I'm trying to use the package rgl for a research project. I've used it in the past, but now when I try to re-install it after updating to R 2.13.0 I'm getting the following error: Warning in install.packages : package ?rgl? is not available (for R version 2.13.0) Is there any way to get R to recognize this package, or am I going to have to re-install an old version of R to use it? Thanks in advance, Chris. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Question-Using-Old-R-Packages-tp3510721p3510721.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Question Using Old R Packages

In case anyone else is having similar problems, it turns out it may have been an issue with the interface I was using (R Studio). When I close R Studio and tried it again through R it installed without the error message.

You should report this as a serious bug to the R Studio developers. It sounds as though it is looking in the wrong location for packages to install. You were "lucky" in that rgl wasn't in that location, but in other cases it may be finding the wrong version. Duncan Murdoch
