search for: r_profile

Dear R-devel, There seems to be a bug in the Startup section, regarding the R_PROFILE environment variable in Windows. If not a bug in the Startup itself, perhaps a bug in the documentation. According to ?Startup: Then R searches for the site-wide startup profile unless the command line option '--no-site-file' was given. The name of this file...

According to R-exts: The second purpose for @file{install.R} is to hold code that needs to be executed each time the package is attached, after the image is loaded. Few packages have a need for such code so @file{install.R} is normally an empty file. The optional file @file{R_PROFILE.R} is executed before the code in the @file{R} subdirectory and should be used to set up an environment needed only to evaluate the code (which is run with the @option{--vanilla} command-line flag). Very few packages will need such code. Indeed, both @file{install.R} and @file{R_PROFILE.R}...

I am running R 2.8.1 on SUSE Linux. I would like to be able to set R_PROFILE to two different possibilities. One when R is called by R CMD BATCH and another any other time. Is this possible? Mark Lyman, Statistician Engineering Systems & Integration, ATK

Hi, After some reading and experimentation I found that I cannot solve this problem: 1. I am starting R and check: > system("pwd") /home/woodstock/hoffmacw/R/test > system("echo $HOME") /home/woodstock/hoffmacw > system("echo $R_PROFILE") /home/woodstock/hoffmacw/R > system("ls $R_PROFILE/.Rprofile") /home/woodstock/hoffmacw/R/.Rprofile > system("cat $R_PROFILE/.Rprofile") # gives system("pwd") (editedOn <- "2004-06-15, 11:10") .Last <- function() { cat("Adi...

R-exts says Both install.R and R_PROFILE.R should be viewed as experimental; the mechanism to execute code before attaching or installing the package may change in the near future. With the other facilities available as from R 2.0.0 they should be removed if possible. Every usage of these on CRAN is unnecessary. If you want to s...

...ncluded the following code in that file: .First <- function(){ cat("\nWelcome at", date(), "\n") flush.console() } When I start R the message above is not displayed. I am running R 2.6.1 (rgui.exe) under Vista Home Premium. The Rprofile.site is in the etc folder and the R_PROFILE variable has the value "". I looked in the help (?Startup) but could not figure out what is wrong. Any suggestions? Thanks. FS

On Debian/Ubuntu, system wide environment variables and options are set in respectively /etc/R/Renviron.site and /etc/R/Rprofile.site. These files are automatically created when r-base is installed, and do not get overwritten during an upgrade. On Fedora, there is no /etc/R directory. What is the recommended place to define system wide environment variables and options on a Fedora system?

I get crashes when I call R without any arguments and having no environment variables R_PROFILE and RPROFILE. The reason is, that in unix/sys-common.c in R_OpenSiteFile() fopen is called with a null ptr as filename (because this is the outcome of getenv()). Although most compilers seem to interpret this as "file not found", this is an undefined behavior concerning to all C stand...

Not sure whether this is a feature or bug -- but it does not appear to be documented. R1.6.1 on Windows NT 4.00.1381 Objects assigned in the Rprofile.site file (e.g. foo<-'something') are put into package:base not .GlobalEnv on startup. Objects assigned in the .Rprofile file are put into .GlobalEnv. This doesn't seem consistent to me. The objects exist in base only for the

What is the recommended way to change the default set of packages that are loaded at startup by R for Windows? I am writing vignettes for the Devore6 package which my introductory engineering statistics students will use and I would like to describe how the R environment can be changed so that this package is loaded by default. I understand from the R for Windows FAQ that one way would be to

...dencies if there are unnecessary entries, and load time will be slowed (although with lazy-loading that is a much smaller penalty than it used to be). This change should enable the installation procedure to be simplified for packages which save images -- you can probably omit both install.R and R_PROFILE.R and use fields in DESCRIPTION instead -- see `Writing R Extensions'. More details of recommended changes will appear on the developer site nearer release time. -- Brian D.
