Hi
R basic packages always works fine in my laptop (also ubuntu), you don't
need to reinstall anything once you installed the package, did you do that
in your terminal like
$R (enter R session)
install.packages('package name')
q()
then everytime you enter the R session, you just library('package name'),
that should work... I don't know if it is sth about user privilege , do you
use R on your own computer or on other servers?

I recently started using ubuntu 9.10 and I am using gedit editor and R
plugin for writing R code. To install any package I need to do:
$ install.packages()
//window pop-up for mirror selection
//then another window pop up for package selection.
After this as long as I am not exiting, the function of the newly installed
packages are available.
After I exit (i use to put 'no' in 'save workspace' option) from R, if I
want to again work in R, I have to repeat the process of package install.
This reintallation problem was not there in windows(I was using Tinn-R as
editor, I just need to put require('package-name') to use its function).
There is nothing to do with the editor. I guess, you should run "sudo R"
(you shouldn't use this to run a normal R session) in Ubuntu, which will
give you the right to write into the R directory typically in /usr/lib.
And then using "install.packages('package.name')" inside this R
session. To load a library at beginning of each R session, you might
consider the .First function like,
.First <- function(){
library('package.name')
invisible()
}
and then quite R session with work space saved.
Best,
Ruihong
Is there anyway so that reinstallation of the package is avoided???
thanks
