Subject: some questions!
Hello Dear Ko-Kang Wang:
I am trying to compile R v 1.6.1 .
I am following the C:\R-1.61\src\gnuwin32\INSTALL file,
and the chapter 4 of your book.
But I have some questions:
1. When I run the "make" command for the first time there appears
several warning messages of
something about "defined but no used", but when I "make" a second
time there is no more
warning messages... Is that normal in the compilation process?
This is new. I've never seen this before. Was there any error messages?
2. When I use the command "make docs" it shows me many messages like this:
"\Underfull \hbox (badness XXX) in paragraph at line xxxx-xxxx"
"\Overfull \hbox (10.50755pt to wide) in paragraph at lines 308-309"
Im using the TEX from fptex version 0.6 from ftp.dante.de/pub/fptex.
What Im I missing on the TEX software?
Do I better use MIKTEX?
How do I configure the TEX?
I think either fptex or MikTeX will be fine. From memory it shows up on my screen too and I'm using MikTeX.
3. How can I make the change from foo_*.tar.gz to foo.tgz with one line
command?
Should I rename each one file by file?
mv foo_*.tar.gz foo.tgz mv.exe is in Prof. Ripley's tools.zip.
4. Why some precompiled zip packages (downloaded form the cran site)
have the following error
when you try to use the data with the data() function it appears the
following message:
Error in file(file, "r") : unable to open connection
In addition: Warning message:
cannot open file `ibm.txt'
I am typing:
library(waveslim)
data(ibm)
I don't have this problem. How did you installed the package? Try to install it from Rgui, Packages -> Install Packages from CRAN... , then select waveslim. I just tried it and it worked fine for me.
