Hi, I keep getting the error message and a pop-up window for selecting CRAN mirror server from Rgui.exe after setting the R_Libs Warning in install.packages(necessary[!installed], dep = T) : argument 'lib' is missing: using 'D:/Program Files/R/R-2.8.0.libs' --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- Error in contrib.url(repos, type) : I set the command

Hi, On my laptop, R is installed on windows XP SP2 at D:\Program Files\R\R-2.8.0, and all add-on packages are installed at D:\Program Files\R\R-2.8.0.libs. In addition, I have created two environment enviroment to ease upgrading and installation of packages. Packages installed is a mix of those from CRAN, Bioconductor and local zips.

Hi, I have Debian Testing running on a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon (2015, 3rd gen.). I would like to have a package library independent of the installed R version. Under Ubuntu, I used to have the following line in ~/.Renviron: R_LIBS=/usr/local/R/library:/usr/lib/R/site-library This worked fine and /usr/local/R/library showed up in .libPaths(). However, under Debian (with the same ~/.Renviron),

Hi there, I'm in the following directory: ~/Documents/Rstuff/diceFiles/dice_1.1 The directory "dice" is in this directory, with all the usual build files (DESCRIPTION, NAMESPACE, etc). I'm trying to run the following command: R CMD check dice (where "dice" is the name of the package I'm checking), and I get the following: * checking package dependencies ...

Dear Johannes, Dear Dirk, Thanks a lot for helping. Here is the missing information. Here is how I installed R. This is basically how Martin Maechler showed me to install R under Ubuntu (in several versions so that they are also recognized by ESS). My goal is to adjust this to make it work for Debian: 1) sudo emacs /etc/apt/sources.list # then add: deb

I'm trying to step through some code using browser(), executing one line at a time. Unfortunately, whenever I execute a comment line, the browser exits. I previously reported a similar problem with blank lines. These problems are a strong incentive to write poor code -- uncommented code with no blank lines to improve readability -- so that I can use browser() without it exiting at

Hello, I'm having some trouble trying to set the .libPaths() on Windows 7, R-2.15.0 and R-2.15.1. The environment variables R_LIBS and R_LIBS_USER are set according to the help page for .libPaths() and the Rprofile.site file has the default setting, as shown below. R-2.14.1 recognizes the lib paths but not R-2.15. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? (I've also tried with

Hi, > update.packages(ask='graphics') gives me multiple warning (one per updated package?) similar to ...

Good day, I believe from the documentation that folders in R_LIBS should appear in the output of .libPaths, but they do not. The documentation contains "The library search path is initialized at startup from the environment variable R_LIBS ..." However, $ export R_LIBS=/users/stgrad/dario/tmp/ $ Rscript -e ".libPaths()" [1] "/dskh/nobackup/biostat/Bioconductor"

Hi, Back in June I posted the message below, but had no replies. I've made a little progress since then so this is to update anyone interested (!) and to ask for comments. Brief problem statement: Under Windows, some parts of R don't handle UNC paths beginning with backslashes. Specifically a) Sys.glob() fails to find some files breaking (e.g.) Rcmdr plugins

I want my local libraries to have priority over the system installed ones, which, as far as I can make out from help(".libPaths"), means they have to come first in that list (it doesn't actually_say_ so, but that seems to be the idea). We have R_LIBS_USER which looks made for specifying where I keep my own libraries. Unfortunately it comes last in .libPaths() [which appears to

Hello: I'm having problems creating a real NAMESPACE to replace the pro forma one in the fda package on R-Forge. "R CMD check" complains, "Error: package 'zoo' could not be loaded ... there is no package called 'zoo'"; see below. I get this both with and without "import(zoo)" in NAMESPACE. Suggestions? Thanks,

Hi, I've just downloaded the latest R v2.5.0 alpha (2007-04-04 r41043) for WinXP. When I try to install a package R tries to install it to a no-name (empty name) directory (causing error downstream): RCMD INSTALL R.oo installing to '' FYI: Package install perfectly on R v2.4.1 patched, and did so also on earlier R v2.5.0 devel/alpha(?) versions. Current directory is: C:\tmp with

library() seems to remember the location of a package when I give it a lib.loc, and then use that version thereafter, even if I don't supply lib.loc again. Is there any way I can load different versions of a package in one R session? -- I don't seem to able to simply detach the package and then load a different version from a different library location. $ R [...startup info...] >
