[R] updating a local package
Hi folks I have inherited a package which was created before release 2.10 and I need to have it working in release 2.12 There is a folder containing the Man, Data and R subfolders, and the description file, and there is also the corresponding zip file. I can install the package from the zip file, but when I try to load it I get the message :- Error: package was built before R 2.10.0: please re-install it If I try to rebuild the zip file using C:\Program Files\R\R-2.12.0\bin\R.exe CMD build my.library.folder I get pages and pages of warnings and error messages, many of which seem to refer to the Man folder. Having never built a formal package before, I'm a bit stuck for what to do next ... Presumably the expected structure of the folders has changed but the documentation on packages looks scary - can anyone suggest the best way forward - even if its only RTFM ! thanks Bob Kinley [[alternative HTML version deleted]] __ 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.
Re: [R] updating a local package
Essential infrastructure work has been done in the meantime, both ion the documentation system and on the location of binaries. That means you really need to reinstall the package and hence you need to start with a source package. Details for installing from source are given in the manual R Installation and Administartion.

Re: [R] updating a local package
your advice to useR CMD INSTALL source.library did the trick and I now understand packages a little better. many thanks Bob Kinley Uwe Ligges lig...@statistik.tu-dortmund.de 28/10/2010 10:30 To Robert Kinley kinley_rob...@lilly.com cc r-help@r-project.org Subject Re: [R] updating a local package Essential infrastructure work has been done in the meantime, both ion the documentation system and on the location of binaries.
