Dear all, I am forced to work in an environment without administrator rights.
When using R2.13.1 on Windows 7 (64-Bit), I found that I can´t install or update any packages due to missing writing permissions. I managed to get full access to a directory on my C:\ drive now - but how do I specify that all libraries shall be installed into this directory? In Rcmd_environ I have the following entries: ## from R.sh R_SHARE_DIR="C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-2.13.1\share" R_INCLUDE_DIR="C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-2.13.1\share\include" R_DOC_DIR="C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-2.13.1\share\doc" R_ARCH= R_LIBS_USER="C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-2.13.1\\library" R_LIBS="C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-2.13.1\\library" In Rprofile.site I have the following entries: .Library.site="C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-2.13.1\\library" .Library="C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-2.13.1\\library" .libPaths="C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-2.13.1\\library" What else do I need to change? When I start up R, I get the following error message: Error: cannot change value of locked binding for '.Library' When calling .libPaths, I still get the wrong path: "\\\\winfs-uni.top.gwdg.de/cscherb1$/R/R-2.13.1/library" R has been installed at "C:\\Program Files\\R" but for some reason it still uses "winfs-uni.top.gwdg.de/cscherb1$/R" as the default directory for libraries (where I don´t have write permissions for some unknown reasons) What can I do to change the default library installation location? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks and best wishes Christoph -- Dr. rer.nat.
