Re: [R] Problem installing packages

[Prof Brian Ripley]

The first message makes sense, but unfortunately if we cannot reproduce 
it, we cannot help.  The issue appears to be that your OS is garbling file 
names.

Is this is a translation back from German?  The original would appear to 
be

    unable to move temporary installation '...' to '...'

Could you try a recent R-patched build?  There is a possibility that one 
of two fixes might have fixed this too.

Hi,

when I try installing new packages (in this case DBI) I run into the 
following problem:

Paket 'DBI' erfolgreich ausgepackt und MD5 Summen abgeglichen
Warnung: kann temporäre Installation 
'C:\Programme\R\R-2.7.0\library\file5f906952\DBI' nicht nach 'ÝxlDÌú
 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]' verschieben

Has anybody any idea where these strange symbols come from?

Thanks in advance,
Owe

Excuse me for not giving much detail:

The OS is Win XP SP2, R is 2.7.0, DBI is 0.2-4, the mirror was Göttingen, but 
I had similar problems with Zürich.

A rough translation of the warning is: " Package 'DBI' successfully extracted 
and MD5 sums successfully checked. Warning: cannot move temporary 
installation 'C:\Programme\R\R-2.7.0\library\file5f906952\DBI' to 'ÝxlDÌú
 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'". The cryptic part is not constant when i repeat the 
installation, another example is 'Ýxl<Ôu
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]' or 
'ÝxlÈ/w
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]'.

I hope this makes a bit more sense.

TIA
Owe
