Hi,
I've just downloaded the latest R v2.5.0 alpha (2007-04-04 r41043) for
WinXP. When I try to
install a package R tries to install it to a no-name (empty name)
directory (causing error downstream):
RCMD INSTALL R.oo
installing to ''
FYI: Package install perfectly on R v2.4.1 patched, and did so also on
earlier R v2.5.0 devel/alpha(?) versions.
Current directory is:
C:\tmp
with subdirectory R.oo/ containing inst/ man/ R/ DESCRIPTION as usual.
I noticed the following in CHANGES and NEWS related to R CMD INSTALL:
o R CMD INSTALL now installs by default into the first library on
the library path if R was run in the current environment.
Similarly, R CMD REMOVE by default removes from that library.
R CMD INSTALL does a better job of removing its temporary
directory.
o R CMD INSTALL and R CMD REMOVE now use as the default library
(if -l is not specified) the first library that would be used
if R were run in the current environment (and they run R to
find it).
o R CMD INSTALL now prepends the installation directory (if
specified) to the library search path.
But my I do have:
> .libPaths()
[1] "C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-2.5.0alpha/library"
My setup:
echo %RHOME%:
C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-2.5.0alpha
> .libPaths()
[1] "C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-2.5.0alpha/library"
> sessionInfo()
R version 2.5.0 alpha (2007-04-04 r41043)
i386-pc-mingw32
locale:
LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252;LC_CTYPE=English_United States.1252;LC_MON
ETARY=English_United States.1252;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=English_United States.1252
attached base packages:
[1] "stats" "graphics" "grDevices" "utils" "datasets" "methods"
[7] "base"
Any help appreciated
Henrik
