Package: littler
Version: 0.1.3-1
Severity: normal
Hi Dirk,
I'm happy to report that r has proven to be a
versatile addition to my shell scripts.
I'd like to humbly report an anomaly.
It seems to me that r is looking for libraries in
an old path.
I recently upgraded from version 2.10 of R to 2.12.
However,
$ r -e 'print(.libPaths())'
showed that r was still looking in
/home/kingsley/R/i486-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.10
I noticed this when I did
$ r -e 'library(the_name_of_a_library_in_2.12_goes_here)'
r reported
Error in library(the_name_of_a_library_in_2.12_goes_here) : there is no
package called 'the_name_of_a_library_in_2.12_goes_here'
Execution halted
It seems to me that r should look in the 2.12
subdirectory named
/home/kingsley/R/i486-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.12
Reinstalling the littler package didn't solve the
problem, nor did removing the 2.10 subdirectory.
I ran r with the strace utility to see if it
opened a file pointing it to the old path.
However, it seems to have opened
/usr/lib/R/etc//Renviron
which says
R_LIBS_USER=${R_LIBS_USER-'~/R/i486-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.12'}
which looks right to me.
I was unable to ascertain where r got the 2.10
from.
I'd be interested in your informed thoughts.
Thanks,
Kingsley
