similar to: MacOS X: update.packages(type="mac.binary") fails (PR#7831)

Message 2 of today: it works now. After re-installing R.app from the same R-2.1.0.dmg file, and fixInNamespace'ing(*) install.packages(), I managed to update 23 outdated packages from CRAN binaries for MacOS X. What I did was to: 1. change call to .install.macbinaries() into call to install.binaries() in install.packages(). install.binaries() is a function defined utils/R/aqua/GUI.R. 2. I

Dear Mr Moderator, please let me through. I want to reply to my own thread. I once subscribed to this list, but then my subscription was not accepted. Now to the business: The final failure came from missing .install.macbinary() function. I grepped R-patched sourcesand the only instance of .install.macbinary() was the call to the function in R- patched/src/library/utils/R/packages2.R (stupid

I realize that others have struggled with this issue...i.e. http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/05/01/9826.html i am on os.x 10.4 w/ R2.2, and am (perhaps foolishly) also on this quest... i would like to be able to install downloaded source (tar.gz'd) files from within an R session, and have it work in a X-platform way..i am often not connected to the internet and have libraries

To Whom It May Concern: I need to use various packages in R and I also want to use Textmate. Problem 1: Textmate doesn't seem to recognize the packages that are already installed on R. Problem 2: When I execute the following command: install.packages("ade4", repos="http://cran.r-project.org", contriburl = contrib.url(

O/S: Linux R version : 2.2.1 The R server doesn't have http internet access. And the sys admins will not install the R libraries that I requested. So I have downloaded the packages that I want to intall and have moved them into my home directory on the server. These are a series of *.tar.gz files. I want to install the R libraries in my home directory, but I can't get it to work.

I'm trying to update my Matrix package given the update last night. But the following error is generated. I've tried restarting R and deleting my old Matrix package.

Hello all, This may be aimed for r-devel, but I encountered this as an R-user and not an R-developer so I start here (having said that, please direct me to R-devel if you think this is appropriate. I am not cross- posting, as I believe this is bad netiquette). I am a recent, but extremely happy R-user (especially after getting my own copy of MASS 2002). My adventures started when I wanted

Hi, I am having trouble installing a previous version of a package, and multiple version of the package in R 2.12 or 2.15.

R-devel, SVN revision 35729 (this morning, euro-time) So far, I'm having awful luck with the "installWithVers" flags. Recent example: I can install.packages("lattice", installWithVers=TRUE) successfully (no errors, at least it looks like a successful install), but can't load it: Error in library.dynam(pkg,pkg,lib) : shared library 'lattice_0.12-7' not found
