Unbundling gregmisc (was: loading gap package)
I have one comment, although it is a little off topic.
I have the gregmisc package installed (R-2.0.1 on Win2000). Whenever I use
the help.search function it comes back with the following warning:
Warning message:
no Rd contents for package 'gregmisc' in 'C:/local/R/rw210/library' in:
help.search("bundle")
Apparently, the help.search function looks for the CONTENTS file in the
.../library/gregmisc directory. I created an empty one and the warning
went away. I know it is purely cosmetic, but if the gregmisc bundle is
kept intact, and I think it should, I would suggest adding the empty
CONTENTS file to its distribution.
Perhaps there is a better way of handling this. For example, VR is a
bundle but it does not create its VR directory in .../library.

[R] Unbundling gregmisc (was:
loading gap package)
Let me redirect the topic a bit. I've been considering unbundling
gregmisc.
The pro would be that people would find the component packages (i.e. gdata)
more easily. The con is that the packages have a number of
interdependencies, so you pretty much will need to get most of them anyway.
As the latest gregmisc bundle contains a gregmisc package that is just a
stub that depends on and loads the individual packages, there would still
be
a gregmisc object.
Comments?

Dear R users, I did install R. 2.0.1, and try to load "gap"

Can anybody please let me know my mistakes? ----

Let me read the error message for you: "There is no package 'gdata'" simply means the package is not
there... So what about installing it? Hint: it is part of the package bundle "gregmisc".
I have a similar problem with R 2.1.0 on Mac OSX 10.3.9.
library(gregmisc)
Loading required package: gdata Error: package 'gdata' could not be loaded In addition: Warning message: there is no package called 'gdata' in: library(pkg,
character.only =
TRUE, logical = TRUE, lib.loc = lib.loc) At first I tried getting this gdata from somewhere else,
but I could
not find it (evidence indicated that it is part of the
gregmisc, as I
suspected originally... You email confirms this...) (For the record, my goal is to get read.xls, which is part (?) of
gdata)
The current version of gregmisc is 2.0.6. That does contain gdata.
It looks to me as if the MacOS X binary is broken (2kb) so you will
need to install from the sources.
Thank you. I had the current version (binary). Reinstalling from source fixed the issue.... Costas
I think we have been here before: it seems the MacOS X binary
packaging does not work for bundles. --
