Based on the feedback received, I did the following: a) moved my lib sub-directory from the existing installed R version to c:\myRLib b) installed the updated R version c) created .Renviron file in the home directory (C:\R-2.5.1) with the line R_LIBS=c:/myRLib d) used .libPaths() command to confirm that the new R installation was recognizing the myRLib sub-directory e) deleted my old R installation Things worked fine. Thanks you. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Raghu Naik <naik.raghu@gmail.com> Date: Jun 2, 2007 5:13 PM Subject: Updating R version To: r-help@stat.math.ethz.ch 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.

This sounds like a solution I've been looking for. With this setup now in place, when you download and install some new packages, where will they be put? Into C:\myRlib ?

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: John C Frain <frainj at gmail.com> Date: 13-Jul-2007 22:30 Subject: Re: [R] THANK YOU: Updating R version To: "Christopher W. Ryan" <cryan at binghamton.edu> When I update R the following has worked for me (Windows XP) 1. Install the new version to a new directory (say C:\Program Files\R\R-2.5.1). 2 Rename the new library subdirectory to library2. 3 Copy the entire contents of the old library subdirectory (say C:\Program Files\R\R-2.4.0\library\ to the new R root to create C:\Program Files\R\R-2.5.1\library\ . 4 Copy the contents of library2 to library to update your basic library. 5 Now start your new version of R and update packages from the GUI or from the R console. (You may need to firs check Rprofile .site to ensure that no packages have been loaded) 6. On occasion I have got warning messages when I tried to load packages after this procedure. This has been cleared by running update.packages(checkBuilt = TRUE) This checks that your packages have been built with the latest version. When I do this I agree to install all available updates. 7 You may wish to copy various autoloads etc from your old Rprofile.site to your new Rprofile.site. I understand that there are some compatibility problems with 2.5.1 and SciViews so be careful. Best Regards John On 13/07/07, Christopher W.
