Dear All, the last expression in the following code snippet crashes R (version 2.3.1 on Windows XP) when run interactively: make.bad.function <- function(kind) { zz <- switch(kind, "1" = 1, "2" = 2) stopifnot( !is.null(zz) ) eval( bquote( function(x) { x + .(zz) })) } #

Hi, All, I have come across a problem building a DLL from .f90 source (R 2.3.1, Windows XP). When using the R CMD SHLIB procedure, the DLL itself was being built, but its export table was empty. Among the output from R CMD SHLIB the following message appeared: c:\mingw\bin\nm.exe: 'a.out': No such file The reason is the empty list of dependencies in the pattern rule for DLLs

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

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:

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

Martin, I am aware of --vanilla; I use it myself for some testing. In this case R_LIBS_USER was set externally (part of my login) and does not involve any of the R scripts. That means it is inherited by any subprocess. For example: tmt1495% R --vanilla --no-environ R version 3.3.1 (2016-06-21) -- "Bug in Your Hair" Copyright (C) 2016 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing

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),

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

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

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, 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 Johannes, Dear Dirk, Thanks a lot for helping. Here is the missing information. Here is how I installed R. This is basically how Martin Maechler showed me to install R under Ubuntu (in several versions so that they are also recognized by ESS). My goal is to adjust this to make it work for Debian: 1) sudo emacs /etc/apt/sources.list # then add: deb

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

Dear All, I would like to reset default R_HOME PATH for R.3.1.3. I installed R-devel in /usr/local/R-devel but I can't install many packages as tcltk. I uninstalled R-devel and I would reuse R.3.1.3 but the PATH is remaining to /usr/local/R-devel. I touch ~.Renviron file with R_HOME=/usr/lib/R/bin/ RSTUDIO_R_HOME=/usr/lib/R/bin/ R_LIBS=~/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.1

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

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, 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

When I install a new version of R (Windows XP) I have to: 1. copy my rw....\etc\Rprofile.site file to the new installation 2. copy the rw....\share\texmf files to the tex subfolder of the miktex root directory and then refresh the miktex name database (I have a batch file that does this for me which I run whenever I install a new version of R.) 3. setup the shortcut key using

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

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
