similar to: .libPaths(new) stopped working in 2.10

I was flummoxed for a long time by errors generated when I did something like install.packages(foo,lib="Rlib") where ``Rlib'' is my personalized directory of R packages, which lives in my home directory (from which I started R before issuing the foregoing install.packages() call. Recently someone (I forget who, but thanks very much to whomever it was) pointed out that I

There appears to be a bug in help() when there are multiple packages attached containing functions with the same name, and offline=TRUE. Example: library(mgcv) library(gam) If one simply does: help(gam) # No ``offline=TRUE'' then the following message appears: Help on topic 'gam' was found in the following packages: Package Library mgcv

I tried to search for a string of words ``as one entity'' following the example in the help file: > RSiteSearch("{logistic regression}") and got the error message: 2008-09-11 08:55:41.356 open[823] No such file: /Users/rturner/http:/ search.r-project.org/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query={logistic+regression}

I recently tried to install the latest version of spatstat, from CRAN, using the install.packages() function. It proceeded to install version 1.17-5 of spatstat, although the current version is 1.18-4. Checking the CRAN mirror that I used (New Zealand) via Firefox, I found that version 1.18-4 is indeed present on CRAN. I was able to download and install version 1.18-4 ``manually''

I've just installed version 1.4.0 of R, and am experiencing a puzzling phenomenon with the library() function. I have .lib.loc set as follows: > .lib.loc [1] "/usr/local/lib/R/library" "/home/faculty/rolf/Rlib" If I invoke > library(melvin) I get the error message Error in library(melvin) : There is no package called `melvin' but if I invoke >

Hi, Sorry for posting a question that has been asked before but I couldn't quite find the right answer in previous help topics. I am trying to set my library path to a user-specified library ("C:/Users/K/Documents/Work/RLib"). I have used .libPaths("C:/Users/K/Documents/Work/RLib") but when I check the .libPaths(), both the user-specified and default libraries appear. It

Our lab has a lot of different unix boxes, with different hardware, and I'm assuming (perhaps wrongly) that by setting a per-user package installation directory, the packages will only work on one type of hardware. Our systems are all set up to share the same home directory (and, thus, the same .Renviron file) -- so, is there a way to set, in the .Renviron file, per-computer or

Hello I use the function .libPaths() > .libPaths() [1] "/usr/local/lib/R/library" > .libPaths(c("/usr/local/lib/myRlib","/usr/local/lib/library")) > .libPaths() [1] "/usr/local/lib/R/library" but it simply does not pick up the new path. Can anybody help? (The problem originates from the inability to install packages into

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi I am sure I am missing something really basic, but I can't figure it out. I want to start R so that I can specify the location for the Library tree. In principel simple: As I only want it dependent on the directory I stat R in, I put a .Rprofile file in the directory. My default path is: > .libPaths() [1]

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"

Good day, If the library path is changed with .libPaths, the command install.packages("/nb/dario/Biostrings_2.39.9.tar.gz", repos=NULL) fails with ** testing if installed package can be loaded Error : package ?S4Vectors? required by ?Biostrings? could not be found However, running library(S4Vectors) followed by sessionInfo() after the error shows that the package can indeed be

In an elderly version of ``plotSymbols'' (now in the cwhmisc package) that I had lying around, there was the example plot(1:10,xlab="\374") which the comments said would give a u-umlaut as the x-axis label. When I execute this plot (a) I get no x-axis label at all, and (b) the plot ``freezes'' in that further plotting commands (e.g. plot(runif(42))) produce no

High, on all of my computers the first entry in libPaths for root was /usr/lib64/R/library or /usr/lib/R/library.

Hi, TL;DR ----- I define the path /cm/shared/apps/R/site-library/3.4.2 and add it to libPath. Why does libPath then display it as /cm/shared/apps/R/site-library/3.4 ? Long version ------------ I run a cluster of diskless nodes for which the OS is loaded directly into RAM and other software is provided by an NFS server. However, in the case of R, we use the R version provided

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

Reproducible example: dir.create("test") .libPaths("test") install.packages("relations", type = "source") Fails with: ... * installing *source* package ?relations? ... ... ** testing if installed package can be loaded *** arch - i386 Error : package ?sets? required by ?relations? could not be found Error: loading failed Execution halted *** arch - x86_64

When I create a manual for a package that I create and use locally, e.g. via R CMD Rd2dvi --pdf foo where ``foo'' is the name of the directory containing the source for the package (also named ``foo'') the resulting manual does not appear to have an index. The package.pdf files appearing on CRAN all seem to have indices. What must I do to get an index appended to the

I'm getting an error when applying all.equal() to objects of class POSIXt. E.g. x <- strptime(rep("2007-02-12",10),format="%Y-%m-%d") all.equal(x,x) Error in target[[i]] : subscript out of bounds The object seems to have to be of double-digit length to trigger the error. E.g. all.equal(x[1:9],x[1:9]) returns TRUE. I did a cursory search of the r-help pages and

I have not intentionally set R_LIBS_USER. I looked for an Renviron.site file but did not see it in R/etc or my home directory. The strange part is that if I print Sud.getenv I see a value for R_LIBS_USER. However, this directory is not showing under libPaths. I though .libPaths should contain R_LIBS_USER. I also noticed that R related variables are not in the system or user variables because I
