Hi, S+ users,
In the following, I attemp to find the root of "my.func,"
defined as the difference between "d" and the integration of
a function "weibx" involving an unknown parameter "c".
The purpose is to determine the value of c so that the value of
the integration is equal to the given value d. My attempt failed
with an error message (please see below). I would like to know
if this can be done in Splus. If you have any experiences with
such problem, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.

d-integrate(weibx,0,Inf)[1]

uniroot(my.func,c(1,100))[1]
Error in c * x: Non-numeric first operand
Dumped
