Re: [Rd] tcl problem with R-3.6.3?

I realized I don't have to do those checks. It was not working again (same error) message when I got home, but after a reboot it worked fine. Of course it has tcl/tk because when it works, it brings up a gui chooser thingy that allows me to choose a CRAN mirror. On Sat, Feb 29, 2020 at 3:33 PM C

Ben, I'll edit and split your question just a little. 1) "Is there a way to get an *exact* ASCII representation of a double-precision value?" 2) "Is there a way to get round-trip behavior, i.e. to make sure that the value, when converted back to double, is identical() to the original" The hex

No. I didn't do any of that and am now at a hockey game. But since I can't reproduce the problem after an Ubuntu online update and reboot, I assume the issue is moot. But I will check these things in an hour or so. On Sat, Feb 29, 2020, 3:24 PM Dirk Eddelbuettel wrote: > > Charles, > > Did you

Charles, Did you try a build of the provided alpha, beta and rc releases made available to allow you to ensure that the released version would build and perform as expected? FWIW the new 3.6.3 made ~ 12 hours ago are already available for Debian, built for the Ubuntu backports at CRAN (thanks t

Thanks guys, I guess I should have referred to FAQ 7.31 (which I am indeed very familiar with) to avoid misunderstanding. I have always used dput() to clarify 7.31-type issues. The description in ?dput implies [to me at any rate] that there will be no floating-point roundoff in its output. I ha

Here's a simpler example that should reproduce that error for you: ans <- utils::select.list(c("hello", "world", "again"), graphics=TRUE) Does it? FYI, I installed R 3.6.3 from source on CentOS 7 a few hours ago, and for me the above works just fine. For your immediate needs of selecting a CR

Hi Robin, In the future, questions like this belong on R-help, not R-devel as it is a basic usage question not a discussion about development of the R language itself or similar. That said, ?dput states a number of times that exact deparsing is not always possible and that dput is not appropriate
