Evening gents: First to quickly try and set the scene.
I run R on Linux Mint 19.3. I had version 3.5 installed, but wanted to try and upgrade to 4.1. So... I deleted all R stuff I could find, setup the software sources file, and tried to install. Didn't work. I suppose it needs a more recent edition of Mint. Backpedalled as best I could. Now 3.5 was uncooperative. Finally found some notes describing how to install 3.6. That worked. So now I again have a functioning copy of R, with a current edition of Rstudio as my principle access tool. Adding pkgs through the software manager doesn't seem to be work, but as long as I fire it up using the sudo command I can add them through Rstudio. The puzzle comes at the end of an install round. It seems I may have taken out something I shouldn't have as I get the following warning. Warning messages: 1: In readLines(file, skipNul = TRUE) : cannot open compressed file '/usr/lib/R/site-library/labelled/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such file or directory' 2: In readLines(file, skipNul = TRUE) : cannot open compressed file '/usr/lib/R/site-library/TH.data/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such file or directory' I'm not really sure. I assume I got sloppy withe deletions. I ask for assistance to solve this. What does it mean? What can I do to correct the error? Thanks in advance. ttyl... -- Brian Lunergan Pavillon Marionville Russell, Ontario Canada
