Dear list members, I've run into a problem with R CMD INSTALL under Windows Vista and R 2.8.0:
--------- snip ----------- C:\Users\John Fox\workspace>c:\R\R-2.8.0\bin\R CMD INSTALL car installing to '' ---------- Making package car ------------ adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION installing NAMESPACE file and metadata installing R files installing inst files installing data files preparing package car for lazy loading Warning in list.files(lib, pattern = paste("^", pkg_regexp, sep = ""), ful s = TRUE) : list.files: '' is not a readable directory Error in findpack(package, lib.loc) : there is no package called 'car' Calls: <Anonymous> -> findpack Execution halted make[2]: *** [lazyload] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make: *** [pkg-car] Error 2 *** Installation of car failed *** Removing '/car' ----------- snip ------------ Apparently, the package isn't being installed to the standard library location. The same command works perfectly fine under R 2.7.2: ----------- snip ------------ C:\Users\John Fox\workspace>c:\R\R-2.7.2\bin\R CMD INSTALL car installing to 'c:/R/R-2.7.2/library' ---------- Making package car ------------ adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION installing NAMESPACE file and metadata installing R files installing inst files installing data files preparing package car for lazy loading preparing package car for lazy data loading installing man source files installing indices installing help >>> Building/Updating help pages for package 'car' Formats: text html latex example chm Adler text html latex chm Angell text html latex chm Anova text html latex example chm Anscombe text html latex chm . . . vif text html latex example chm which.names text html latex example chm Microsoft HTML Help Compiler 4.74.8702 Compiling c:\Users\JOHNFO~1\WORKSP~1\car\chm\car.chm Compile time: 0 minutes, 2 seconds 80 Topics 248 Local links 3 Internet links 1 Graphic Created c:\Users\JOHNFO~1\WORKSP~1\car\chm\car.chm, 144,998 bytes Compression decreased file by 191,708 bytes. adding MD5 sums * DONE (car) ----------- snip ------------ I see in the Windows CHANGES file that Rcmd.exe has been modified. Do I have to set an environment variable that I didn't have to set before? Any help would be appreciated.
