All: I am attempting to allow multiple users on a linux system use some common functions. The problem I am having is that for some users their default library location is .lib.loc = "/usr/lib/R/library" whereas for other users it is .lib.loc = "/usr/local/lib/R/library" It seems as though the packages (for example cluster) load fine if I just change .lib.loc to "usr/lib/R/library" but when I go to run the functions I get additional errors like: Error in .fortran("pam",as.integer(n), ...: C/Fortran function name not in load table I suspect I don't have a clue how to global "synchronize" my linux installation of R so that all users see the same packages (clearly just changing .lib.loc doesn't do the trick), and I have to do it at a "higher" level than the .lib.loc. I think it is likely the whole problem stems from how I installed these packages. Namely being in my personal account as su, starting R, and using the install.packages() {this function is cool to the point of being dangerous}. Maybe I should be running the install.packages option from another directory. Any advice here would also be appreciated. Any suggestions.
