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

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

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

I'm not sure I follow what.the problem is. Are you trying to set R_LIBS_USER but R does not acknowledge it, or do you observe something in R that you didn't expect to be there and you are trying to figure out why that is / where that happens?

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 have a computer where R_LIBS_USER is not found in libPaths. This is for Windows (x64). I ran R from the command line, RGui and RStudio and I get the same results. I also ran R --vanilla and I still get the discrepancy. The only thing I found interesting was that I also ran SET from the command line and the "R related variables" (e.g., R_HOME; R_LIBS_USER) are not there. Therefore

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

One descriptive statistic that is conspicuously missing from core R is the statistical mode - the most frequent value in a discrete distribution. I would like to propose adding the attached 'statmode' (or a similar function) to the 'stats' package. Currently, it can be quite cumbersome to calculate the mode of a distribution in R, both for experts and beginners. The lack of a

I have a local library 'dart' that imports "httr". It has routines that access central patient data such as birth date, so it is heavily used locally but of no interest to anyone else. The httr library (and 300 others) are in a shared directory, referenced by everyone in the biostatistics group via adding this location to the .libPaths in their default .Rprofile.

> 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

I present you with a function that solves a problem that has bugged me for many years. I think the problem may be general enough to at least consider adding this function, or a revamped version of it, to the 'stats' package, with the other multinomial functions reside. I'm using R to export data to text files, which are input data for an external model written in C++. Parts of the

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

Hello, I am developing some packages. Package1 requires Package2, both of which I developed: Right now Package2 is installed properly here: /myHome/libraries/Package2 Package1 needs Package2. Package1 refers to Package2 both in the Roxygen @import field for one of the functions, and also in the Imports section in the DESCRIPTION However, when I do ?R CMD check Package1? I get: * checking

Dear all, I am forced to work in an environment without administrator rights. When using R2.13.1 on Windows 7 (64-Bit), I found that I can?t install or update any packages due to missing writing permissions. I managed to get full access to a directory on my C:\ drive now - but how do I specify that all libraries shall be installed into this directory? In Rcmd_environ I have the following

I'm having trouble running `updates.packages()' and installing into a personal library. Setup: 1. .Renviron file contains: R_LIBS_USER="~/lib/R/%p-library/%v" 2.

Hi Here's a warning for you. If you start R today and it can't find any packages in your home directory that it did find yesterday, don't faint. You'll see something like this: > library(data.table) Error in library(data.table) : there is no package called 'data.table' and your user home folder R packages will no longer appear in path: > .libPaths() [1]

Dear Martin, Thank you for the well-reasoned response. I realized I was rather late to make this suggestion for 4.0.0, changing a somewhat low-level function that can indeed affect packages. I was just reviewing some R user scripts that were using type.convert(), mainly on data frames. In all cases, people were passing as.is=TRUE, so I was reminded that I would not be the only user who would
