similar to: Windows R_LIBS_USER confusion under R-3.0.1

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]

> 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

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 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

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?

Dear all, the recent update to R-3.4.1 kind of screwed the path to the libraries installed on a user basis. The previous version of the file /etc/R/Renviron had the following line activated: R_LIBS_USER=${R_LIBS_USER-'~/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4'} This one is commented in the current one which means that the path to the libraries installed previously is not found. I never

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

Hi An upgrade to R 3.4.1 on Ubuntu removed the default setting of R_LIBS_USER in /etc/R/Renviron. What's the rationale behind this? Thanks. Best regards Kirill

Hi, I see R by default installs packages in ~/R. I know I can change the default directory with R_LIBS_USER, but software shouldn't be polluting the home directory. For example both python and node install packages to ~/.local/lib, ruby to ~/.local/share. They don't install to for example ~/node. R should do the same: it should install packages to somewhere inside ~/.local by default.

Dear all. I am trying to install missing (not installed) packages during startup of R through code in Rprofile.site but I miserably failed and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. R is installed to C:Program files but it is not writable for the users, therefore I cannot change Rprofile.site located in root etc directory. I however can put Rprofile.site in users home directory (Documents)

?Startup says: "Note that when the site and user profile files are sourced only the base package is loaded, so objects in other packages need to be referred to by e.g. utils::dump.frames or after explicitly loading the package concerned." So you need utils::installed.packages and utils::install.packages . Duncan Murdoch On 21/03/2023 8:04 a.m., PIKAL Petr wrote: > Dear all.

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
