WinXP, R 2.10.1 I just updated R, and now have trouble. Perhaps it was the method I used to keep all the packages. I copied all the new packages from 2.10.1 back into the 2.10.0 folder, then copied them and all the others I've previously added from the 2.10.0 folder and pasted them back into 2.10.1's appropriate folder. Is this the source of my troubles? I am trying unsuccessfully to open RcmdrPlugin.IPSUR from within Rcmdr, via the pulldown tools menu. It insists I restart Rcmdr, which I let happen, then Rcmdr doesn't restart, and then I can not restart it using R's package loading function either. Please excuse the vast amount of text, below - I don't know what is and isn't relevant.

I will have to boot into Windows later this evening to investigate, but in the meantime you may want to post your sessionInfo(). I have run RcmdrPlugin.IPSUR on R-2.10.1, Windows XP, as recently as yesterday during class without any problems. Gotta go for now. Jay -- *************************************************** G.

Loading them in the following order Rcmdr.IPSUR Rcmdr.HH will work. Inverting the order will make Commander() fail to restart. You might want to experiment this in an R --vanilla session. Liviu
Dear Brian,
R for Windows FAQ item 2.8
<http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#What_0027s-the-best-
way-to-upgrade_003f> describes how to upgrade R. What you did seems similar
to one of the suggestions there, so I'm not sure why it didn't work. You
might try uninstalling R 2.10.1, removing all of the packages in the
library, reinstalling R 2.10.1, and then installing the Rcmdr and all of its
dependencies via install.packages("Rcmdr", dependencies=TRUE),
followed by
reinstalling RcmdrPlugin.IPSUR and whatever else you want. With a fast
Internet connection, that shouldn't take more than, say, a half hour.
One other thing: It appears to me that you're using the development version
of the car package from R-Forge rather than the current version on CRAN.
That won't work at present with the Rcmdr package, though it shouldn't
produce the error that report.
I hope this helps,
John
