| Hi Dirk,
|

Cool.
|
| 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
Well I never use these 'versioned' paths myself...
| 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.
In this case you need to rebuild littler from source. These env.vars are turned
into
run-time constants.
Dirk
| Thanks,
| Kingsley
