Hello,
The R version on my system is R version 2.8.1 (2008-12-22). I have
previously installed all the desired packages for my work - and they have
been working fine. However, somebody played with my system and removed
almost all the stuff. I am installing the packages again.
But I am finding some packages (such as, sp, rgdal, raster, etc) hard to
install. Some of the error messages indicate that 2.8.1 is old and that the
package requires 2.10.0.
I have tried to upgrade to 2.10.0 or to the newest release but without luck.
I am now considering reinstalling R ( and then reinstall all the removed
packages).
Could you please advise if this has any negative implications the R package
or if I have any better option as to handle this problem?
I would install the current release of R. Version 2.8.1 is quite old,
and likely nobody will support you on it.
You can get old copies of packages from the CRAN archives
<http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/> if you do decide to
stick with an obsolete version, but I don't know a simple way to find
the best combination of package versions for 2.8.1.
