similar to: Rprofile.site not executed?

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

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, After some reading and experimentation I found that I cannot solve this problem: 1. I am starting R and check: > system("pwd") /home/woodstock/hoffmacw/R/test > system("echo $HOME") /home/woodstock/hoffmacw > system("echo $R_PROFILE") /home/woodstock/hoffmacw/R > system("ls $R_PROFILE/.Rprofile") /home/woodstock/hoffmacw/R/.Rprofile

Dear R-devel, There seems to be a bug in the Startup section, regarding the R_PROFILE environment variable in Windows. If not a bug in the Startup itself, perhaps a bug in the documentation. According to ?Startup: Then R searches for the site-wide startup profile unless the command line option '--no-site-file' was given. The name of this file is

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]]

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'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 am trying to install custom packages upon starting R. A lot of the code that is written by us right now is available for editing to the users. To try and protect the code, I am packaging the production level code and having the users install it on their machine during start up. However, when I try to install packages in RProfile.site file, the program goes into a loop and R is constantly

Dear All I inserted a frequently used function (subroutine) right into my Rprofile.site which allows me to run it each time-works great. However, this approach is obviously suitable for a short function or a small number of functions. Instead of inserting the lines in Rprofile.site, is there a way to insert one line pointing to (fetching) the function in a local drive, similar to #include

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)

Hi, I installed "circular" package and I wanted to load it automatically when R starts up, so I added the following lines in file Rprofile.site, .First <- function() library(circular) When R starts up, it gives me the following error: ---------- Loading required package: boot Loading required package: graphics Loading required package: stats Error : .onAttach failed in

Hello All: I'm still unable to get Rprofile.site to set, e.g., options(max.print=222), as I did with previous versions of R. I just found similar questions posed by Trevor Miles and Ross Bowden with replies by Uwe Ligges and Duncan Murdoch. In addition to the things I tried documented below, I also copied Rprofile.site into "R_HOME/etc/i386" and

Hi all, i just installed R 2.12.1 and Tinn-R 2.3.7.1. My OS is Windows 7 32bit. Here is my question: Do I have to execute the rprofile.site manually every time I start a R/Tinn-R session? Because it seems that way. Here is the error code I receive after sending "selection(echo=TRUE): source(.trPaths[5], echo=TRUE, max.deparse.length=150) It doesn't do that after I configure

I am running R 2.8.1 on SUSE Linux. I would like to be able to set R_PROFILE to two different possibilities. One when R is called by R CMD BATCH and another any other time. Is this possible? Mark Lyman, Statistician Engineering Systems & Integration, ATK

?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.

Dear R-users, I am having some issues with a package I am working on (using R 2.12.1 in a Linux environment) and would like to have your opinions/advises. My package - let's call it mypackage for the purpose of this email - passes all checks of R CMD check, except for the following failure message: Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'mypackage', details: call:

Hi, Apparently R-1.7.0 (and possibly earlier versions too) do not care much about what is in $R_HOME/etc/Rprofile.site when calling 'R CMD check' or 'R CMD build'. This is annoying when having libraries (packages) in alternative locations. Cheers, Laurent

Hi everyone, I want to modify two base R functions 'parse' and 'deparse' immediately after R has started, so I added some code in the file 'Rprofile.site' under the 'etc' directory. Here is a simple example: parse=function(...){ base::parse(...) } I'll get an error when I start R as follows: Error: cannot change value of locked binding for

I am running R version 2.8.1 on Windows XP OS. When I launch R, I would like to automatically read a file containing my database connections, user ids, and passwords into my workspace. I tried including this in my Rprofile.site file: ... local({ old <- getOption("defaultPackages") options(defaultPackages = c(old, "Rcmdr","RODBC", "utils")) }) .First
