But, I forgot to turn this function on before installing Bioconductor, so I terminated the process of the installation. Then, I tried to authorize R to run system command as root, I failed to do that because I saw the locker was not open. I am sure my login and password are correct. How can I recover this function?


I guess there is a 00lock directory in your library now (because of 
terminating incorrctly before). Simply remove that directory manually.
