I'd like to update MASS from version 7.2-11 to version 7-2.19. I am running R 2.0.1 on ubuntu, that installs MASS with the package r-cran-vr.
I have tried doing update.packages(), and I get a list of packages that I could update, but none is called MASS. I have tried the following too, right after launching emacs, but to no avail. <QUOTE> > update.packages("MASS") trying URL `http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/PACKAGES' Content type `text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1' length 65650 bytes opened URL ================================================== downloaded 64Kb Error in old.packages(lib.loc = lib.loc, contriburl = contriburl, method = method, : no installed.packages for (invalid?) lib.loc=MASS </QUOTE> I have the package installed in /usr/lib/R/library/MASS. I can do <QUOTE> > library(MASS) > search() [1] ".GlobalEnv" "package:MASS" "package:methods" [4] "package:stats" "package:graphics" "package:grDevices" [7] "package:utils" "package:datasets" "Autoloads" [10] "package:base" </QUOTE> How could I update the package?
