similar to: Changing R_HOME

I am troubled by what appears to be a glitch in the current distribution, or in its installation on our system. I've traced it, and found a work- around. Is this normal? Is there a cleaner solution? The problem: During a package installation, the warning message "WARNING: ignoring environment value of R_HOME" from line 31 of <R_HOME>/bin/R is accidentally spliced into the

Hello, I have come across two separate packages that have a Makefile in inst/doc which use the R_HOME variable. In both cases, the path to R_HOME gets munged in such a way that commands that include R_HOME fail on Windows: For example, one Makefile, for the xmapcore package ( https://hedgehog.fhcrc.org/bioconductor/trunk/madman/Rpacks/xmapcore/username/password: readonly) has this:

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

When the R_HOME environment variable is set, R issues a warning messages when it starts up. When doing 'make check' this causes the check for eval-etc.R to fail: [...] make[3]: Leaving directory `/Volumes/app/R/src/R-1.4.0_patched_2002-01-24/tests' running strict specific tests make[3]: Entering directory `/Volumes/app/R/src/R-1.4.0_patched_2002-01-24/tests' running code in

What is the purpose of the variable R_HOME? What value should I set it to? Thanks, James [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

This is my first question to this list and possibly a bit dumb, but anyway: Can anybody tell me, where, e.g. in the "unix" reference release a DEFINITION of char * R_Home can be found? Via Defn.h the "extern" DECLARATION is everywhere, but when I derived a somewhat other main() program my linker complained about the missing definition. Thomas Hoffmann.

Hello, In installation/R/bin/R i notice 1. R_HOME_DIR is hard coded e.g. R_HOME_DIR=/usr/local/lib64/R 2. It ignores R_HOME_DIR echo "WARNING: ignoring environment value of R_HOME" 3. R_SHARE_DIR, R_INCLUDE_DIR and R_DOC_DIR are also hard coded. Is there a reason why these settings do not read the values from the environment variables of the same name (assuming they exist) and

Upgraded to 2.15.1 from 2.15.0 this morning, on Windows 7. I'm setting R_HOME in Control Panel, and before the upgrade, 2.15.0 recognized the value with no problems and would use it to find rprofile.site, etc. Now, after upgrade, neither .0 nor .1 recognize it at all. From the cmd line, Windows indicates it is definitely set to the value I've specified. Anyway, as a result, R is not

As you may recall, a Debian user complained last year about how R is out of line with respect to the filesystem standards (where, in essence, architecture independent files should be in /usr/share, not /usr/lib). While I more or less just told him to get lost, I think it was mostly BDR who actually added support for this over the summer -- so a public Thanks! first. As of a few weeks ago, I now

I'm trying to install packages in Gentoo Linux using install.packages(). The packages download fine, but when it comes to installation, I get this message: WARNING: ignoring environment value of R_HOME /var/tmp/portage/R-1.5.1/image//usr/lib/R/bin/Rcmd: /var/tmp/portage/R-1.5.1/image//usr/lib/R/bin/Rcmd: No such file or directory I have the R_HOME set to the correct value (/usr/lib/R), but I

(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

R-help -- I built R-2.2.1 in my own directory on a sun (solaris). Now I would like the sysadmin to move the contents to /usr/local/lib and place the binary in /usr/local/bin. No problem. However, the RHOME variable defaults to the directory from which R was built so it is not usable by anyone but me or ROOT. I would like to avoid building this again if possible. Any ideas? Thanks, Dan

Greetings, I have a computer with the following setup: 1)cblfs (pure 64-bit (amd64) linux), kernel2.6.34 gcc4.4.2 2)R-2.11.1 I compiled R with BLAS and lapack using the switched ( --with-blas="- lpthread -latlas -lfptf77blas" --with-lapack="-llapack -lcblas" ). (( http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Linear-algebra) ) Prior to compiling R-2.11.1 sh

We have seen problems with a number of packages which use R/Rscript to run R code in configure or makefiles. (a) You must give a full path: there need be no version of R in the path, and if there is it might not be the version/build of R under which package installation is being done. So the general form is to use ${R_HOME}/bin/R to select the right version. And since ${R_HOME} might

Full_Name: Murray Stokely Version: 2.10.1 OS: Linux Submission from: (NULL) (216.239.45.4) The Defn.h header includes limits.h for PATH_MAX and then checks if it hasn't been defined and if not sets something manually. Some of the R code uses PATH_MAX but a lot of other functions in unix/sys-unix.c and main/startup.c just hardcodes a limit of 256 characters. In my environment this is not

Hi, Recently, I made an R package that used the C++ library Boost.Thread (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/doc/html/thread.html) for multithreading. Previously, I have posted a question at stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19651954/is-it-possible-to-build-an-r-package-which-use-rcpp-and-boost-thread-on-http), and I also asked at rcpp-devel

First I tried 'setenv R_SHELL /usr/local/bin/bash', as bash is the weapon of choice for the faculty wishing to use R, then ran ./configure as before. The ./configure output line using as R_SHELL for scripts ... /usr/local/bin/bash would seem to indicate that the R_SHELL environment variable was recognized and acknowledged. However, I got the same build error: gnumake[2]: Entering

Hi, I am trying to put some graphics I have generated from R on a webpage using dev2bitmap to create a bitmap, .BMP, file. When I look at my notes from 2 or 3 months ago I was successfully able to put the ACTIVE device plot result into a bitmap file using a command such as: dev2bitmap("InsectSpray.BMP") Job done! Now when I try the same command, I get the following: >
