Re: [R] How to upgrade library from R 1.9.1 to R 2.0.1
This is both in the NEWS file and in the rw-FAQ (you are on Windows, I believe, but have not mentioned it). You absolutely must install packages properly (with R CMD INSTALL) on R 2.0.1. What you did has never to my knowledge been documented, and often did not work under 1.9.1, so you were fortunate. You will find it easier to find the pertinent information if you search for the concept `package' (you are talking about a package) under `package' not `library'. See 3.1 Can I install packages into libraries in this version? Yes, but you will need a lot of tools to do so, unless the author or the maintainers of the `bin/windows/contrib' section on CRAN have been kind enough to provide a pre-compiled version for Windows as a `.zip' file. ...

[R] How to upgrade library from R 1.9.1 to R 2.0.1
Dear All: I have a library for R 1.9.1, it is very easy to setup a library in R 1.9.1. For example: I want to setup a library test for R1.9.1. 1. Create a folder test in the direct X:\ R\ rw1091\ library \. 2. Create a file DESCRIPTION in the direct X:\ R\ rw1091\ library\ test\. 3. Modify the Package: and Title: item to test in the file DESCRIPTION . 4.Create a folder R in the direct X:\ R\ rw1091\ library\ test\ . 5.Create a file test in the direct X:\ R\ rw1091\ library\ test\ R\ . 6. Add all the function into the test file. Then I can call the test using command library (test) . I setup the library using the same way in R2.0.1, but the library can't work. The error message is Error in library(test) : 'test' is not a valid package -- installed 2.0.0? I search the help file and document but still can't upgrade the library.

I assume you are referring to a package that you wrote and want to upgrade. I think there may be confusion here between the source and installed package. The source package is what you wrote and it should _not_ go into \R\rw2001\library\test.Lets say we put that in \Rpkgs\test . Then, assuming you just installed R 2.0.1, use the Rcmd.exe program to install the source package into your R tree. cd \Rpkgs \R\rw2001\bin\Rcmd install test to install it. Fix up any errors you get during the install and repeat until it installs. Now go into R and test it out. If it seems to work try running 'Rcmd check' on it: cd \Rpkgs \R\rw2001\bin\Rcmd check test and fix up any errors and repeat until it passes Rcmd check and reinstall. See the Writing Extensions Manual if the above is not sufficient. __ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
