Is there any way to print out the options that where passed to configure when R was built? I want to build a later version to the one I have on my machine, and I want to build it in...

I have a general question about R's usage or memory and what limits exist on the size of datasets it can deal with. My understanding was that all object in a session are held in memory. This implies that...

I would like to implement a package that contains a C function that writes to a connection. So the R_ext/Connections.h defines what a connection IS, but not how to get one. What seems to work is to...

So in English what you are saying is that there's a file called Makeconf in the etc directory under the R_HOME that contains the information. That certainly seems to be true for Linux. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: G...

I did have a search, but searching for "configure" just brought up loads of results for how to configure R. I'm sure it is in the manual, once you know where to look for it and if you know...

But that's what I want to do, create the connection in R code and pass it on to the C function. My question is, how do I do that? You appear to need the C getConnection entry point, but...

OK. Can I say once more. I'm not after legal advice! That I can get elsewhere! We understand the need for legal advice and so far our legal advice has been sound on other matters. I was simply trying...

I think I've probably got what I need from this thread now ("get legal advice" :-) ). Rest assured for those that are concerned (and thank you for your concern) that we'd get advice if we felt we needed it...

I've looked at various threads on the r-devel archive and it looks like this may have been discussed before, but as far as could tell, not to any great resolution, and not, it seems, specifically covering this angle...

I am employed by World Programming, yes. As I said, I'm not after legal advice. We would clearly get legal advice if we decided to do anything that was outside of the general understanding of the GPL (using a...

I think you're misunderstanding me, or I am you. I'm not wanting to change the license under which R is distributed (though if it is dual licensed to anybody already that would be interesting), simply trying to understand...

So upshot is that I can only do why I want by using the function that's not part of the api, or just not using connections at all and just using normal C file io, opened from C, and...

I was going by the stated intention of the R foundation (to hold and administer the copyright for R software and documentation), but it doesn't make any odds really, I'm not wanting to change the license terms, as...
