Sarah,
Here's part of the sequence:
install.packages('packagelist')
Warning message:
package ‘packagelist’ is not available (for R version 4.0.0)
source('newversionupdate.R')
Error in install.packages(packagelist) : object 'packagelist' not found
.libpath
Error: object '.libpath' not found
.libpath()
Error in .libpath() : could not find function ".libpath"
.libpaths()
Error in .libpaths() : could not find function ".libpaths"
libpaths()
Error in libpaths() : could not find function "libpaths"
?libpaths
No documentation for ‘libpaths’ in specified packages and libraries:
you could try ‘??libpaths’
?libpaths()
Error in .helpForCall(topicExpr, parent.frame()) :
no methods for ‘libpaths’ and no documentation for it as a function
?.libpaths()
When you used
.libPaths()
Oops! I missed the uppercase 'P'.
.libPaths()
[1] "/usr/lib64/R/library"
what did it tell you? Did you edit that result to be for the previous
version, and swap that into the list.files() command? I thought about
automating it, but I can't be sure what previous version you're
upgrading from.
When I upgrade a package, such as R, the old version is removed. My library
has remained the same over many R package upgrades.
I suspect you tried to run the code by copy and paste, and not by putting
in your own path, but if so then I'd like to improve the directions.
No, you're running a different OS than I do so I didn't copy and paste.
I'll get back to this after finishing a document edit that has the highest
priority now.
Thanks,
Rich
