R 3.0; want to try again?


So with a major new version of R coming along, it seems like a
reasonable point at which to try to pick up the "Let's make a CRAN repo
for the red-hat-like folks!" task again.

The last time I tried to download Pierre-Yves' package, I couldn't get
it to run in RHEL5.8; I went down a rabbit hole trying to make changes
for my own use.  Eventually, I simply failed.

I'd love to be able to pick this up, serve my local customers, and have
the work actually useful to the larger community...

Problem with X11 fonts under Fedora 17.


I previously posted about this problem on the r-help list, but was told 
that I
should switch over to the r-sig-fedora list.  So here goes:

When trying to do a plot in a certain context I got an error:

Error in text.default(2, 6, main, cex = cex) :
   X11 font -adobe-helvetica-%s-%s-*-*-%d-*-*-*-*-*-*-*, face 1 at size 
16 could not be loaded

This is reproducible (in my current environment) via:

par(mfrow=c(2,2))
plot(1:10)
text(2,6,"Oh, hell!",cex=2)

Can anyone tell me (in simple comprehensible terms, please) how I might
make the required font available so that it can be loaded?  I reiterate,
please keep it simple.  I find fonts toadally incomprehensible!

For what it's worth, here is my session info:

Updating R on RHL5

Hi,

I haven't used my system in a while now and wanted to update R.
Running yum update R fails because of missing dependency texinfo-tex
I have installed the EPEL yum repo configurations but
yum install texinfo-tex does not find the package.
How can I install that missing package?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Scientific Linux

Greetings!

I have just signed up to r-sig-fedora because I have
installed Scientific Linux 6.2 (my first Red Hat based
Linux since over 10 years ago ... ). I'm trying this for
basically 2 reasons: first, I expect CERN and FermiLab
should do a good job of maintaining their distribution,
and in particular to take care of its compatibility with
scientific software; second, because it still has Gnome 2 ...

I installed it off the Live DVD from the Scientific Linux
website, and this went very smoothly. However, it does not
of course come in the first instance with any special
scientific software (in in particular not with R).

For extra packages it has been suggested to me to use EPEL
(Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux, not specifically for
Scientific Linux). And there are the CRAN repositories, of
course.

I am now wondering -- and somewhat puzzled -- as to how best
to move forward. At some stage in exploring my installation
(and I cannot now recall how I got there) an information
panel came up which said that it was not possible to add
further package sources to the list of software sources!

So, for instance, it would seem not to be possible to
add a CRAN mirror.

So it looks as though one may be stuck with downloading

SOS! The R Console very quietly closed and exited without giving any errors/warnings...after I loaded the RODBC library...

Hi all,

Please pardon me for seemingly double-post.

I was referred to this r-sig-fedora mailing-list kindly by a member of
r-sig-db mailing-list... because my platform is Red Hat Enterprice.

Thank you!

Help! The R Console very quietly closed and exited without giving any
errors/warnings...after I loaded the RODBC library...

Loading required package: RODBC

R Console closed and exited quietly after loading "RODBC"...

I suspect that's segment fault crash...

but how do I figure out what exactly is the problem? where can I find the
core dump?

Thanks a lot!

(but this doesn't occur when I use R in RStudio...)

tcktk problem with custom R 2.15.0 build on RHEL5

Hi all,

Please bear with me because I'm not all that familiar with R. I manage a 
research cluster that's running Red Hat 5.6 (64-bit), and we recently 
installed version 2.15.0 of R for some users.  Here's how we built it:

./configure --prefix=/opt/shared/R/2.15.0 --with-tcltk --with-system-zlib --with-system-bzlib
--with-system-pcre --with-lapack --enable-R-shlib

When we ran "make check-all" it didn't report any obvious problems, and 
we successfully installed a number of add-on's from CRAN.  But when one 
of our users tries to use R with tcltk he runs into a problem:

Re: Installing texlive dependencies



I did not want to offend anyone, or someone's effort. I wrote that I
tried it with F15, which is a time ago. Sorry if I sounded rude!
Anyway, it could be that TeXLive 2011 is working better now, but the
question remains: R will ask for the dependencies, since TeXLive 2011,
even from repositories, will install in different directory, not the
'/usr/share/texmf'. What to do with this issue?

Thanks!

Re: Installing texlive dependencies



Yes, I tried that alternative repo with F15, but it is quite messy. If
you read carefully various posts, then you will realize that the right
way is to use CTAN installation, not what is offered under Fedora's
umbrella, so to say. TeXLive in Fedora seems to be in a sorrowful state.

Installing texlive dependencies


Hello ALL!
I am running Fedora 16 x86_64. Due to some dubious problems, that i
couldn't resolve, with the TeXLive (2007, which is a default), I removed
it. That removed R as well, and some other dependent packages. Then, I
installed TeXLive 2011 from CTAN. However, when I wanted to install R,
from Fedora's repositories, it asks for some TeX dependencies (for
example, tex-preview, texinfo-tex, texlive, texlive-dvips etc.).
I know that new TeX is installed in other place
(/usr/local/texlive/2011/), than the old, default of the Tex 2007
(/usr/share/texmf/). But, I defined PATH properly:
PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86-64-linux:$PATH
Also, I have tried with the symbolic link:
ln -s /usr/local/texlive/2011 /usr/share/texmf

So, I wonder why R asks for those TeX-packages? Can I tell it where to
look? In any case, how to fix this mess?

Thanks in advance,
Petar
