Thanks for your reply Jeff!
install.packages('Lahman') was the first command typed and generated
the
error leading to the var directory. Here's everything else that I've
got,
per one of the how to ask a good question post.
There are binaries for pkg:Lahman at CRAN for both the SL and
Mavericks versions of R for MacOS.
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Lahman/index.html
We don't know what your default repository is. This is what I use:
> getOption("repos")
CRAN
"http://cran.stat.ucla.edu";
dput(Lahman)
Generally that would not be informative. The package is not an object
in the workspace.
Error in dput(Lahman) : object 'Lahman' not found
Your original error message suggested an error in spelling:
Error: could not find function "intall.packages"
I also ran the following . . .
sessionInfo()
R version 3.1.1 (2014-07-10)
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin13.1.0 (64-bit)
locale:
[1] en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/C/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8
attached base packages:
[1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base
loaded via a namespace (and not attached):
[1] tools_3.1.1
So this says that pkg:Lahman is not loaded at that time.
I had been storing R commands, but now that I can't run any
meaningful commands
related to my data, nothing is being stored at the moment.
Not sure what "storing R commands" means or what "can't run any
meaning commands related to my data might mean either". You are not
showing either code or error messages relating to this activity.
The message you got suggests that you _did_ install a package (perhaps
SoDA?) in your .../User/Computer/Library/R/3.1/library/ directory. You
can use this command to get a list of installed packages:
installed.packages()
For me that list is rather long (and is therefore omitted) but I
suspect from your difficulties that you do not have very many
contributed packages installed yet.
Let me know if I need to provide anything else. Thanks for the input!
Less vague description. More code and error messages. This may or may
not be a MacOS problem. It sould as though it is a problem with basic
R commands to me. If it really is a MacOS installation problem, then
this is the wrong mailing list.
PLEASE, stop sending HTML mail. This is a plain text mailing list.

I am going to make a wild guess that you loaded your previous
variables,
perhaps automatically from the .RData file, but you don't remember
which
packages to load to work with them. You only use the install.packages
function to get them into the R "library" directories (typically from
CRAN). You use the "library" or "require" functions to pull them into
memory each time you restart R to do some analysis. Usually it is
best to
store the sequence of R statements that do your analysis in a .R
file. You
can then just run all the commands in that file later when you have
forgotten how you did your analysis the first time.
The fact that loading your variables from the .RData file does not
also
reload the packages you need to do your analysis is a pain. I
prefer to not
use RData files at all since the R file can both load those needed
packages
and remind me how the analysis was done.
You should read about how to ask clear questions, such as at [1],
and read
the Posting Guide mentioned at the bottom of this email which
points out
that you should post in plain text or we might not see what you see.

Hello,
I am new to this program. I initially installed both R and R
Studio 3
months ago, easily and got a d-base icon from the package I
needed, and
saw
my tables in spreadsheet form in studio. Now, everything has
disappeared on
its own -seriously nothing changed. When trying to get my package
back, I
get this:
Error: could not find function "intall.packages"

var is a private directory. Though I can pull individual tables from
the
package (Lahman), they are now unlinked. SQL and stat commands are
rejected
by R and Studio. I tried about 2 dozen methods of changing the
directory,
specifying .lib and libPaths, (at least the ones online I
understood),
and
nothing worked, I moved the package (Lahman) to an R directory,
but I
did
not see it, and there seems to be no way to turn it back into a
working
d-base in the working dir complete with icon suggesting it is locked
and
loaded. I have tried clean installs of everything, yet R-Studio
seems
to
remember what I did last (I don't know how). I need this back the
way
it
was: a functioning d-base from Lahman package in R-Studio and R.
Suggestions seriously needed. It seems unfixable, and the "var'
problem
seems very rare. Thanks for reading this.
Cheers,
RCD
