Re: [igraph] the impossibility to install igraph

[Hermann Norpois]

I guess you need to specify the lib directory
https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/utils/html/install.packages.html

"lib character vector giving the library directories where to install the packages. Recycled as needed. If missing, defaults to the first element of .libPaths()"

https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/base/html/libPaths.html

Check sys.glob!

https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/base/html/Sys.glob.html

Try Sys.getenv ().

Hope this helps.

Dear Sir/Madam,

This is Chiao and I am writing to know how to solve some problems I met regarding the impossibility to install packages including igraph, devtools, and Matrix.

According to my lecturer, one way to solve the problem is to change  the security setting of my R folder and also Specify a folder for installation of the libraries (for each package). 

However, my mac laptop still can not work. The console showed that 

> install.packages("igraph") 

trying URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/macosx/mavericks/contrib/3.3/igraph_1.0.1.tgz'

Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 6598610 bytes (6.3 MB)

==================================================

downloaded 6.3 MB

tar: Failed to set default locale

The downloaded binary packages are in

/var/folders/d5/3j28rxgs4y95c4pfjfxn7t580000gn/T//RtmpjOXrw1/downloaded_packages 

[please refer to the attached screen shot 'Failed to..']

For the package 'devtools', 'Matrix', they both had the same warning.

After searching on website, I followed the instruction that put a code sentence at the final line like

system("defaults write org.R-project.R force.LANG en_US.UTF-8") 

[as the attached screen shot 'system..' ] 

I have no idea what to do next. Please help me to solve the problem.

I am looking forward to your reply.

Kind regards,

Chiao
