I am using R on windows XP and I really tried to find the answers to below but
I haven't been succesful.
the two questions are :
1) is there way of seeing what packages you have loaded ( search() gives you
the automatically included ones ).
2) is there a way of uninstalling packages that you have added by accident.
i found the command R CMD REMOVE "package name" and tried it.
first it said it didn't understand perl so installed perl. But, now it
saying that it doesn't understand make ? I think
make is specific to linux but maybe not ?
Thanks a lot.

I am not sure what you mean by `loaded'. Some packages have namespaces, and the namespace can be loaded without the package being attached. For a list of loaded namespaces use loadedNamespaces().> 2) is there a way of uninstalling packages that you have added by accident. > i found the command R CMD REMOVE "package name" and tried it. > > first it said it didn't understand perl so installed perl.

However, remove.packages() inside R will work for you, without Perl or the make tools.> > Thanks a lot. > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html >-- Brian D.

Mark, 1) search() is ok for R on my Windows XP: it shows all the loaded packages. If you want to see all the intalled packages, try library(). 2) try detach(package:nameofpackage) to remove it from seach list. To uninstall it, simply delete its directory that you can see through searchpaths(). 3) nothing to do with Perl or make...
