Hi although the background is that it happened on an hpc cluster, this question does *not* concern hpc computing with R.
I was using R on a cluster and had to install several packages in my home directory. Now the head node was migrated to new hardware (new install as well) and many dependencies for my in $HOME installed packages, which were present on the old head, are missing on the new head. Now I could simply try to run my script, wait for the error message, mail the administrator to install the package, try again, ... . But this is a tedious process - and I can not go to him directly, as I am sitting opn a different continent. So my question: is there an easy way (like ldd for programs), to identify the dependencies which are not met, and how could I use that on the packages? Thanks, Rainer -- Rainer M.
