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, When I install a package as a non-root user, it gets saved in a path such as ~/R/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-library/3.4 for any R version 3.4.x. Thus, if I want to install the packages somewhere else, as root say, I might do install.packages("somepackage","/some/where/else/R/site-library/3.4") In this case I would then want to construct the appropriate path in, say,

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.

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'm the faculty member in my department who advises our IT staff on the details of installing R for students and faculty on our Windows 7 lab network. We are about to upgrade from R 3.1.1 to R 3.2.1, and once that is done, this version of R and all installed packages will be frozen in the image that appears in C:/Program Files/R/R-3.2.1/ on every lab computer, and this image is refreshed

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, 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

Using: natty alpha-2 Could anyone englighten me (or point me to a self-enlightment page) as to why when installing R using: > apt-get install revolution-mkl r-revolution-revobase revolution-r r-base-core There are 4 library paths available (installed by default): > .libPaths() [1] "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library" "/usr/lib/R/site-library" [3]

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 did some googling and then ran: > bspm::shadowed_packages() ???? Package???????????????? LibPath Version??????

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

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

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

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

Hi, Back in June I posted the message below, but had no replies. I've made a little progress since then so this is to update anyone interested (!) and to ask for comments. Brief problem statement: Under Windows, some parts of R don't handle UNC paths beginning with backslashes. Specifically a) Sys.glob() fails to find some files breaking (e.g.) Rcmdr plugins
