Hi Sean. Two things. There is a new version of the XML package now on the Omegahat web site: http://www.omegahat.org/RSXML/XML_0.95-3.tar.gz That uses a different approach to dealing with errors and avoids having to redefine the xmlParserError() routine. As a result, one should not need

Duncan is working on this at lower level in the xml package code. As you see on cran with XML version 95-3 which is still not optimal. All will be fixed in few days when Duncan has finished travelling around :)) Btw, it preferable to use libxml2 which builds and configs fine without

[Rd] An artifact of base being namespace

2003-10-09 Thread Saikat DebRoy
Function in the base library of R 1.8.0 seems to use a search path with base coming before the local environment. I think this is intentional and is related to base being a namespace. log - function(x, base) 200 log(1) [1] 200 log10 function (x) log(x, 10) environment: namespace:base
