Dear Brian, R for Windows FAQ item 2.8 <http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#What_0027s-the-best- way-to-upgrade_003f> describes how to upgrade R. What you did seems similar to one of the suggestions there, so I'm not sure why it didn't work. You might try uninstalling R 2.10.1, removing all of the packages in the library, reinstalling R 2.10.1, and then installing the Rcmdr and all of its dependencies via install.packages("Rcmdr", dependencies=TRUE), followed by reinstalling RcmdrPlugin.IPSUR and whatever else you want. With a fast Internet connection, that shouldn't take more than, say, a half hour.
One other thing: It appears to me that you're using the development version of the car package from R-Forge rather than the current version on CRAN. That won't work at present with the Rcmdr package, though it shouldn't produce the error that report. I hope this helps, John > -----Original Message----- > From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On > Behalf Of briancady413 > Sent: February-02-10 3:03 PM > To: r-help@r-project.org > Subject: [R] Update problem?
