3.0.1 update and compiler package

Hi,

Did you try:

update.packages(installed.packages()[,1])

or 

install.packages(installed.packages()[,1])

This will reinstall the packages you have on your system and for which
updates for 3.0.1 exist.

In my experience, as recounted here earlier, update.packages()
does not always work: it breaks because it fails to also recognize the
need to update some dependencies.

If reducing bandwidth is your concern, you can update the ones that
did not update manually, but note that this is a long drawn process
with one dependency leading to another in many cases.

All this is from my experience of updating R 2.15.2 to R 3.0.0 and
later R 3.0.1: of course YMMV.

HTH,
Ranjan
