Hello friends, I loaded R 2.4.1 onto a Fedora Core 6 Linux box (taking all defaults). Then I ran these commands from within R:
options(CRAN="http://cran.stat.ucla.edu";) install.packages(CRAN.packages()[,1]) As a new user of R, I was shocked when I finished loading R and discovered the following message: "There were 50 or more warnings (use warnings() to see the first 50)" In addition to this, I saw errors such as this one: "ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'PerformanceAnalytics' What is this lazy loading? More importantly, do I have to worry about all these warnings? I am intimidated by the idea that I have to go back and fix each and every one in order to have a clean R update. Shouldn't the update with CRAN "just work?" Or is there something really important that I am missing? Thanks all for your help.
