Dear Uwe:
Thanks very much. Based on your suggestion, I deleted
"C:\\Users\\sgraves\\Documents/R/win-library/2.9", which got created
when I first installed R 2.9.1 into the default, write-protected area
and then did "install.packages". When I uninstalled that
write-protected copy and installed it in a different location, the
directory "C:\\Users\\sgraves\\Documents/R/win-library/2.9" remained,
and Rgui directed "install.packages" to that directory, though Rterm did
not. I had not intentionally set "R_LIBS" nor any other special thing
like that, so I was confused.
Thanks again.
Best Wishes,
Spencer

What do I need to do to get "install.packages" to work properly
for me in R 2.9.1 under Vista?
Currently, install.packages in Rgui 2.9.1 by default goes to
"C:\\Users\\sgraves\\Documents/R/win-library/2.9". This is a problem
for me, because R running under Emacs does not currently look there.
I made the mistake last night of first installing R 2.9.1 in the
default "C:\Program Files". When I found that packages I installed
using Rgui could not be found from within Emacs, I uninstalled R from
"C:\Program Files" and reinstalled it under "C:\Users\sgraves\R"
alongside R 2.9.0, which has allowed "install.packages" from Rgui to
be accessed from R under Emacs.
I've traced the problem to the different behavior of ".libPaths()":
*** Rgui: .libPaths()
[1] "C:\\Users\\sgraves\\Documents/R/win-library/2.9"
[2] "C:/Users/sgraves/R/R-2.9.1/library"
*** R under Emacs: > .libPaths()
[1] "c:/Users/sgraves/R/R-2.9.1/library"
What do you suggest? Thanks,
Either set for the second setup
"C:\\Users\\sgraves\\Documents/R/win-library/2.9" as a default library
path (e.g. via env var R_LIBS) or remove it from the first setup (in
a personal startup file).
Best wishes,
Uwe
Spencer
