a possible bug in svmlight (PR#8012)
Luke wrote:
Well, it is explicite only for the guru. :)
Let me add a few of points:
1. We already thought about including svmlight, but get stuck there due
to some licensing issues, AFAIR. We might want to force getting there,
though.
2. library(help=klaR) says:
SystemRequirements: SVMlight
?klaR says:
In title: "Interface to SVMlight"
^^^ ^^ ^^
In the arguments section (including a typo that should not matter):
"pathsvm Path to SVMlight binaries (required, if path os unknown by the
OS)."
Gabor already told about the note in the examples.
I will add an explicit section telling people something like "Can only
interface to SVMlight if SVMlight is available". Unfortunately, Rd files
do not have the markup that allows to make it red and blinking. ;-)
3. Please NEVER send bug reports of contributed packages to the bug
tracking system of R. R Core cannot do anything re. contributed
packages, and maintainers of contributed packages cannot mark the bug as
"fixed" in the bug tracking system ...
Instead, please notify the maintainer.

Actually it does. Look in the examples section of ?svmlight On 7/18/05, Luke <jyzz88 at gmail.com> wrote:
If it is true, I wonder why the help page of svmlight doesn't mention this requirement explicitly. -Luke On 7/18/05, Gabor Grothendieck <ggrothendieck at gmail.com> wrote:
The CRAN package does not include the svmlight binaries. Perhaps you installed klaR but not svmlight binaries? You need to place them somewhere on your path. On 7/18/05, jyzz88 at gmail.com <jyzz88 at gmail.com> wrote:
