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

Hello, I am trying to install R and have it running through ESS on a Vista machine that is not mine (I am only familiar with Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux) so please pardon my unfamiliarity... The Rgui.exe installation works fine and package installation also appears to work fine. The base packages are installed in C:/Program Files/R/R-2.8.0/library/ and user-installed packages are installed in

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've found that the HTML help system started via help.start() requires all forward slashes in R_LIBS_USER otherwise the Packages page is corrupt/non-working. Note that by default R_LIBS_USER is set by R on startup. Example 1: With R_LIBS_USER=C:/Users/JohnDoe/R/win-library/2.10 > help.start() [and go to "Packages"] If nothing happens, you should open

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

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

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

Dear R-devel: i have noticed a little wrinkle in R packaging for RPM systems and have communicated with the package maintainer at RedHat Tom Callaway (see far below). Here is the question: Where does R Core Team want packagers to fiddle around with R library paths? Currently, the RPM Spec file used for EPEL's R (For Fedora/Redhat/Centos,etc) adds a line in R_HOME/etc/Renviron like this:

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 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

That is _you_ as the user installing _locally compiled packages_. For those you can alter where they

This is a follow-up to a question I asked a few years back. We have a pair of computers that share a common home directory (and therefor a common .Renviron) with identical hardware, but very different sets of libraries such that using a "shared" R_LIBS between two computers does not work. They both use this as the default library for user installations:

I have not intentionally set R_LIBS_USER. I looked for an Renviron.site file but did not see it in R/etc or my home directory. The strange part is that if I print Sud.getenv I see a value for R_LIBS_USER. However, this directory is not showing under libPaths. I though .libPaths should contain R_LIBS_USER. I also noticed that R related variables are not in the system or user variables because I

Hi, Having currently a big problem with R 2.10.1 vanilla (Solaris): As soon as the R_LIBS_USER env var gets bigger than 1023 chars R completely ignores it and uses the default: > Sys.getenv('R_LIBS_USER'); R_LIBS_USER "${R_LIBS_USER-~/R/i386-pc-solaris2.11-library/2.10}" The strange thing is, if I set another envar to the same

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

> Your best bet really to govern your .libPaths from your Rprofile.site and Renviron.site ... To do this for any version of R, one can add: R_LIBS_USER=~/.local/share/R/%p-library/%v to ~/.Renviron or the Renviron.site file. This automatically expands to the platform and R x.y version early on when R starts up, e.g. ~/.local/share/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.2. > rather than asking a

Hello, I'm having some trouble trying to set the .libPaths() on Windows 7, R-2.15.0 and R-2.15.1. The environment variables R_LIBS and R_LIBS_USER are set according to the help page for .libPaths() and the Rprofile.site file has the default setting, as shown below. R-2.14.1 recognizes the lib paths but not R-2.15. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? (I've also tried with
