I have been having a problem installing binary packages on Windows, since 3.6.x hit the streets.
I am using the > > INSTALL_opts = c('--no-lock') > option, but it occurs nevertheless. My habit is to install an update of R (latest, 3.6.2), then run update.packages(.): > > trying URL > 'https://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/bin/windows/contrib/3.6/zoib_1.5.4.zip' > Content type 'application/zip' length 350788 bytes (342 KB) > downloaded 342 KB > > package ‘elasticnet’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked > package ‘ellipse’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked > package ‘elliptic’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked > package ‘EMCluster’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked > package ‘EMD’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked > Warning: cannot remove prior installation of package ‘EMD’ > Warning in file.copy(savedcopy, lib, recursive = TRUE) : > problem copying C:\Program > Files\R\R-2.13.1\library\00LOCK\EMD\libs\x64\EMD.dll to C:\Program > Files\R\R-2.13.1\library\EMD\libs\x64\EMD.dll: Permission denied > Warning: restored ‘EMD’ > package ‘emdbook’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked > package ‘emdist’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked > package ‘emmeans’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked > package ‘emoa’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked > Error in unpackPkgZip(foundpkgs[okp, 2L], foundpkgs[okp, 1L], lib, libs_only, > : > ERROR: failed to lock directory ‘C:\Program Files\R\R-2.13.1\library’ for > modifying > Try removing ‘C:\Program Files\R\R-2.13.1\library/00LOCK’ > > > Note the above is preceded by a long list of packages which are, in each case, re-loaded from whatever repo at a mirror being used. I have found the p_unlock() from package pacman useful. After assigning global variable P to the results of available.packages(), I repeatedly do: > > > p_unlock() > The following 00LOCK has been deleted: > C:/Program Files/R/R-2.13.1/library/00LOCK > > match(c("emoa"), P) > [1] 13 > > P<- P[13:length(P)] > > update.packages(method=NULL, ask=FALSE, checkBuilt=TRUE, type="win.binary", > > instPkgs=P, > + dependencies=c("Imports", "Depends", "Suggests"), > INSTALL_opts=c("--no-lock")) > where *emoa* is a stand-in for whatever package faulted during the load. (I also have no idea why *EMD* is locked in the above.)

Anyone have a suggestion for an easier workaround? - Jan Galkowski [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
