[Env: Win XP, R 2.14.2, R 2.15.0] I have a replacement function for setwd() in my .Rprofile which displays the current R path in the R window title. It no longer works in R 2.15.x, giving the error below. Worse, the error prevents the rest of my .Rprofile script from completing. Is there some way to rescue this, i.e., preserve this behavior in R 2.15? If not, how can I modify my script so it

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

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",

Smith Version: 1.9.0 OS: WinXp Submission from: (NULL) (129.255.217.48) WinXP; R 1.9.0 running under Rgui.exe. winMenuAdd calls via my .Rprofile file do not seem to work and, instead, result in the following error message after the R GUI starts: Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : couldn't find function "winMenuAdd" Any subsequent calls to winMenuAdd from

Dear R Help Members, I have some R functions that plot semiconductor data. I would like to automate these plots for individuals in our group such that they don't have to know R. I have read the R help manuals and postings but have not found this problem. I am using R version 2.0.1 under a Windows 2000 operating system. The following is a simplified version of what I am tring to do: If

[RFC = Request for Comments] { Yes, the documentation for .Renviron is really not there (but the FAQ...); the rest is in ?Startup } In R's Startup (on Unix only??) {unless --no-environ is specified} ~/.Renviron (if there) is read as an 'sh' script before R is called, then R looks ((for the site-wide Rprofile and then)) for .Rprofile in the current directory and then for

I am having difficulty coming to grips with Appendix B.2 of the otherwise very useful "An Introduction to R" and the related help file for Startup. I am running RGui 1.6.0 on a Windows 2000 machine from the default installation. How the concepts discussed in B.2 and the Startup help file relate to what I see on my machine is something of a mystery. I quote from the Startup file:

Hi all, several packages print messages during loading. How do I avoid to see them when the packages are in the defaultPackages? Here is an example. With this in ~/.Rprofile ,----[ ~/.Rprofile ] | old <- getOption("defaultPackages") | options(defaultPackages = c(old, "filehash")) | rm(old) `---- I get as last line when starting R: ,---- | filehash: Simple key-value

hi everybody I wonder if there is a simple way, but not simple would be ok too, to customize info/welcome page at session start time? what I'd like to do is to put together simple short howto / dos & don'ts page for users, I'm thinking it would be great if it was possible many thanks [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Folks: Winnt; R1.7.0 (freshly installed) running under Rgui.exe.,MDI=yes. The following is repeatable: On startup, in my Rprofile.site file, I use winMenuAdd() etc. to install some user menus. However, they do not appear when R GUI window opens. If I minimize and restore the window, the added menus now are present. The exact same procedure under 1.6.2 with exactly the same Rprofile.site and

Dear guRus, I'm maintaining central R installation (Linux) for our institute. The startup screen of R traditionally echoes some messages (starting with "R version ...Copyright (C).. The R Foundation for Statistical Computing...") and I'd like to display for example right after these messages some other messages about our specific setup, how to contact me etc ... What

Currently when R starts up it can be configured by a file of environment variable specifications and a file of R code. This makes programmatic modification of startup configuration tricky. Case in point: I start R, do install.packages("foo"), and up pops the 'choose a CRAN mirror' dialog. I'd like to put a 'Save my choice' button on that dialog. Currently it would

Hi, Main objective: Let Rgui find my ~/.Rprofile and ~/.Renviron files, where ~ is equal to getwd("~"). I have few comments/questions: (A) On my WinXP Pro installation, the system environment variable 'HOME' is not availble to R, e.g. Sys.getenv("HOME") is empty. I believe this is default case (correct me if I'm wrong). However, if I set the "Start

I think you can already do this via .First(). If you start your .First with something like this [give or take some parentheses] if( !is.null( runfirst <- Sys.getenv( 'RUNFIRST'))) try( eval( parse( text=runfirst)))) then whatever you pass in as RUNFIRST=... should get executed on startup. Could even be a call to source(...) if you want to source a particular file. I have a similar

All, 1. I will try and make this clear and concise. Please let me know any information that would be helpful in figuring out this problem (I don't know the relevant information to post). I am on linux- see below for session information. 2. Problem: working directory: home an old version of a function is sourced into the R session and doesn't work working directory: Desktop the

Recently in R-devel, I've noticed that when I start up R, code in .Rprofile (in the working directory) gets sourced but any messages printed out by that code (e.g. by `cat') are printed *before* the introductory statement about R. For example, if I put the line library(KernSmooth) in my .Rprofile file, I get artemis:> R KernSmooth 2.22 installed Copyright M. P. Wand 1997 R :

Hello Folks, When I run the document below through sweave, rgui.exe/rsession.exe leaves a file handle open to the sweave-001.pdf graphic (as verified by process explorer). Pdflatex.exe then crashes (with a Permission Denied error) because the graphic file is locked. This only seems to happen when there is an error in the sweave document. When there are no errors, no file handles are left open.

Hi I run R in Windows. Is there a simple way of changing the prompt symbol ">" to, say, "R>" ? (Not just for a temporary session, but every time R command window is opened.) The documentation of doing this is rather "sparse". Much appreciated for your assistance. Jacob Jacob L van Wyk Department of Statistics University of Johannesburg, APK P O Box 524

Dear people, I compiled a bit of C code into a shared library cftpR.so, and load it into R at runtime using > dyn.load("cftpR.so") This works fine, however when I put .First <- function() { dyn.load("/home/faheem/research/cftp/cftpR.so") } (using absolute path names; also tried with just dyn.load("cftpR.so")), into my .Rprofile to load the library at

I'm using Rprofile file on R1.9.0 startup and inside I'm loading a personal Library which uses winMenuAdd() and I've got this error : Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : couldn't find function "winMenuAdd" I hadn't this problem with others R versions. What Can I do now to avoid that? I'm using R1.9.0 under Win98. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
