I am working on a Redhat 7 linux server and utilizing an extremely old version of R (3.0.3 to be exact). I had to install this version of R from a source file.
I properly configured the Renviron file to point towards a location where I installed old R packages. Thus, when I use R it points to:
"/apps/r/library_3.0.3"
"/apps/r/R-3.0.3/library"
When I run
Rscript /path/to/some/script.R
or something similar the scripts run fine. All packages can be loaded and used as expected.
However when I open the R shell and use the command
rbatch("some/path/to/file", seed=i, universes= somevalue)
I receive an error that says
R --vanilla --args seed 1 universes SA < path/to/script > /path/to/some/*.Rout1
Error: package or namespace load failed for 'package':
package 'package' was installed by an R version with different internals; it needs to be reinstalled for use with this R version.
I reinstalled the same package multiple times (utilized R CMD, install.libraries(), and drag and drop from older server) in both libraries that R points to. I verified that the package was of the right version number, and I was even able to load the packages from the R shell.
I suspect this is an RHEL issue because this whole process runs fine on older operating system (rh6), so I wanted to see if anyone has any ideas on how to troubleshoot this outside what I have already done. Thanks.
