Hmm, perhaps I'm missing the relevant section in the R Installation and
Administration manual -- here is the error I'm getting:
package 'akima' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
package 'gam' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
The downloaded packages are in
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Local
Settings\Temp\7\RtmpR1XJ61\downloaded_packages
updating HTML package descriptions
Warning message:
In file.create(f.tg) :
cannot create file 'C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-28~1.1/doc/html/packages.html',
reason 'Permission denied'
So the packages are getting installed fine, but that final section seems
to be throwing an error. Its installing to a read-only (for a non-admin
user) location.
