R-help, I recently updated R from 2.13.0 to 2.13.1 (32-bit Windows version) and now have a problem updating packages. I am running Windows 7 as operating system. As the FAQ suggests, I uninstalled 2.13.0 before installing 2.13.1. On first opening R, I ran "update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE, ask=FALSE) ras also recommended and selected the NS Cran mirror. On doing this the following error

update.packages(checkBuilt = TRUE) fails with: > update.packages(checkBuilt = TRUE) rpanel : Version 1.0-6 installed in /usr/lib64/R/library built under R 2.15.0 Version 1.1-1 available at http://mirrors.softliste.de/cran Update (y/N/c)? y trying URL 'http://mirrors.softliste.de/cran/src/contrib/rpanel_1.1-1.tar.gz' Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 702508 bytes (686

It looks like stderr is used (e.g. via cat()) when the message is part of querying the user, e.g. update.packages <- function(lib.loc = NULL,

Hi I just upgraded my R from stabel/etch from 2.4.x to 2.6.2 via sudo apt-get install r-base which worked fine, installing all dependencies From R, as root, I did update.packages() but a number of packages packages failed to install, either for missing gfortran or missing dependencies.
