-----Original Message----- From: r-sig-debian-bounces at r-project.org [mailto:r-sig-debian-bounces at r- project.org] On Behalf Of Ajay Ohri Sent: Friday, January 21, 2011 10:50 PM To: r-sig-debian at r-project.org; R list Subject: [R-sig-Debian] Debian ?Ubuntu version of latest R using synaptic inUbuntu 10.10 Dear List I use synaptic to download R on my Ubuntu 10.10. It seems latest version of R on Ubuntu is 2.11.1 Even when I use debian.cran.r-project.org to update my packages the problem remains (latest versions on CRAN are almost always 2 updates ahead of Debian packages) This is also true for a lot of other packages as well My specific problem is while I can use sudo apt-get to update packages from Debian repository I get a permission denied when I am trying to update from CRAN from within R. I am a Linux newbie Please help Regards Ajay
Ajay, To update from within R, start R using sudo and you should solve your permissions problem. In addition, go to the Linux section of "Download and Install R" on CRAN and see the instructions for downloading and installing the latest version of R for your version of Ubuntu. Hope this is helpful, Dan Daniel Nordlund Bothell, WA USA
...One more important thing:
After updating your packages with sudo
if you have additional packages installed with
'install.packages("<name>", dependencies=TRUE)' in R
you will have to reinstall them
Regards
Denis

Ajay, you may try to run R as root while updating packages. Some packages insist to install in directories writeable only by root.

Ajay Please avoid cross-posting on two lists. Continue this thread only on thes-ig-debian list. You can't update packages from within R? Did you try to start R with sudo permissions?: sudo R Hope this helps Mat Le 22. 01. 11 07:50, Ajay Ohri a ?crit :
