Exactly. This is an accessibility issue and a serious barrier for some beginners. It's possible to work around the error message, but users should not have to do a workaround the very first time they install a couple libraries. Many users synching with one of several popular cloud services and many users whose Documents folder is managed by a Network IT policy will run into this issue. Moving the R libraries from USER/Documents/R to USER/R will help avoid "attrition" of beginners. -Steve ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
