R help - Sep 2013 - FW: Library update from version

Hello,

 

                I recently installed version 3.0.1 of R on to a computer. I
have a working installation for a Statconn application using R version
2.15.0 on another computer. I have many libraries under this old
installation. Can I just copy them into the new library from the old, or do
I install each one of them under the new R? Also how can I get a list of
differences in two libraries so that I can use this list to update the new
one? 

 

                Thank you.

 

Cem

No, you shouldn't do that.

A bit of googling could have provided several answers.

This post in particular has a few answers from some people who know
what they're doing w/ R, so probably a good place to start:
