Emma - do installations still work after you switch the startup script back on that I suggested you comment out? I'm specifically asking about loading plot3D...
As far as I'm concerned "it worked" would mean: you can load plot3D and magrittr through the startup script and then R is just fine and you can install e.g. stringr from CRAN. Is that so? Lets make sure the ghosts aren't coming back - it's not quite Halloween yet. :-) On Oct 30, 2015, at 12:19 AM, Emma Hsueh <ehsueh1...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Rolf, > > Looks like it is indeed the Halloween ghosts! > I did what you said and it worked.
