similar to: options(error=recover) in .Rprofile

Hi Martyn, Thanks for your insight, that seems pretty direct. Unfortunately, I did not compile this version of R (it's on a large supercomputer system and this version of R was installed by the admins). Using "R CMD config", I see the following relevant settings: DYLIB_LD = icc -std=gnu99 DYLIB_LDFLAGS = -shared -openmp LDFLAGS = -L/opt/compilers/intel/cce/9.1.039/lib

Dear all, I am having exactly the same problem as Andy on an Intel Mac (see below / https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mac/2009-May/006208.html) with the degree symbol. I am using R version 2.11.1 (2010-05-31) on Xubuntu 10.04 with Windows fonts copied from /WINDOWS/Fonts and included via 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig' and 'sudo fc-cache'. Any help would be highly

Hi, I'm encountering trouble compiling caTools_1.17.1.tar.gz and e1071_1.6-4.tar.gz on a Linux system using the Intel compiler suite. 14 other packages I generally use installed without any trouble. I notice both of these trouble packages have a C++ component, so I wonder if that might be the issue. Below, there's information on my platform, compiler, and some diagnostic output showing

For years I have been using options(error = recover) either in .Rprofile or from within R for debugging purposes. The functionality of this appears to have changed and I can't recover it (no pun intended) using the ?options help page. How can I get the old functionality back, particularly from within .Rprofile? A specific line entry would be appreciated. An example, the help page, and

Hi, I'm attempting to get openssh-3.4p1 up and running on our DEC/Compaq Alpa workstations. They are running Tru64 Unix 5.1A. I compile the package myself. Openssh-3.1 worked perfectly, with the default sshd_config file. Openssh-3.4p1 works, if I set UsePrivilegeSeparation to "no" in the sshd_config file. NOTE: I have a secondary issue with the ListenAddress default setting

I'd like to be able to set options(error=recover) in my Rprofile.site file. When I do this I get the message "Error in options(error = recover) : object "recover" not found I assume this is because the utils package (where recover and dump.frames are defined) has not been loaded at the time I make this call. I suppose I could explicitly do library("utils") before

Hi, After updating to R 2.7, my .Rprofile executes twice on startup. I confirmed this by putting in the following line: print("starting .Rprofile...") When I start R, I see: [1] "starting .Rprofile..." [1] "starting .Rprofile..." This seems like the obverse of the following FAQ:

I would appreciate some advice on what the preferred contents of RProfile.site vs. .Rprofile should be. A .First() function can reside in either one, but is it preferred to place it in .Rprofile? I currently use .First() in .Rprofile files placed in separate directories used for different RStudio projects. Thank you [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I'd like to follow up on this one. It may be that I have misunderstood something, but on both R devel (2012-02-22 r58452) and R 2.14.1 patched (2012-02-18 r58394) I can't seem to avoid loading ~/.Rprofile when I run 'R CMD <cmd>', e.g. R CMD build. For me, the loading of ~/.Rprofile by 'R CMD' started a few weeks ago, and I haven't seen it before. More details

Hi everyone. I have recently installed R 2.14.1 on my 64-bit Windows 7 laptop. I am attempting to include some favourite functions in the Rprofile.site file to run at R start-up as I did with my previous 32-bit XP machine. I have edited the Rprofile.site file in "C:\Program Files\R\R-2.14.1\etc\" but the added code doesn't seem to be executed when I run R, whether through Tinn-R

Hello, I'm having some difficulty understanding the documentation relative to the startup files with R-Aqua 2.0.1 for Mac OS X. Specifically, I'm wondering: where does R search for the startup files (my home directory at Users:<me>:?); how should they be named (.RProfile will be treated by Mac OS X as a system file and be hidden, so I'm wondering if it should just be

Hi! I do not have an Rprofile file in $R_HOME/etc, but I do have one in $R_HOME/library/base/R. I thought I could include a .First() function in a new $R_HOME/etc/Rprofile file for attaching a couple files which have custom "always needed" functions. But would the new $R_HOME/etc/Rprofile create a conflict with $R_HOME/library/base/R/Rprofile (in particular because the later also has a

Not sure whether this is a feature or bug -- but it does not appear to be documented. R1.6.1 on Windows NT 4.00.1381 Objects assigned in the Rprofile.site file (e.g. foo<-'something') are put into package:base not .GlobalEnv on startup. Objects assigned in the .Rprofile file are put into .GlobalEnv. This doesn't seem consistent to me. The objects exist in base only for the

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

I am new to R ( and windows XP ) and am in the process of setting it up I put an options (repos=http://.fhcrc.org") file in my .Rprofile file and it works but that's all I put in and i don'tknow what to put in my .First function. I understand that .Rprofile is used for more general options and .First for options specific to that working directory. would someone mind to send me an

It could be that the following may be due to something wrong that I managed to do (I cannot think what...) but I submit this report in case it is something that you want to know about (I have solved the problem by removing .Rprofile as I describe below). 1. After compiling/installing R 0.90 (an uneventful process), it worked perfectly the first time, and it read .RData written by the previous

I'm trying to source a file automatically every time I start R. I tried adding the following .First function in a file Rprofile.site in my $R_HOME/etc/ directory (verified $R_HOME by Sys.getenv()) as well as in a file .Rprofile in my $HOME directory and .Rprofile in the working directory: .First <- function(){ source(file.path(Sys.getenv("HOME"), "R",

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)

Hello: I've been using "Rprofile.site" for several years to set the repos environment variable as follows: options(repos=c(CRAN='http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu', CRANextra='http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin') ) However, R 2.15.0 is not recognizing this. Instead, I get the following: options('repos') $repos

I'm new to R, so apologies if the answer to my question is very obvious to everyone else! I use the carbon version of R (1.5.1), not the Darwin version. After a bit of a battle, I'm getting to grips with using R, and really getting to like it, but I'm still having trouble customising startup the way I'd like it. Reading ?Startup, I see that I can specify some commands to be run
