[R-sig-Debian] translation from windows to linux

[Christoph Knapp]

Thanks the first question was answered by Mathieu. Let me rephrase the first question. If I have a R script written under windows I encounter sometimes the problem that function names are not the same as in linux. See  zip.unpack which works perfectly under windows but not under linux. Is there a better method to find functions named different in different OS than asking the mailing list?

When I encounter a function which is not in R linux what is the best way to find the right linux function for it? So next time I can help myself. I browsed the web for a long time and could not find anything to the the function

It would be helpful if you could say exactly what the situation is in
which you get the error.  You refer to R linux and ask for linux
functions, which sounds as if you want an OS leve function call.
I think you mean that while in R you have some code that calls a
function, and the function is undefined.

if that's the offending function, where did the code that invoked it
come from?
