For various reasons I am forced to use R installed on wine instead the native linux installation I have. The installation works perfectly, but as soon as I try to install additional packages through typing install.packages("package") the installation crashes, as R tries to create temporary files on my Linux hard drive! Here comes the error:
Error in .install.winbinary(pkgs= pkgs, lib = lib, contriburl = contriburl, :
couldn't create temporary directory ‘Z:\tmp\RtmpHIEA7S\downloaded_packages’
And Z: seems to be equivalent to my root directory. Does anybody know how to change this behaviour in R? For example would it be possible to tell R to only install packages on the C: drive?
Thanks!
