Dear R-Sog-Mac members,
I have an issue while automatically updating packages in R.
For the packages installed in my second library, while automatically updating I
get the following "Permission denied” messages(details below).
I suppose I know where this problem comes from:
I had installed a few different versions of R.
And now I have 2 library paths:
> .libPaths()
[1] "/Users/iryna/Library/R/3.1/library"
[2] "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.1/Resources/library”
And for some reason R just doesn’t have rights to update packages in my second
library.
Do you know why is that? How should I fix this issue?
Here is the error message:
* installing *source* package ‘mgcv’ ...
** package ‘mgcv’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
mv: rename
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.1/Resources/library/mgcv
