[R] RE2: Suddenly "Subscript out of bounds"
If you tell me how to update R itself automatically, I will go for your advice. I am not aware of any method to do it...

Basically, it runs like this: Sys.getenv("http_proxy") update.packages(ask=F,repos="http://cran.r-project.org") (the http_proxy environment variable is set prior to the call). All of a sudden, I started to get this error: Error in inherits(x, "factor") : subscript out of bounds I have no clue about what this means. Is "factor" a buggy package? Clearly, that kind of things can happen when you just update things automatically... Any help with be appreciated!

Roderick, I'm not suggesting that you need a script to update R automatically. I don't think it is possible to do that. I just was wondering why you are so eager to update all the packages daily, but still are working with an outdated version of R. Myself, I tend to check the R lists for new updates on R and it's packages. Thierry ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- ir.
