Call library() in your R session; you should get the one from /usr/local first as that path is searched. | How can I check to make sure that this version gets loaded or should I just | run R CMD INSTALL lattice-x.y.z.tar.gz to /usr/lib/R/library? That would mean cheating on the package system. Not a great strategy. When I want the newer packages in /usr/local/lib/R/site-library/, I simply do not install the corresponding r-cran-* packages. This may require uninstalling (ie remove or purge) r-recommended and r-base. Both are 'meta-packages' that pull in, respectively, the recommended CRAN packages as well as r-base-core and some doc packages. If you know what you're doing, and feel comfortable doing so, you may just stay with r-base-core, r-base-dev, r-mathlib and which doc packages. This question would have been well suited for r-sig-debian.
