[R] Setting .Rprofile for RStudio on a Windows 7 x64bit
I should haved added full.names=TRUE to the dir() call. I you add
that I'd expect that you would see ".../etc/Rprofile.site". What
do
you see when you do
writeLines(readLines(".../etc/Rprofile.site")
and
source(echo=TRUE, ".../etc/Rprofile.site")
(replace the ellipsis by whatever dir(full.names=TRUE,...) showed).
