dear wizards: my .Rprofile has just one command for testing,
loadhistory("~/.Rhistory")
but this gives me an error on R startup:
Error: couldn't find function "loadhistory"
Invoking loadhistory() as the first interactive command works fine;
incidentally, I believe loadhistory() in the .Rprofile worked in
earlier or other platform R releases, too.
Is the .Rprofile now loaded before loadhistory()? if so, this seems to
make it impossible to set up one big history file across directories
(save history prior to exit, then reload automatically on entry). if
not, I probably screwed something up---again.
regards, /iaw

PS: my earlier amd64 gentoo problem was caused by my use of f2c, which
apparently is not happy on amd64 platforms. thanks to those who let me
know the problem.
> find("loadhistory")[1] "package:utils" so see the comments at the top of the NEWS for 1.9.0. You will need to use utils::loadhistory() in .Rprofile, or a loadhook.
