Check if /store/home/ayee/.tmp exists and is writeable.  I get that 
message only if it does not.  From the manual


  Ensure that the environment variable TMPDIR is either unset (and /tmp
  exists and can be written in and scripts can be executed from) or
  points to a valid temporary directory (one from which execution of
  scripts is allowed).



Thanks,

Re: [R] trouble installing R-patched (R-2.12.0) when TMPDIR is specified

2010-10-18 Thread Andrew Yee
I'm mortified to report that the location I set in TMPDIR was not a
valid directory in the system I was using (I copied it from another
system), so this is a mea culpa on my part!
