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

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.

Solution

  • 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
