Hello, I am on win98 with R1.4 from BDR I have a directory structure like this c:\R\RW1040 c:\R\R_CRAN\Library C:\R\R_SRC\Library so Y put the new versions of R in RW... and I download the packages from CRAN into R=R_CRAN\library so they do not change from R version to version, R\R_SRC is for packages from other places than CRAN or for my own things Now if when R starts I say> library()I get the list of packages in RW1040\library. If I add> .libPaths("c:/r/r_cran/library")[1] "c:/r/r_cran/library" "C:/R/RW1040/library"> library()Error in cbind(unlist(lapply(x, "[[", 1)), unlist(lapply(x, function(t) paste(t[-c(1, : attempt to set an attribute on NULL>and any attempt to load a package from R_CRAN fails. Before I used to have a lib.loc line in RW...\etc\R.profile where i set the paths to r\r_cran\library and r\r_src\library, what is the procedure now? If I try to use .lib.loc<-c('''') I get the same answer. Thanks for any help. -- R.
