Hello everybody,

  I want to use Rapidr package, it is an old package that uses the
package requires GenomicRanges version 1.14.4. The current version of the
package is GenomicRanges 1.20.6. There is some way of having both the
actual and the previous packages installed? I tried to install the package
locally, but I had problems with dependences, how can I deal with it? Would
be possible have both versions installed and choose which one to use?

To some extent you can do this by having different versions of packages installed in different libraries (directories), say "Lib1" and "Lib2", and then issuing commands of the form

   library(foo,lib.loc="Lib1")

or

   library(foo,lib.loc="Lib2")

However having different dependencies might mess up this strategy. I dunno. Perhaps younger and wiser heads will contribute some more definitive advice.

Also my experience with this strategy is under a Linux OS. If you are running Windoze (as you probably are --- you didn't say) who knows what will go wrong?

cheers,

Rolf Turner
