I am having trouble with the library function of R Version 1.5.0 for Mac
OS X Carbon when I try to load libraries that did not come with the R
installation. For example, I put the Biobase library from
bioconductor.org in the 'library' folder. R cannot find it, even though
it can find the pre-installed libraries:
> library() # this lists standard libraries such as 'boot', but does
not
list 'Biobase'
> library('boot') # this loads 'boot'
> library('Biobase')
Error in library("Biobase") : There is no package called `Biobase'
I think I need to somehow install the new library like I did with the
Mac UNIX version of R, but I don't know how to do this with the Carbon
version. I would appreciate any help with this.
Sincerely,
David Bickel

Stefano Iacus sent me a working copy of the methods library, so the problem has been solved. David http://www.mcg.edu/research/biostat/bickel.html David R.

Is this a pre-compiled package? Installing a source package in the 'library' folder of the Carbon R installation will not work since the documentation, etc. have not been built. I don't know if Bioconductor is distributing pre-compiled Macintosh packages.... -roger _______________________________ UCLA Department of Statistics rpeng at stat.ucla.edu http://www.stat.ucla.edu/~rpeng On Mon, 10 Jun 2002, David R.
