That is a snapshot: we are working on the `platform independent' code right now. Please be patient: snapshots can be unstable.
1).It looks like ".so" is still hardwired in the source code. in src/main/platform.h all "Unix" systems get the ".so" extention. I had to #ifdef hpux and add ".sl".
Rather, it is hardwired again.
4). library(help = eda) gets me
Error: No documentation for package `eda'
This seems to be happening because system.file("INDEX", help, lib.loc)
That was an incorrect call in 0.64. It needs named arguments:
file <- system.file("INDEX", pkg = help, lib = lib.loc)
in library returning NULL. debugging system.file show that present <- file.exists(FILES) gets FALSE. FILES=
"/home/absd00t/local/lib/R/library/eda/INDEX//home/absd00t/local/lib/R/library"
if just execute
file.exists("/home/absd00t/local/lib/R/library/eda/INDEX")
then it returns TRUE. (I know the help files and INDEX are all out
there). Any idea why this library overall help is not working? Help on
idividual items is working OK. So are the dynamically loaded libs.
system.file function seems to be different than in 0.63.1.
Yes. Basically the new system.file() did not work as documented: it now does AFAIK but I have been tracking down all the incorrect uses, and got this one a few hours ago. From the current state:
library(help = eda)
