Hello,

I am new to this program. I initially installed both R and R Studio 3
months ago, easily and got a d-base icon from the package I needed, and saw
my tables in spreadsheet form in studio. Now, everything has disappeared on
its own -seriously nothing changed.  When trying to get my package back, I
get this:

Error: could not find function "intall.packages"
Installing package into ‘/Users/Computer/Library/R/3.1/library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
trying URL '
http://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/CRAN/bin/macosx/mavericks/contrib/3.1/SoDA_1.0-6.tgz'
Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 255365 bytes (249 Kb)

The downloaded binary packages are in

/var/folders/bd/7z7gw4w953sd0tmgsrhdqw680000gn/T//RtmpTAMQLx/downloaded_packages

var is a private directory. Though I can pull individual tables from the
package (Lahman), they are now unlinked. SQL and stat commands are rejected
by R and Studio. I tried about 2 dozen methods of changing the directory,
specifying .lib and libPaths, (at least the ones online I understood), and
nothing worked, I moved the package (Lahman) to an R directory, but I did
not see it, and there seems to be no way to turn it back into a working
d-base in the working dir complete with icon suggesting it is locked and
loaded. I have tried clean installs of everything, yet R-Studio seems to
remember what I did last (I don't know how). I need this back the way it
was: a functioning d-base from Lahman package in R-Studio and R.
Suggestions seriously needed. It seems unfixable, and the "var' problem
seems very rare. Thanks for reading this.

Cheers,
RCD
