I'm trying to update packages on RGui (64-bit) using update.packages
but I'm getting the following message:
Warning in install.packages(update[instlib == l, "Package"], l, contriburl = contriburl, :
'lib = "C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-212~1.1/library"' is not writable
Error in install.packages(update[instlib == l, "Package"], l, contriburl = contriburl, :
unable to install packages
I've looked at the library folder in Explorer and it has read only set, so I removed it. However, it reappears when I check the properties again immediately after doing this. Installing new packages is unaffected since they have a separate folder in my user profile.
Is there a trick to getting this to work?
It happens the same to me, and after coding hours and hours in "R" of Gui Project, i got bored because it is much easier to read a code when the interface uses colours for a certain type of words (commands). Well, i decided to install RStudio, but soon i was faced with package installation problems. It seems that happens in Windows 7. The way that I used to solve this problem with RSutido was:
After this steps you should be ok to install all the packages :-)
