These usually indicate incorrect files. Have you looked at the experimental Rd parser in R-devel to see if it pinpoints an error? For example, in both Fperm.Rd and compareDerivatives.Rd there is an \itemize{} construct inside \value, which is incorrect as \value is itself an implicit

[Rd] Legal problems

Hello R-devel, I have legal problems and perhaps you can help me. Long story short: Do have the licence of R the linking exception? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPL_linking_exception Is it possible to build a frontend for R under the e.u.l.a. or another proprietary licence? Greetings Wilm

Re: [Rd] file.access() on network (mounted) drive on Windows Vista?

2008-12-01 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
It is a 'feature' of Windows Vista. Why not just use tryCatch()? The older version of file.access() used to report access when there was none, so the error have happened both ways. (I think any OS with multiple filesystems potentially has problems like this: we saw them with Unix (Solaris)

We have a local certificate problem on our servers. As a result, fetchmail may not be fetching mails to be processed by the bug tracker. I expect that the problem wil go away by itself fairly soon, but please don't do anything silly (like sending the same report 15 times). -- O__

Re: [Rd] unrelated software install triggering an error from R's install script on Mac OS X 10.5

2008-12-01 Thread Stefan Evert
I guess that we this comparing apples with oranges here: a default R install is leaving binaries in the path when performing a default install, which does not seem to be the case here (therefore forcing a hunt for the executable for the R console and resulting in the present thread).

Dear Prof. Ripley: Thanks very much. It looks like removing the \itemize from within \value should fix the problem, though I haven't fully tested it yet. I previously removed that from Fperm.fd and the problem is fixed there. I haven't yet tested it with tperm.fd and

Dear developers, the tick marks and labels produced by axis.POSIXct look strange for time horizons of a few hours, see the following example: plot(seq(as.POSIXct(14:00,format=%H:%M),as.POSIXct(18:00,format=%H:%M),length.out=20),1:20) This (copypaste error?) is easily fixed, see the
