[R] install.packages() failed

I use Mac. I installed R with the download from R-project, so R is in /usr/bin/R. My TclTk library is installed via fink (although I don't remember I intentionally installed it) so libtk8.4.dylib is in /sw/lib. I tried to install the HDF5 package from within R: install.packages('hdf5') and

[R] failed installing hdf5 package--can't find zlib

I use Mac, tried to install the package hdf5-1.6. Its configuration script can't find zlib, which apparently exists in my /usr directory. I used R CMD INSTALL --configure-args=--with-hdf5=/sw --configure-args=--with-zlib=/usr hdf5tar.gz It still can't find zlib. Is this a bug? Any pointer

[R] help! installing R on Mac OS X 10.3.9

Question 1: install R..dmg How can I install R in ~/Applications and Rframework in ~/Library, instead of / Library? My preferred behavior is that if I choose /Applications for the app, framework goes into /Library; if I choose ~/Applications, libraries go into ~/Library (and don't ask me root

[R] grid.remove() doesn't remove output

I've found that grid.remove() doesn't clear the output when the grob is the only one on the device (or viewport; I didn't test it). For example: library(grid) grid.newpage() grid.circle(name=cir, x=.5, y=.5, r=.3, gp=gpar(lwd=5)) grid.lines(c(.2, .8), c(.3, .7), name=lin) grid.remove(cir)

[R] problem with grid animation

I'm trying to do animation with grid. Basically it's a vector field, like what 'quiver' in Matlab creates. I need to update it with grid.edit(). It seems grid erases the whole thing first, then redraws. Therefore the evident 'flash' between frames. Any way to avoid this flash? Thanks.

[R] Possible bugs in 'seek' and 'readBin'

I found that seek(..., origin = 'current', ...) and readBin(..., what = 'integer', ...) or 'int' do not work correctly. Did anyone have the same experience? __ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list

Re: [R] Possible bugs in 'seek' and 'readBin'

Sorry I can't provide reproducible code because it involves data files. I saw no warning messages. I'm using Mac 10.3, but the R is compiled by myself from command line. I'm reading in data from a XDR formatted file. The first 4 bytes is a 'long' integer, the remainder is double. --- problem

[R] global option settings for grid and lattice?

Hello, I'd like to be able to set options for grid and lattice globally, once for all subsequent plots, just like what ps.options() does. I walked through the functions of Grid and didn't find it. The following are related things that are available: get.gpar() trellis.par.set() any ideas?
