Re: [R] Unable to start R due to error with tempdir()
Fatal error: cannot find unused tempdir names
I am having the same problem as Michael Epstein (100% of the time) even after
clearing out all the Rtmp* files from the temporary directory. I have tried
reinstalling R, to no avail. Is there some profile setting that is trying to
create temp directories in an inaccessible place? I had to guess where the
tempdir was using a colleague's machine. In his case it seems to be in
/documents and settings/userid/local/temp and I cleared out the corresponding
directory on my machine.

Take a look at your temporary dir, and see if you can clear it out. ?tempdir tells you where it is. On Mon, 28 Jun 2004, Michael Epstein wrote: Hello, I run R 1.9.1 on a Windows XP machine.

Not R specific but that kind of error is quite often related to a lack of hard drive space. Mark Fowle --- Navicom Inc.

Re: [R] Unable to start R due to error with tempdir()
Are you implying that I should delete all the Rtmp* directories in my temporary dir? Thanks much.
