Hi, Is it possible to install packages without the testing if installed package can be loaded? I need to install bunch of packages on multiple computers over ssh. Some packages witch interact with X11 display cannot be installed in this way. for example after: > install.packages('cairoDevice',dep=T) I get (...) *** installing help indices ** building package indices ... ** testing if installed package can be loaded Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'cairoDevice', details: call: fun(...) error: GDK display not found - please make sure X11 is running ERROR: loading failed * removing ‘/usr/local/lib64/R/library/cairoDevice’ * restoring previous ‘/usr/local/lib64/R/library/cairoDevice’
The downloaded packages are in ‘/tmp/Rtmpk1XxTl/downloaded_packages’ Updating HTML index of packages in '.Library' Warning message: In install.packages("cairoDevice", dep = T) : installation of package 'cairoDevice' had non-zero exit status When I connect with remote computer using ssh -X r...@nod1 to enable X11 forwarding then installation works without problems. This would however require manually connect with each administred computer a do the installation. cssh which I use now to install packages on multiple computers does not enable X11 forwarding. I have also tested installation using R CMD INSTALL with --no-test-load options but the packages are loaded unsuccesfully anyway. So is it possible to turn of package testing?
