R help - Jan 2014 - install ggplot2

Hi Dear helper,


I installed Rx643.0.2 on my windows 7 Enterprise computer, and I installed all
the packages as well. However, when I tried to use ggplot2 package with the
commend library("ggplot2",
lib.loc="C:/Users/JXD043/Documents/R/win-library/3.0"), I got the
following error message:" Error in library("ggplot2", lib.loc =
"C:/Users/JXD043/Documents/R/win-library/3.0") :
  there is no package called 'ggplot2'

Then I tried to reinstall the package with install.packages("ggplot2")

The message I got is : Installing package into
'C:/Users/JXD043/Documents/R/win-library/3.0'
(as 'lib' is unspecified)
trying URL
'http://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/contrib/3.0/ggplot2_0.9.3.1.zip'
Content type 'application/zip' length 2657708 bytes (2.5 Mb)
opened URL
downloaded 2.5 Mb

package 'ggplot2' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
Warning in install.packages :
  cannot remove prior installation of package 'ggplot2'

The downloaded binary packages are in
        C:\Users\JXD043\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpuIVA2s\downloaded_packages
So I extracted the files into the folder, however, I still can't get the
library work.

Please help me and let me know what can I do to fix it.

Thanks!

Jie DAI

Hard to say. Read the Posting Guide for useful suggestions on getting help,
including providing the output of sessionInfo() and avoiding HTML formatted
emails because what you see is not what we see.

I suggest you delete the ggplot2 subdirectory in your win-library directory and
try the

install.packages("ggplot2")

command again. If you have installed packages while running R "As
Administrator" then you may have permissions problems on your win-library
directory and need to delete it ("As Administrator") and reinstall R.
