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 :
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 Websites- http://decisionstats.com [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Ajay, Please make sure you have followed all the instructions listed here: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/ If that does not solve the issue, please list the lines added to your /etc/apt/sources.list file and what commands you used to upgrade R. Michael

Hey Mat sudo R works! Also I modified the etc/sources.list to include a CRAN destination instead of the debian instances. thanks :)) only thing- i had to practically re install all packages from scratch. is there any way to avoid re-installing all packages if you are upgrading to a new R version in Ubuntu Linux
Ajay, In a word: install your "individual" packages in your home directory in a non version specific directory. See the ADMINISTRATION AND MAINTENANCE OF R PACKAGES section of the CRAN Ubuntu Readme file: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/ Vincent
