similar to: Rprofile.site and check/build (PR#2872)

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

Also, check the settings of R_HOME and/or R_LIBS.

Hello All: I'm still unable to get Rprofile.site to set, e.g., options(max.print=222), as I did with previous versions of R. I just found similar questions posed by Trevor Miles and Ross Bowden with replies by Uwe Ligges and Duncan Murdoch. In addition to the things I tried documented below, I also copied Rprofile.site into "R_HOME/etc/i386" and

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

I'm using R in a student lab with machines running win XP. $RHOME is not writable by the students. How do I set this up so that they can install packages?

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 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:

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

This is the change I suggested earlier - it should just disable more of user/site customization during package installation/removal, and getting more of R 2.8-like behavior back.

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?

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]]

library() takes lib.loc as the third argument. Where is this set? I am modifying the default library search path and everything seems to be ok except for this (I want R_HOME/lib/library rather than R_HOME/library). -- albert chin (china at thewrittenword.com) -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read

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

Hello: I have so far failed to get Rprofile.site to be processed in R 2.15.0 under Windows 7 as I remember having done it in previous version of R. For example, I've included "options(max.print=222)" in "R_HOME/etc/Rprofile.site" (with and without the environmental variable R_HOME set to the install directory of R 2.15.0 in advanced system settings): When I

Hello: I've been using "Rprofile.site" for several years to set the repos environment variable as follows: options(repos=c(CRAN='http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu', CRANextra='http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin') ) However, R 2.15.0 is not recognizing this. Instead, I get the following: options('repos') $repos

I've been kicking the following idea around for a while, and am now proposing to put some version into 1.7.0. I'd be interested in comments on the desirability and the design, before I start writing any code. S4 introduced a file .S.chapters which can contain a list of S chapters (equivalent to R packages) to be loaded on start-up. This was the germ of this proposal. Proposal: Extend

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

Hi, When starting an embedded R I encounter the following issue under certain conditions: ``` Error: package or namespace load failed for ?utils? in if (.identC(class1, class2) || .identC(class2, "ANY")) TRUE else {: missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed ``` (more such errors for grDevices, graphics, and stats) And in the end: ``` Warning messages: 1: package ?utils? in

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.
