Hi! The installing and updating functions for packages in R (install.package() , update.package()) really impresses me in behavior. For the moment I run R 1.5.1 and got warning messages after installing the "multcomp" package, as it is built under R 1.6.1. Is there any similar smooth ways of updating the R-version as there is for packages? I?ve looked in all places I can think of but can?t find any hints. Thanks /CG CG Pettersson cg.pettersson at evp.slu.se
On what OS? On Windows, see the rw-FAQ Q2.5. As you may need one later than your ancient version of R possesses, look on CRAN or at http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/R/rw-FAQ.html On Wed, 15 Jan 2003, CG Pettersson wrote:> Hi! > The installing and updating functions for packages in R (install.package() , update.package()) really impresses me in behavior. > For the moment I run R 1.5.1 and got warning messages after installing the"multcomp" package, as it is built under R 1.6.1. Is this Windows, then? If so, no wonder: the ReadMe on CRAN does say that the precompiled packages are for rw1060 or later.> Is there any similar smooth ways of updating the R-version as there is for packages?I´ve looked in all places I can think of but can´t find any hints. -- Brian D.

On Windows, just delete the old directory after the new version is successfully installed. In your case, (assuming Windows in an English locale) the old directory would be c:\Program Files\R\rw1051 Cheers Jason -- Indigo Industrial Controls Ltd. 64-21-343-545 jasont at indigoindustrial.co.nz
