#4959: r's install_packages is broken in many variants of sage
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
Reporter: was | Owner: mabshoff
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone: sage-3.2.4
Component: packages | Keywords:
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
See, e.g., this from sage-devel
{{{
I had a similar failure today, trying to:
r.install_packages("adapt")
after some fussing, runing ./sage as root, and using the notebook
interface I could get through the download phase, but same sorts of
failures in just as the gcc kicks in. Seems several of the key R
scripts have "/home/wstein/..." hard wired in to R_HOME_XXX, which
obviously will fail. I tried editing the R startup scripts (among
others) but couldn't get it to work.
BTW, I installed from the latest Debian tarball into a Debian/VMWARE
machine just today. So installing R packages is still an issue.
}}}
Since most of the value of R is the huge list of third party packages,
it's very important that this get fixed.
