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, I am interested in customizing the installation of R. I have gone through the ?R Installation and Administration? manual. But some of the stuff is not clear to me and I would like to get clarifications on the following points (for a Windows installation with R_HOME=C:\\R\\R-2.9.1 ) : 1. I understand that I need to create a file, .Renviron with the following path : R_HOME\\etc\\.Renviron where

Hi! I do not have an Rprofile file in $R_HOME/etc, but I do have one in $R_HOME/library/base/R. I thought I could include a .First() function in a new $R_HOME/etc/Rprofile file for attaching a couple files which have custom "always needed" functions. But would the new $R_HOME/etc/Rprofile create a conflict with $R_HOME/library/base/R/Rprofile (in particular because the later also has a

I'm the faculty member in my department who advises our IT staff on the details of installing R for students and faculty on our Windows 7 lab network. We are about to upgrade from R 3.1.1 to R 3.2.1, and once that is done, this version of R and all installed packages will be frozen in the image that appears in C:/Program Files/R/R-3.2.1/ on every lab computer, and this image is refreshed

I'm new to R, so apologies if the answer to my question is very obvious to everyone else! I use the carbon version of R (1.5.1), not the Darwin version. After a bit of a battle, I'm getting to grips with using R, and really getting to like it, but I'm still having trouble customising startup the way I'd like it. Reading ?Startup, I see that I can specify some commands to be run

Colleagues, I am trying to understand how R (2.12.1) obtains the PATH environment variable in Windows (7 or Vista). Startup {base} directs one to: "R_ENVIRON" -- which equals "" in my systems R_HOME/etc/Renviron.site -- which does not exist Next, it directs to: R_HOME/etc/Rprofile.site -- which also does not exist (the expected behavior in a "factory-fresh"

library() takes lib.loc as the third argument. Where is this set?

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",

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?

Dear developers, I am writing a package that depends on some other packages. The dependencies are stated in the `description' file under "Depends". They are installed in my private library, which is pointed to by setting R_LIBS in .Renviron, and are available if R is started normally. However, when I try to `R CMD check' my package, R complains about the dependencies being not

I'm running R on Linux and use emacs as my editor. When doing "edit(vignette(foo.vignette))" I would like to invoke emacs rather than the default vi. I am able to manually set this by editing $R_HOME/etc/Renviron but would like to avoid doing this with each install. I assume this can be accomplished with a flag to .configure or in .Rprofile but I can't find the syntax in R-admin.

Hi everyone, Two minor points about ?.Renviron. 1) If R_ENVIRON is not set then R defaults to `${R_HOME}/etc/Renviron', not `${R_HOME}/etc/Renviron.site' as stated. 2) In the details, there is a missing "way" in "`value' is processed in a similar to a Unix shell."

[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

Dear R-List member, I have installed the new version of R on my PC (see system details below). I can start the RGui with http_proxy succesfully. However, I do encounter two problems: 1) After starting the Rgui the following error message is displayed (vertical dots represent omissions of output): R : Copyright 2003, The R Development Core Team Version 1.7.0 (2003-04-16) . . . .

Some of the R code uses PATH_MAX but a lot of other functions in unix/sys-unix.c and main/startup.c just hardcodes a limit of 256 characters. In my environment this is not

Dear all, When installing the usual packages that I use, after installing R 3.0.1, I noticed that the installation of some packages that query R about its configuration did not succeed. The problem is exemplified by: berwin at bossiaea:~$ R-3.0.1 CMD config CC /opt/R/R-3.0.1/lib/R/bin/config: 222: .: Can't open /opt/R/R-3.0.1/lib/R/etc/Renviron Prior to R 3.0.1 such commands worked fine:
