Hi, I installed R on USB-drive, but when I run Rgui.exe from bin folder, I get this error: ----------------------- R version 2.10.1 (2009-12-14) Copyright (C) 2009 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing ISBN 3-900051-07-0 R is free software and comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

I run R off a flash drive. I just copy the directory that it was installed on my hard drive to the flash drive and things work fine.

How can I fix this?Does R know where to find its packages? Can you say .libPaths() and tell us what the output is? And where is the actual install of ...\library\stats? -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard ?ster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.

The answer is:> .libPaths()[1] "E:/R/R-2.10.1/library" stats package is found under .../library/ I tried Jim's suggestion and copied R-2.10.1 directory from C:\Program Files\R\ into USB-disk, and everything seems to work fine. Re-istallation did not help.
