Look for revision 35546 or higher.
The above improvement was one of the key things one had to look out for in installing R that was not already covered in the R setup procedure. The other one is to copy the libraries from your old R version to your new one (unless you want to share libraries among versions). I have a batch file in the devel version of batchfiles to do that but if this were made part of the installation procedure I could eliminate it or if it were included it would be much less necessary. ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
