Hi again! I would just like to add that this surely must be a problem with network disks. As I reported yesterady in,
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2005-March/032431.html I have problems with installing packages on network drive (where I have R installed), marked N: > install.packages("gap") trying URL `http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.0/PACKAGES' Content type `text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1' length 26936 bytes opened URL downloaded 26Kb trying URL `http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.0/gap_0.8-3.zip' Content type `application/zip' length 437644 bytes opened URL downloaded 427Kb package 'gap' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked Delete downloaded files (y/N)? y updating HTML package descriptions Warning message: unable to move temp installation 'N:/Ovce/Programi/R/rw2001/library\file4821/gap' to 'N:/Ovce/Programi/R/rw2001/library/gap' > library("gap") Error in library("gap") : There is no package called 'gap' But if I try to install package on local disk, marked C: > install.packages("gap", lib="C:/Programs/R/library") > install.packages("gap", lib="C:/Programs/R/library") trying URL `http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.0/PACKAGES' Content type `text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1' length 26936 bytes opened URL downloaded 26Kb trying URL `http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.0/gap_0.8-3.zip' Content type `application/zip' length 437644 bytes opened URL downloaded 427Kb package 'gap' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked Delete downloaded files (y/N)? y updating HTML package descriptions > library("gap") Error in library("gap") : There is no package called 'gap' > library("gap", lib.loc="C:/Programs/R/library") > ?hwe.hardy I also reported yesterday that this is not 100% reproducible. I tried to install today bundle 'gregmisc' and the installation failed only partly, due to failure of moving temporary installation directory for 'gplots', while others packages passed OK. Strange. Look below: > install.packages("gregmisc") trying URL `http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.0/PACKAGES' Content type `text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1' length 26936 bytes opened URL downloaded 26Kb trying URL `http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.0/gregmisc_2.0.3.zip' Content type `application/zip' length 821874 bytes opened URL downloaded 802Kb bundle 'gregmisc' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked Delete downloaded files (y/N)? y updating HTML package descriptions Warning message: unable to move temp installation 'N:/Ovce/Programi/R/rw2001/library\file1347/gplots' to 'N:/Ovce/Programi/R/rw2001/library/gplots' > library("gdata") Loading required package: gtools > library("gplots") Error in library("gplots") : There is no package called 'gplots' Can someone try this with local and networked installation of package to confirm my thoughts.
