similar to: .Renviron and Renviron.site (on Windows XP)

Hi everyone, Two minor points about ?.Renviron. 1) If R_ENVIRON is not set then R defaults to `${R_HOME}/etc/Renviron', not `${R_HOME}/etc/Renviron.site' as stated. 2) In the details, there is a missing "way" in "`value' is processed in a similar to a Unix shell." Cheers, Jonathan. --please do not edit the information below-- Version: platform =

Let me first admit: I am experiencing this bug on a precompiled binary of R for windows, and I know these are not supported. I am not asking for support, but I thought the R developers would want to know about this. # Define: foo.page <- function(x) x # Then, foo.page("a") # actually invokes the pager (!) on object named "a" (if one is defined). # same thing happens

Hi, The following seems to be a bug introduced with version 1.8.0 (it worked without error on my installation of version 1.7.0): > test <- data.frame(time = I(c("2003-08-19:22:55:57"))) > test[["time"]] <- strptime(test[["time"]], format = "%Y-%m-%d:%H:%M:%S") Error in "[[<-.data.frame"(`*tmp*`, "time", value =

When I load an add-on package, is there any way to specify where it ends up in the search path (as with the pos argument to attach())? From the documentation for library(), this doesn't seem like an option. (I know I can detach packages and then reload them in the order I want; I'm looking for a less clumsy way.) Thanks, Jim James A. Rogers, Ph.D. <rogers at cantatapharm.com>

I recently took "." off my PATH for security reasons and now find that R does not work in my home directory where the .Renviron file resides. The fix is simple. In the R shell startup section replace ". .Renviron" by ". ./.Renviron". The relevant section is: # Startup if ${USE_R_ENVIRON}; then # use the one in current dir, or default if [ -r .Renviron ] then .

Hello, Could someone please tell me what I am thinking about incorrectly: f <- function(y) { g <- function(x) x + y g } In the following, I get what I expect based on my understanding of lexical scoping: (f(1))(3) # 4 (f(2))(3) # 5 But now, fs <- lapply(c(1, 2), f) fs[[1]](3) # 5 (Why not 4 ?) fs[[2]](3) # 5 Checking the environments of these functions, I see that

Hello, Has anyone out there encountered a problem like this: xyplot(Plasma ~ Serum | Analyte, data = sp.df, aspect = 1, layout = c(1, 1, 200), scales = list(relation = "free") ) Gives the error: Error in pretty(x[is.finite(x)], ...) : x must be numeric On the other hand, this works (but I don't want the default of having everything on the same

On Debian/Ubuntu, system wide environment variables and options are set in respectively /etc/R/Renviron.site and /etc/R/Rprofile.site. These files are automatically created when r-base is installed, and do not get overwritten during an upgrade. On Fedora, there is no /etc/R directory. What is the recommended place to define system wide environment variables and options on a Fedora system?

Hi, I decided to upgrade to 1.8 today... :-) Anyway, we are writing our own package that is dependent on a bioconductor library - 'affy'. I've checked and when I fire up R, library(affy) behaves as expected... so it all seems to be installed and OK... In the DESCRIPTION file in my package source I have the line: Depends: affy When I run R CMD check simpleaffy I get to: ... *

Colleagues, I am trying to understand how R (2.12.1) obtains the PATH environment variable in Windows (7 or Vista). Startup {base} directs one to: "R_ENVIRON" -- which equals "" in my systems R_HOME/etc/Renviron.site -- which does not exist Next, it directs to: R_HOME/etc/Rprofile.site -- which also does not exist (the expected behavior in a "factory-fresh"

ISSUE: It looks like Rgui.exe never processes ~/.Renviron - only ./.Renviron. REPRODUCIBLE EXAMPLE: On Windows, create the following ~/.Renviron and ~/.Rprofile files: C:\Users\alice> Rscript -e "cat('FOO=123\n', file='~/.Renviron')" C:\Users\alice> Rscript -e "cat('print(Sys.getenv(\'FOO\'))', file='~/.Rprofile')" and launch

Dear R-devel: i have noticed a little wrinkle in R packaging for RPM systems and have communicated with the package maintainer at RedHat Tom Callaway (see far below). Here is the question: Where does R Core Team want packagers to fiddle around with R library paths? Currently, the RPM Spec file used for EPEL's R (For Fedora/Redhat/Centos,etc) adds a line in R_HOME/etc/Renviron like this:

Hi, I have a simple R script for printing arguments cat > printargs.R << EOF args = commandArgs() print(args) q() EOF To run this script, first I set PATH to ~/src/R-2.6.2 and execute > R --no-save < printargs.R I want to run this script with different R versions by defining an .Renviron file in the same directory as printargs.R cat >

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

[RFC = Request for Comments] { Yes, the documentation for .Renviron is really not there (but the FAQ...); the rest is in ?Startup } In R's Startup (on Unix only??) {unless --no-environ is specified} ~/.Renviron (if there) is read as an 'sh' script before R is called, then R looks ((for the site-wide Rprofile and then)) for .Rprofile in the current directory and then for

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),

Dear List, Further to my earlier email, I note that, for me at least, R CMD check is *not* reading R_LIBS from ~/.R/check.Renviron on R 2.15.2 patched (r61228) and R Under Development (r61660). The only way I can get R CMD check to look for packages in a user-supplied library is by explicitly exporting R_LIBS set to the relevant directory. R CMD build *does* read R_LIBS from ~/.R/build.Renviron
