Dear R project members, I have an issue while automatically updating packages. 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 to /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.1/Resources/library/00LOCK-mgcv/mgcv: Permission denied Warning in file.copy(f, instdir, TRUE) : problem copying ./NAMESPACE to /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.1/Resources/library/mgcv/NAMESPACE: Permission denied Warning in file(file, ifelse(append, "a", "w")) : cannot open file '/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.1/Resources/library/mgcv/DESCRIPTION': Permission denied Error in file(file, ifelse(append, "a", "w")) : cannot open the connection ERROR: installing package DESCRIPTION failed for package ‘mgcv’ * removing ‘/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.1/Resources/library/mgcv’ Here are some additional information on my settings: > version _ platform x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0 arch x86_64 os darwin13.4.0 system x86_64, darwin13.4.0 status major 3 minor 1.2 year 2014 month 10 day 31 svn rev 66913 language R version.string R version 3.1.2 (2014-10-31) nickname Pumpkin Helmet Thanks in advance for your help, — Iryna Nikolayeva ______________________________________________ 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.
