
par(bg = cornsilk)
coplot(lat ~ long | depth, data = quakes, pch = 21,
bg = green3)
pressreturnfor next graphic:
par(opar)
Thanks to your advice, I can display graphics correctly. And I am waiting for
your further advice or suggestion to dealing with my problems.
Thank you very much! Best wishes to everone!
Sincerely yours,
An Chinese

[R] Questions about R
Sep, 22nd,2005 Dear Authors, Thanks for reading this email. I'm a graduate student from China (PRC) and learning the R at present. Now I have some questions to ask you as I have met some strange problems during installing and running the R environment, which can not be found in the R FAQ document (or just I can not find them). It might be useful that I gived you the information of my operation system and hardwares. I am using R on a Mandrake Linux 10.1 operation system on a PC platform parchased from IBM company. The mainboard of my computer is Intel 915PG, that means it has an integrated graphic accelerator. The first question is about the error occurs during my installation. Following the R Installation and Administration manual, I successully downloaded the latest version of R, unziped the file, and also completed the progress ./configure and make successully. By the way, I managed to install a developmental package of Linux named r77, which may be a FORTRAN developmental package, before installing the R environment into my computer. However, an error occured when I type the commond make check or make check FORCE=FORCE or make check-devel, and the warnings displayed are written below:( Somewords are translated from Chinese into English by myself) running code in 'graphics-Ex.R' ...make[4]: *** [graphics-Ex.Rout] error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/zhengqi/R_HOME/R-2.1.1/tests/Examples' make[3]: *** [test-Examples-Base] error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/zhengqi/R_HOME/R-2.1.1/tests/Examples' make[2]: *** [test-Examples] error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/zhengqi/R_HOME/R-2.1.1/tests' make[1]: *** [test-all-basics] error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/zhengqi/R_HOME/R-2.1.1/tests' make: *** [check] error 2 What's the mean of the error messeage listed up? Why it happens in my computer? Which kind of problems is it, software's or hardware's? I just ignored the mistakes, as it says in your installation manual that this kind of failures is not necessarilly problems as they might be caused by missing functionality, until I met with the following problem. The second bug occured when I was doing some ordinary statistical work. Suppose v1 is a numerical vector of length(v1)==20; further suppose v1 - c(1:20). When I type the command lines(density(v1)) or rug(v1) simillar errors take place, and it prompts the following messages below: ( some key words of the promption are translated into English by myself) For the first command, it warns: error occurs at: plot.xy(xy.coords(x, y), type = type, col = col, lty = lty, ...) : 'plot.new' hasn't been called yet and for the second command, it warns: error occurs at: axis(side, at = x, lab = FALSE, lwd = lwd, ...) : 'plot.new' hasn't been called yet Besides: warnings: some values will be clipped in: rug(v1) These are some description of the problems I met during the installing and running the R environment. And if you need more detail description of those problems, please let me know and I will gather any information about them as much as possible. Waiting for your reply! Best wishes to everyone!

Re: [R] It seems that it is not the reason causing my problems
Dear Authors: Thanks for your advice on my question. However, it seems that it is not the reason that your told in your reply. I just opened a new R session and type the command capabilities(), and it displayed indentical results to the right ones described in your letter, that is: capabilities() jpeg pngtcltk X11 http/ftp sockets libxml fifo TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE cledit IEEE754iconv TRUE TRUE TRUE And I can not pass the make check all the same. Is there any other possible reasons which could cause this depressing problem? Thanks!

Re: [R] More detail discriptions about my problem
Dear Mr Bivand and all the authors, Glad to recieve your letter, and it seems that you catched the very bug this time! First of all, there isn't any file named graphics.Ex-rout in direction tests/Examples/ but there are graphics.Ex.R and graphics.Ex-Rout.fail files there, the latter of which looks like a good crue of my problem. So I tared this file and sent it as an attached file of this letter, wishing it won't be rejected by your server. I also try demo(graphics) in a new R session and some errors occured as expected. The graphics demo can be displayed correctly until the third one. An mistake happened and braked down the command. The failing message is writed down below:( also some key words was translated into English by myself) Press 'Enter' for the next graphic : title(main = January Pie Sales, cex.main = 1.8, font.main = 1) error occurs in: title(main = January Pie Sales, cex.main = 1.8, font.main = 1) : cannot load X11 font size 22 So it seems that there are still some problems with my package X11, doesn't it? All good luck!
