I recently took "." off my PATH for security reasons and now find
that R does not work in my home directory where the .Renviron
file resides.
The fix is simple. In the R shell startup section replace
". .Renviron" by ". ./.Renviron". The relevant section is:
# Startup
if ${USE_R_ENVIRON}; then # use the one in current dir, or default
if [ -r .Renviron ]
then . ./.Renviron # <<-- change
else [ -r ${R_ENVIRON} ] && . ${R_ENVIRON}
fi
fi

I cannot reproduce the problem. I never have `.' in my PATH and when I do cat > foo echo I am here CTRL-D . foo I get "I am here". Of course, this happens on Debian GNU/Linux. Is this a system-specific problem or feature? -k -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
