R SIG Debian - Apr 2022 - Where/how to set R_LIBS_SITE in R 4.2.0 for running R as R --vanilla to pick up "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/"

Sam,

Please try to debug locally. There are command-line switches to R that allow
you to turn sourcing of initializations files off, you can also try to see if
it is different for 'root' as opposed to you account.

When I chase something like that his I typically

 a) add lines like message("running from file foo") in Rprofile,
    Rprofile.site, ~/.Rprofile etc
 b) set env vars in each Renviron / Renviron.site / ~/.Renviron  file to see
    which are being hit.

Something somewhere turns some values off for you. I can't tell from here
what caused it.

Dirk, thanks.

I will try to debug locally. Thanks for the instructions.

Just to make sure it is only me: when you run the following commands ($
Rscript -e '.libPaths()') without and with --vanilla on your system you
get
the same output (as you see below I don't):
username at usernameVB:~$ Rscript -e '.libPaths()'
[1] "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library"
"/usr/lib/R/site-library"
[3] "/usr/lib/R/library"
username at usernameVB:~$ Rscript --vanilla -e '.libPaths()'
[1] "/usr/lib/R/site-library" "/usr/lib/R/library"

Thanks.

Best regards,
Sam
