My version of R is not silent:
> setwd("/notHere")
Error in base::setwd(dir) : cannot change working
directory> library(notHere)
Error in library(notHere) : there is no package called 'notHere'
Can you give the specific context in which you are using it.

Currently R is very silent. I did fix the problem once using 'options'
(show.error.messages, I think), but id doesn't seem to be working any more,
and R doesn't tell me if I have an error in my command.
