R install.packages returns "failed to create lock directory"


r package rcpp

On NFS file systems it is sometimes not obvious what things you have to close.

The best way to avoid this is to use the --no-lock argument on the command line, i.e.:

R CMD INSTALL --no-lock <pkg>

From within R, you can do this from within your command using:

install.packages("Rcpp", dependencies = TRUE, INSTALL_opts = '--no-lock')

r package rcpp

This happens when your last package installation has interrupted abnormally. to fix this you should remove the locked file. For example Execute this command in R console:

unlink("/home/me/src/Rlibs/00LOCK-Rcpp", recursive = TRUE)

Hope this helps!

r package rcpp

The easiest way to avoid this issue is before installing any package run the line below

options("install.lock"=FALSE)

Then try the install.packages("name_of_package") to install the package. The 00LOCK error would not come.
