R package 'survival' version problem

Question

[cromero]

Hi all,

I have a problem with versions in R console:

My R version is: 3.5.2 The problem is with the 'survival' package, the version i have installed now is 3.1-12 and when i try to run the package, is saying :

library(survival) Warning message: package ‘survival’ was built under R version 3.5.3

I also tried to downgrade to the version 2.44 or 2.41 and the result is the same.

I hope you can help me to identify with version i have to install or why is showing to me that error.

There is any place a RACI with the pacage version depending on the R version you have?

thanks

Use conda and create a new environment with the desired version of the package you need.

I suspect R is picking up first a survival version you can not update (probably system-wide R library folder), and when you install / upgrade / downgrade, it doesn't make any difference because the system-wide folder has precedence over your personal library folder.

What is the output of:

sessionInfo()

.libPaths()

[cromero]

here the result of both commands:

sessionInfo()

You can try to set a new library PATH with .libPaths( ""C:/Users/hidden/Documents/R/win-library/3.5" ), or call library() with the lib.loc = parameter. See ?.libPaths and ?library for more information.

If this doesn't solve your problem, consider using conda, as RamRS suggested.

Hi ,

My Library by default should be "D:/tibco/R-3.5.2/library" is the place I have all the packages. There is any way to still using this library and solve the issue?

Sorry but, I'm not an expert with R or Conda, could you help me about what you mean with create a new environment with the desired package release?

Thanks
