[R-sig-ME] Problem-installing-package-GlmmADMB

[Phillip Alday]

I've run into this issue with rstan when using RStudio (from a conda
installation, but I think RStudio is the relevant bit). As part of its
support of project-based workflows, RStudio does some managing of the
working directory and I think that's what blocks changing the working
directory. In my case, I was unable to install the rstan examples from
RStudio, but was able to do so from the standalone R.

Best,
Phillip
