Problems installing R packages

问题


I'm setting up a new laptop running Gentoo and wish to install R (as I do on all of my computers!).

However, I've hit a bit of a problem when it comes to installing packages.

I first tried to:

> install.packages(c("ggplot2", "plyr", "reshape2"))

And it duly downloaded all of the packages and its dependencies. However they didn't install reporting.

Error in library(data.table) : there is no package called ‘data.table’
Calls: .First -> library
Execution halted
Error in library(data.table) : there is no package called ‘data.table’
Calls: .First -> library
Execution halted

Not a problem I'll just install the data.table package, unfortunately...

> install.packages("data.table")

Error in library(data.table) : there is no package called ‘data.table’
Calls: .First -> library
Execution halted

The downloaded source packages are in
    ‘/tmp/RtmpbQtALj/downloaded_packages’
Updating HTML index of packages in '.Library'
Making packages.html  ... done
Warning message:
In install.packages("data.table") :
  installation of package ‘data.table’ had non-zero exit status

And there is no indication of why installation failed at all, so I've no idea how to go about solving this? A traceback() isn't available either.

GCC is installed and configured as the output of gcc-config shows (and the fact that I can install other software from source no problem).

# gcc-config -l
 [1] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.6.3 *

Stumped as to how to go about solving this one. Any thoughts or ideas on how to get more information out of install.packages() welcome.

EDIT : contents of .First as requested....

> .First
function () 
{
    library(data.table)
    library(foreign)
    library(ggplot2)
    library(Hmisc)
    library(lattice)
    library(plyr)
    library(rms)
    library(xtable)
    cat("\nWelcome at", date(), "\n")
}

EDIT 2 : No Rprofile.site but there is /usr/lib64/R/library/base/R/Rprofile which has....

# cat /usr/lib64/R/library/base/R/Rprofile 
### This is the system Rprofile file. It is always run on startup.
### Additional commands can be placed in site or user Rprofile files
### (see ?Rprofile).

### Notice that it is a bad idea to use this file as a template for
### personal startup files, since things will be executed twice and in
### the wrong environment (user profiles are run in .GlobalEnv).

回答1:


Looks like data.table is not installed for the user that is running the install.packages command. I think wrapping that .First function in if (interactive()) { } would be a good idea in general. Otherwise, you need to install data.table and any other packages that load at startup since install.packages runs the .Rprofile file when starting
