Hi-
I just upgraded R to 3.0.0 from 2.15.1 (which worked fine). When I started trying to install updated versions of the libraries, I saw the following error: > install.packages("lme4") Installing package into 'c:/Docume~1/melissa/R/win-library/3.0' (as 'lib' is unspecified) Warning in install.packages : path[1]="c:/Docume~1/melissa/R/win-library/3.0": Access is denied trying URL 'http://cran.case.edu/bin/windows/contrib/3.0/lme4_0.999999-2.zip' Content type 'application/zip' length 1408286 bytes (1.3 Mb) opened URL downloaded 1.3 Mb Error in install.packages : path[1]="c:\Docume~1\melissa\R\win-library\3.0": Access is denied At that point, I noticed that a similar error was occurring when R loads: Warning message: In normalizePath(path.expand(path), winslash, mustWork) : path[1]="c:/Docume~1/melissa/R/win-library/3.0": Access is denied The relevant directory does exist, although it keeps getting set to "read-only". I can't imagine that being a big issue if I'm running R as an administrator though C:\Users\melissa\R\win-library\3.0 Also, I can successfully install packages into other directories (e.g. when running as an administrator, this works fine): > install.packages("lme4", lib="C:/Program Files/R/R-3.0.0/library") trying URL 'http://cran.case.edu/bin/windows/contrib/3.0/lme4_0.999999-2.zip' Content type 'application/zip' length 1408286 bytes (1.3 Mb) opened URL downloaded 1.3 Mb package 'lme4' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked The downloaded binary packages are in C:\Users\melissa\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpEXtf89\downloaded_packages This will allow me to work with most R packages, but not Bioconductor, due path to the references in the biocLite source file. I haven't seen any other messages regarding similar issues, so I'm not sure what is going on. I've tried reinstalling R, (although I didn't try a fresh download). Other relevant details: This is a personal computer running windows 7. Any thoughts or ideas of how to get this to work? Thank you!
