3.0.1 update and compiler package

Usually sudo apt-get install ... Sometimes synaptic package manager. I'm
using the

/http://cran.ma.imperial.ac.uk/bin/linux/ubuntu/precise/
http://cran.stat.ucla.edu/bin/linux/ubuntu/precise

repositories. Not sure what the differences are. I had some problems
before when I installed packages from within Rstudio. It would install
them in a different directory than apt-get would and it would tell me
that those packages were not installed when I used the terminal to start
R. Drove me crazy for a while because I could use them in Rstudio so I
was sure they were installed. Do you think this could also cause this?

Hi,
reinstalling R did not help. It still will not update the same packages. I attached the terminal output. There were no errors while I was installing R again. I might have to remove all libraries and reinstall them all. Would you agree or do you think I should try something else first which is not as extreme.

Thanks for your help

Hi,

How did you upgraded your version of R? From source or from a Linux
package?

Actually the new R installation is just broken. It simply has to be
reinstalled carefully (watch for errors).

Hi,
I recently updated to R 3.0.1. I'm running linux ubuntu 12.04. I
realized that I have to update all the installed packages so I run >
update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE)
as described here
http://www.r-bloggers.com/r-3-0-0-is-released-whats-new-and-how-to-upgrade/


. The first thing it did was telling me that it will not update several
packages. When it was finished I used the warnings function to have a
look at what did not work. See the list below.

warnings()

I tried to reinstall them manually but this always failed because of a
package dependency to the "compiler" package. Now, if I try to install
the compiler package it tells me.

install.packages("compiler")

Installing package into
?/home/christoph/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.0?
(as ?lib? is unspecified)
Warning message:
package ?compiler? is not available (for R version 3.0.1)

The last line also came up all the time when the packages were updated

Doing a bit of research does not deliver much only that the compiler
package was included into R at version 2.13.0
(http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2011/04/12/).

Most of those packages which do not work any more are pretty important
for some of my scripts and I would not even know what packages replace
the packages above.

Would anyone know how to fix this?

Regards
