setwd(Sys.getenv("EDC_HOME")) Dan Daniel Nordlund, PhD Research and Data Analysis Division Services & Enterprise Support Administration Washington State Department of Social and Health Services -----Original Message----- From: R-help [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of Robert in SA Sent: Monday, August 03, 2015 8:12 AM To: r-help@r-project.org Subject: [R] Environmental Data Connector v1.3 Hello. I have "successfully" installed EDC v1.3 on linux ubuntu 14.04. I am running a 64bit machine with R 3.2.1 via Rstudio. I have tried "> example1 <- EDC.get(1)" after loading the ncdf and EDCR libraries, from both the R terminal and Rstudio and get the following result: Error in setwd(paste(Sys.getenv("EDC_HOME"), sep = "")) : cannot change working directory During installation EDC_HOME was set to /home/robert/EDC and the directory definitely exists. Does anyone have any suggestions? -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Environmental-Data-Connector-v1-3-tp4710686.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
