When trying to update packages after the sysadmin updated R on my unix box
I got errors on some packages. For example for chron:
* DONE (chron)
mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/lib/R/library/00LOCK': Permission
denied
ERROR: failed to lock directory '/usr/lib/R/library' for modifying
I got similar messages for spatial and cluster and warnings for other
packages. Finally I got:
Warning messages:
1: number of rows of result
is not a multiple of vector length (arg 1) in: cbind(1, pkgs, lib)
2: number of rows of result
is not a multiple of vector length (arg 2) in: cbind(1,
update[found, , drop = FALSE], file = files)
3: installation of package 'chron' had non-zero exit status in:
install.packages(update[, "Package"], instlib, contriburl = contriburl,
4: installation of package 'VR' had non-zero exit status in:

9: cannot create HTML package index in:

>From Sys.info():
sysname release
"Linux" "2.6.15-1.1831_FC4smp"
>From the startup:
Version 2.2.1 (2005-12-20 r36812)
I don't have root privileges but am installing in my private library:
stat71/dscott10> echo $R_LIBS
/home/staff/dscott/Computing/R/Rprivatelib
Any suggestions?
