I am 100% positive there is a better fix for this problem and it has been discussed. Thank you in advance for bringing it to my attention.
When upgrading to newer versions of R the old packages are not brought along in the process. I solved that problem by creating a list of the packages in the old version of R, importing them to the new version via a CSV, and re-installing into the newer R directory. The script is below. Is there a more efficient way to do this? Should I simply attempt to drag the package folders from the old directory to the new one? Thanks ## in old version of R<2.6 package<-c(library()) write.csv(package$results, file="file path/oldpackages.csv") ##** Update R or open updated R version (R=2.60) package.list<-read.csv(file="file path/oldpackages.csv", header=TRUE) package.list$Package<-as.character(package.list$Package) install.packages(c(package.list$Package)) #wait awhile and ignore errors for base packages. system: Mac powerbook intel duo.
