A quick question. I am trying to understand how I could move the installed packages in my R 2.3 version to the newly installed R 2.5 version, without having to install all the packages again. I copied the files under the old library subdirectory to the new library subdirectory. But still the newer version is not recognizing the packages that were copied over. Thanks.

try
RSiteSearch("update packages")
and
RSiteSearch("update packages")
and you will find threads like these:

And following the posting guide [see below] is good advice.

Is R not loading the packages at all (like they were never installed), or perhaps it is complaining that they were build on the older version of R? You have to be more specific here about what happens etc. For now try running update.packages and see if it fixes the problem. I would also suggest keeping all the additional packages (beyond R base installation) in the separate library tree -- less work every time you update R.
