similar to: Support for noarch packages in /usr/share/R/library

R always had all its files below /usr/lib/R, which isn't perfectly in line with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS). We did get some bug reports on this, and I tried to argue for a while that this was consistent upstream behaviour etc pp I would expect the issue to come back again. Brian Ripley had made some changes to R a few months ago which allow to split doc/, include/ and share/ off

I would appreciate getting a clarification of /usr/lib/R/library vs /usr/local/lib/R/site-library. I am running R 1.8 on Debian Linux. On one occasion doing update.packages() resulted in versions of one or more libraries being placed in one of these directories without removing the old version, and the old version took precedence over the new. I'm sorry I did not save the steps I used. I

I want my local libraries to have priority over the system installed ones, which, as far as I can make out from help(".libPaths"), means they have to come first in that list (it doesn't actually_say_ so, but that seems to be the idea). We have R_LIBS_USER which looks made for specifying where I keep my own libraries. Unfortunately it comes last in .libPaths() [which appears to

Hi, Sorry for posting a question that has been asked before but I couldn't quite find the right answer in previous help topics. I am trying to set my library path to a user-specified library ("C:/Users/K/Documents/Work/RLib"). I have used .libPaths("C:/Users/K/Documents/Work/RLib") but when I check the .libPaths(), both the user-specified and default libraries appear. It

Hi, R people. I'm shy reporting this, as a bug in this area sounds very unlikely. Did I make my tests wrongly? I'm still flaky at all this. Let me dare nevertheless, who knows, just in case... Please don't kill me! :-) Not so long ago, I wrote to this list: > (For now, [the library code] works only for me when I do _not_ use `-l > MY/OWN/LIBDIR' at `R CMD INSTALL'

dear dirk, i am following up on our thread on r-help-mailinglist. you advised me to bring it over here. when installing packages from within R, they usually go to a directory defined in R_LIBS_USER, which i have it set in .Renviron. when installing packages via sudo apt install r-cran-.., they go to /usr/lib/R/site-library. is there a possibility to have packages installed to the R_LIBS-USER

Hi, I have Debian Testing running on a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon (2015, 3rd gen.). I would like to have a package library independent of the installed R version. Under Ubuntu, I used to have the following line in ~/.Renviron: R_LIBS=/usr/local/R/library:/usr/lib/R/site-library This worked fine and /usr/local/R/library showed up in .libPaths(). However, under Debian (with the same ~/.Renviron),

Hi, I'm an experienced R user on windows, but new to linux. This may be an issue with how R (or Ubuntu) was install on my computer, but maybe not. I just installed Ubuntu 10.04, I have administrator privileges and am using R 2.11. Here goes: I'd like to change the location where R installs packages not included in the base installation (using install.packages()). Right now it is

Dear List, Further to my earlier email, I note that, for me at least, R CMD check is *not* reading R_LIBS from ~/.R/check.Renviron on R 2.15.2 patched (r61228) and R Under Development (r61660). The only way I can get R CMD check to look for packages in a user-supplied library is by explicitly exporting R_LIBS set to the relevant directory. R CMD build *does* read R_LIBS from ~/.R/build.Renviron

Hello, I'm adding a private library tree in my home directory by adding this to my ~/.Renviron: R_LIBS="~/R/library:${R_LIBS}" so that once in R: R> cat(Sys.getenv("R_LIBS"), "\n") ~/R/library:/usr/local/lib/R/site-library:/usr/lib/R/site-library:/usr/lib/R/library Is this the best way to proceed? Cheers, -- Sebastian P. Luque

I asked a couple of months ago in r-sig-fedora about a difference I noticed between Ubuntu and RedHat/Fedora. Now I think I've figured out the cause is a little issue in packaging but I don't know how to get it fixed. On Ubuntu, the setup is like this. It i is controlled in a file called Renviron R packages built/distributed in RPM are installed to /usr/lib/R/library. R packages built

AFAIU, 'R CMD check --as-cran' tries to hide any site and user package libraries by setting R_LIBS_SITE and R_LIBS_USER. However, contrary to R_LIBS_SITE, it fails for R_LIBS_USER and the user's personal library is still available for test scripts. Should I revise my assumptions, or is that intentional? The short version. Shouldn't: $ R_LIBS_USER='' Rscript --vanilla -e

Thanks to Peter Dalgaard , I have made some decent progress as far as getting R to work in linux . I just want to set my environment variable R_LIBS to /u/etlfs/dev/users/leedsmar/R/library ( in linux ) so that I can install specific packages. Does anyone know the syntax and in which file I set this variable ( .Rprofile etc ). I've looked in the installation manual ( i'm mainly on pg 14

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 all, I'm trying to check a package using R CMD check --as-cran <package>. When I do so, the check fails upon not finding the dependencies which I have installed in a non-standard location. Per the manual, I created ~/.R/check.Renviron : $ cat ~/.R/check.Renviron R_LIBS=/usr/lib64/R/library:/usr/lib64/R/var R_LIBS_SITE=/usr/lib64/R/library:/usr/lib64/R/var No luck. I tried

Hi, I've got a library I'm trying to build, and am having an error on R CMD check... The source is fine, and the script runs OK, but during the script test execution it downloads a library from an online repository, which goes fine and it says that installation was successful... However, after it installs the library OK, it then cannot find it (despite it being installed properly in

Dear List, I'm having considerable trouble setting up my environment (Linux, Fedora 16, Bash) to build and check packages under R Under Development (r61660). I'm doing this to better get a handle on difference in the output from running checks on examples in one of my packages. Note I compiled R Under Development myself The problem I am now having is whenever I try to build my analogue

Hi there, I'm in the following directory: ~/Documents/Rstuff/diceFiles/dice_1.1 The directory "dice" is in this directory, with all the usual build files (DESCRIPTION, NAMESPACE, etc). I'm trying to run the following command: R CMD check dice (where "dice" is the name of the package I'm checking), and I get the following: * checking package dependencies ...

Hi all, I added the following line on the "Renviron.site" file: R_LIBS=C:\Program Files (x86)\R\library And when I start R and run: .libPaths() I don't see this path. On windows XP it worked for me. I am now using windoes 7 (64 bit) with R 32. Is there a reason this shouldn't work? Thanks, Tal ----------------Contact
