Naive question, I know, but when I affirm that I want to download R update packages that must be compiled, it seems that I have installed in the past all of the C++, Fortran, and other compilers I need to have these packages downloaded, compiled, linked, and added to my libraries. I don’t understand all of the copious text that flows in the console during this update process. My question: I assume no obvious error message means that the downloaded updates were compiled and installed properly. Is that a good assumption? If not, what message(s) do I look for to ensure I have a successful update process?
