Hi Nick, I'm putting rkward-devel back on CC. Hope that's ok with you.
(Background: I had to resend my previous message privately, due to problems with an over-active spam-filter along the way). On Monday 22 April 2013 18:17:32 you wrote: > Hi Thomas, > It seems that the generated install.packages has some issues : > 1). pkgs=c(........) This should not be an issue, right? (It does look like a good idea to remove the argument name, though, as, sometimes, R does rename first arguments (perhaps to "packages" in this case), while they rarely touch argument position. So I stripped the "pkgs=" in the development version). > 2), suggested_packages=TRUE Ouch. Search-and-replace bug, now fixed in the development version. Note: If you would like to test the fixes, compiling the development version is just as easy as compiling from the official tar.gz releases. See http://p.sf.net/rkward/svn . > 3). rkward is not able to get the "default" repositories True, it uses only "@CRAN@" and "http://rkward.sf.net/R"; by default. This is not an entirely clear-cut-case, but actually, this is done on purpose. Note that you can manage repositories via the "Configure Repositories"-button in the package installation dialog (also available via Settings->Configure RKWard). > I believe that the option "Install suggested pacakges" on the screen > associated with "Manage R Packages" should be "Install dependecies" to > generate "dependencies=TRUE" No, the option really controls installation of "suggested" packages, only (and thus, to work around the error, I suggest simply leaving it unchecked). Note that the "dependencies"-parameter to install.packages() allows for much more fine-grained control. But the difference between dependencies=TRUE and dependencies=NA is the "suggested" packages, only. Actual dependencies are installed in both cases. See above on the name of the "dependencies" argument in R.

In general, installing "all updates" should fix this. However, in fact, we should probably adopt the R way of dealing with this: Keeping separate library locations for different versions of R. The downside of this is that after every new (non-patch) version of R, you will have to re-install all packages, while most of the time this would not actually be necessary. The advantage is that you will never run into this problem. To do it the R way, manually, remove/rename ~/.rkward/library > That's all I have found so far ........... Well, thanks for your feedback. Keep reporting issues! Regards Thomas
