Re: [R] Error Installing or Updating Packages (Maybe because of a proxy)
Back again, just tried at work (through a proxy, same R version, should be same Debian Linux version = Debian Testing recently updated but one on a Macbook computer (at home, does not work), the other on a Desktop PC (at work, works flawlessly)). Will try to investigate further... Majid, did you locate the source of your problem ? Thanks.

Re: [R] Error Installing or Updating Packages (Maybe because of a proxy)
Le Thu, 9 Jun 2011 12:14:55 +0200, Olivier Crouzet a écrit : Back again again, actually, the big difference between the two computers is in the library path. On the computer where package installation works, .libPaths() returns: .libPaths() [1] /usr/local/lib/R/site-library /usr/lib/R/site-library [3] /usr/lib/R/library With no path being part of my local home directory... and the install puts the installed packages into the first one (/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/) as expected.
