[R] FW: Library update from version
Hello, I recently installed version 3.0.1 of R on to a computer. I have a working installation for a Statconn application using R version 2.15.0 on another computer. I have many libraries under this old installation. Can I just copy them into the new library from the old, or do I install each one of them under the new R? Also how can I get a list of differences in two libraries so that I can use this list to update the new one? Thank you.

In this case the OP probably does need to reinstall contributed packages since going from 2.15.x to 3.0.y entails a major version change in R.

Because it has been my experience that people *just* do that (ie. the *just* copy the libraries, as the OP asked). But as you correctly point out: Note that the Windows upgrade FAQ (http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#What_0027s-the-best-way-to-upgrade_003f) says to do exactly that. There is a way to copy the old package and then ensure that they are updated to the versions that build correctly on the newest version of R. -steve -- Steve Lianoglou Computational Biologist Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Genentech __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
