Eclipse StatET for R can't find installed libaries (windows)

Question

I have a working Eclipse workspace for R development using the StatET plugin. I can install libraries the normal way, for example:

install.packages("rgdal")

But when I attempt to use the library:

library(rgdal)

R says:

Error in library(rgdal) : there is no package called 'rgdal'

Using the R GUI on the same computer works fine.

Also, in case it is relevent - using installed.packages() doesn't show the newly installed rgdal package when I use Eclipse. But in the R GUI it does.

No, that's the strange thing, it works fine, and I've checked the download directories and the packages appear where they should! Could it be a setup issue in Eclipse? — Single Entity, Apr 01 '15 at 13:36
what does .libPaths() show you when called from Eclipse/StatET; maybe also compare that to .libPaths() from within R GUI — GWD, Apr 01 '15 at 13:49

It turns out, having Eclipse and the R GUI open at the same time was causing conflict, closing down the R GUI solved the issue
