customising installed libraries

Dear all, it's called a *package* which is installed within a library. The "file" you are talking about is called NAMESPACE. It is used to configure whether a package has a namespace and which functions are exported etc. > where public functions can be entered.
I by myself do not know much more. There are more info in the R-ext.pdf (R extensions).
Right, that manual is called "Writing R Extensions".
Probably you have to add your new function name to this file. Eryk
Why do you edit code in a binary version of a package? Either use your own pacakges to add functionality or, if really required, change the code of other packages in the packages' sources and install from sources again (preferably under a different name in order not to mess up with the original package).

I had quit q() R, reloaded and loaded ipred anew. Trying detach(package:ipred) makes no difference. I added a few pointless lines to one existing function and can see these when I call the function, passing no parameters. thats why i was assuming it was an R thing. is this just some mysterious problem with my computer/ setup/ files?? not R?? -----Original Message----- From: Wolski To: Stephen Henderson Cc: 'r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch' Sent: 1/22/04 1:58 PM Subject: Re: [R] customising installed libraries Have you executed first detach(package:library) before loading the library again?

hello I am returning to some libraries that I had previously customised by amongst other things adding additional functions. I had simply typed these new functions into the file in library/R/thelibrary. These however do not

to be loaded now as they previously were under older versions of R. What's changed and what do i need to do? Thanks Stephen ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are
