Thank you! Yes, it's cut and paste.
The message coming from C (do_normalizepath) not R.
I did not set lib.loc in the
call (made through the Rgui.exe menu system), but I have the library
location defined in the environment:
R_LIBS=c:/Program Files/R/Library
I've been using this approach for several years, and it's worked
without problem until now.
I can't seem to reproduce this. If it happens reproducibly on your system,
could you please do the following:
print the result of installed.packages()["PBSmodelling",], .libPaths() and
sessionInfo()?
A possible workaround is to get the names of all of your packages in the
Library folder and install them, rather than using the update.packages()
function. This may fail if some of them aren't on CRAN or the other
repositories.
I think he has a permissions issue on that directory. I'd remove it
manually after a reboot, then re-install. (Reboot because it may be
open in some crashed process.)
I've seen this in Vista/7 several times, but of course permissions are
more of a hindrance there.
