similar to: Renviron settings for Linux Distributions: please tell me R Core's advice

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

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

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),

Martyn, No, that didn't work. One other thing in the mix (which I don't think is the issue) is that I call one of the C-entry points of expm. So the DESCRIPTION file imports expm, the NAMESPACE file imports expm, and the init.c file is #include "R.h" #include "R_ext/Rdynload.h" /* Interface to expm package. */ typedef enum {Ward_2, Ward_1, Ward_buggy_octave}

(As a non-root/non-admin), I've just tried to figure out how to prevent a default $R_HOME/site-library/ to be added to the library path. The solution I found was to environment variable R_LIBS_SITE to ":" (preferably in ~/.Renviron). Note that setting R_LIBS_SITE to en empty string will cause it to fall back to using $R_HOME/site-library/. This "hack" is based on the

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.

Hi, What is the best way to tell a locally-built R-devel (somewhere in the user home directory) to use the libraries from the Debian installation (i.e. /usr/local/lib/R/site-library and /usr/lib/R/site-library). I suppose this would take setting one or all of R_LIBS, R_LIBS_SITE, R_LIBS_USER in ~/.Renviron, but that would also affect the Debian R in the system so is not an option. How do R

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:

Hi, everybody. I've got some Centos Linux systems and some Ubuntu Linux systems. R's basically the same in either place, but the packaging of R for Debian systems seems better to me than it is on Fedora/Redhat/Centos. I joined R-sig-debian and we talk about package management issues there sometimes. One of the really handy R packaging ideas they have is to customize R environment so

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

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 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
