On Vista my R installation is in C:\Program Files\R\R-2.6.0
and there is a library here: %userprofile%\Documents\R\win-library\2.6 If I use the GUI Packages menu to update my library it works ok _except_ for any packages such as lattice and the VR bundle that come with R. For those I get this (this is what I got when I tried to update lattice but I get a similar message for the VR bundle as well): > update.packages(ask='graphics') --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- Warning in install.packages(update[instlib == l, "Package"], l, contriburl = contriburl, : 'lib = "C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-26~1.0/library"' is not writable Error in install.packages(update[instlib == l, "Package"], l, contriburl = contriburl, : unable to install packages I am using R-2.6.1 (even though the directory says 2.6.0) since I tend to write over the prior directory if its just an upgrade involving the last digit of the R version. > R.version.string [1] "R version 2.6.1 Patched (2007-12-06 r43610)" How should I go about updating lattice and the VR bundle? ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
