R help - Apr 2022 - ggplot2

Richard,

probably what you want.

cheers.

Hi Greg,

That command downloaded ggplot2_3.3.5.tar.gz and scales.1.1.1.tar.gz on my
hard-drive and left warning messages:

installation of package(s) "scales' (and) 'ggplot2' had
non-zero exit status;

I attempted tarring the files inside R and that appeared to fix the issue but
entering the command library("ggplit2") R told me the package didn?t
exist.

Thanks for the help,?

Richard?

i would guess, that's where you need to investigate, figure out why the
install didn't work.  one *possible* reason is that R is trying to
install the libraries to the system-wide library directory, and you
don't have permission to install there.  but, there are a multitude of
other possible failures.

you might start by this: are you able to install other packages?  if
not, you should look in one direction; if so, in another.

sadly, i don't know what that means.

good luck with the debugging!

cheers, Greg
