search for: rprofile

Hi, After updating to R 2.7, my .Rprofile executes twice on startup. I confirmed this by putting in the following line: print("starting .Rprofile...") When I start R, I see: [1] "starting .Rprofile..." [1] "starting .Rprofile..." This seems like the obverse of the following FAQ: http://cran.r-project.org...

I am (for my sins) having to do some work using R under Windoze. I wanted to set up a .Rprofile to control my set-up. The docs on .Rprofile say that it can/should be placed in ``the user's home directory''. ``An Introduction to R'' observes lucidly that this concept needs to be clarified under Windoze. Following the suggestions in An Introduction to R, I tried putting a...

The x11() window can be a nuisance to have popping up at startup (esp. on small screens) when you're not working with graphics. However, currently you can't get rid of it without modifying the systemwide Rprofile. Current logic is: Run $RHOME/library/Rprofile if ./.Rprofile exists run it else if $HOME/.Rprofile exists run that endif I think it should be Run $RHOME/library/Rsetup if ./.Rprofile exists run it else if $HOME/.Rprofile exists run that else if $RHOME/library/Rprofile exists run that end...

I would appreciate some advice on what the preferred contents of RProfile.site vs. .Rprofile should be. A .First() function can reside in either one, but is it preferred to place it in .Rprofile? I currently use .First() in .Rprofile files placed in separate directories used for different RStudio projects. Thank you [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, I'm having some difficulty understanding the documentation relative to the startup files with R-Aqua 2.0.1 for Mac OS X. Specifically, I'm wondering: where does R search for the startup files (my home directory at Users:<me>:?); how should they be named (.RProfile will be treated by Mac OS X as a system file and be hidden, so I'm wondering if it should just be RProfile)? I can't find this platform-specific information in any of the documentation. As a related issue, where would I store my home-grown functions? Would RProfile be a good place to ke...

Hi. Assume I have one ~/.Rprofile (in my home directory) and one ./.Rprofile (in my current working directory). In this case, the latter will have higher priority and will be the script that R uses during the startup process. Is there a *generic* way to programmatically from within ./.Rprofile and ~/.Rprofile to tell what their a...

I'd like to follow up on this one. It may be that I have misunderstood something, but on both R devel (2012-02-22 r58452) and R 2.14.1 patched (2012-02-18 r58394) I can't seem to avoid loading ~/.Rprofile when I run 'R CMD <cmd>', e.g. R CMD build. For me, the loading of ~/.Rprofile by 'R CMD' started a few weeks ago, and I haven't seen it before. More details below. It seems incorrect that for instance 'R CMD check' should load the users ~/.Rprofile file by defa...

In my shell environment, I have set a path to R_PROFILE_USER. The file, Rprofile.R, is a collection of small hacks. I want to build rstudio-server from source. Best is to $ unset R_PROFILE_USER before. Unfortunately, this has no effect on my system. ----------------------------------------------- poisonivy at poppy ?? ~ % R *** Successfully loaded .Rprofile *** Welcome back...

Hi everyone. I have recently installed R 2.14.1 on my 64-bit Windows 7 laptop. I am attempting to include some favourite functions in the Rprofile.site file to run at R start-up as I did with my previous 32-bit XP machine. I have edited the Rprofile.site file in "C:\Program Files\R\R-2.14.1\etc\" but the added code doesn't seem to be executed when I run R, whether through Tinn-R or independently. Any ideas please on what'...

I'm trying to source a file automatically every time I start R. I tried adding the following .First function in a file Rprofile.site in my $R_HOME/etc/ directory (verified $R_HOME by Sys.getenv()) as well as in a file .Rprofile in my $HOME directory and .Rprofile in the working directory: .First <- function(){ source(file.path(Sys.getenv("HOME"), "R", "functions","standard.r"))...

It seems that my Rprofile.site file is not executed when I start R. To test this I included 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 Ho...

dear wizards: my .Rprofile has just one command for testing, loadhistory("~/.Rhistory") but this gives me an error on R startup: Error: couldn't find function "loadhistory" Invoking loadhistory() as the first interactive command works fine; incidentally, I believe loadhistory() in the .Rprofile w...

It could be that the following may be due to something wrong that I managed to do (I cannot think what...) but I submit this report in case it is something that you want to know about (I have solved the problem by removing .Rprofile as I describe below). 1. After compiling/installing R 0.90 (an uneventful process), it worked perfectly the first time, and it read .RData written by the previous version, but later it would not read .RData (written by current version). I finally traced the problem to ~/.Rprofile which someho...

...stom packages upon starting R. A lot of the code that is written by us right now is available for editing to the users. To try and protect the code, I am packaging the production level code and having the users install it on their machine during start up. However, when I try to install packages in RProfile.site file, the program goes into a loop and R is constantly launched over and over. I noticed that a lock file for the package is created along with the package in the library folder within R. Here is the code I have added to the site file: if(length(grep("customPackage", installed.pac...

...=R_HOME\\library and R_LIBS_USER to my private library? Does this also mean that any package that I add with the install.packages() function will then end up in the private library? 3. If I want to start R with a certain set of packages loaded on startup, I understand that I need to create a file .Rprofile with the path R_HOME\\etc\\.Rprofile. Again, should it be .Rprofile or Rprofile (or, is it Rprofile.site which I see is already present in my R installation)? Is the following syntax OK for specifying the environmental variable R_DEFAULT_PACKAGES = {?base?, ?datasets?,?utils?,?ggplot2?,?lattice?}...

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 duration of the session -- they are not written permanentl...

Hi all, After a short hiatus away from R I have found that it's changed a bit. I used to keep a definition of .First in .Rprofile that did a couple of things on startup (load a couple of libraries). Now, I've discovered that when I change the definition of .First in .Rprofile it doesn't change anything when I start up, because .First is held over in .Rdata from the last session. The manual states that now .Rdata i...
