Re: [R] Unable to load packages RODBC and RODBCext in R

[Jeff Newmiller]

The messages tell you that the package files were successfully downloaded and 
extracted, but could not be added to the package library. Try making sure all 
instances of R are closed down before running the install.packages function. 
Also, just to be clear, avoid running R "As Administrator" under Windows unless 
you plan to fix the resulting mess yourself.

Re: [R] Unable to load packages RODBC and RODBCext in R

[Bert Gunter]

I don't use Windows, but this looks like a Windows permissions issue, no?

You could try moving them yourself manually or create another library
directory that R can access to put them in.

... or wait and hope for advice from someone who uses Windows to give you a
definitive answer.

Cheers,
Bert
