similar to: installing package help with limited permissions

Hi, Sorry for posting a question that has been asked before but I couldn't quite find the right answer in previous help topics. I am trying to set my library path to a user-specified library ("C:/Users/K/Documents/Work/RLib"). I have used .libPaths("C:/Users/K/Documents/Work/RLib") but when I check the .libPaths(), both the user-specified and default libraries appear. It

Doing help("R_LIBS") brings up a help file (the same one as help(library)), but the help file doesn't mention R_LIBS. It does have a link to .libPaths, which does document R_LIBS. The quickest fix would be for help("R_LIBS") to bring up the .libPaths help file. --please do not edit the information below-- Version: platform = i386-pc-mingw32 arch = i386 os = mingw32

Good day, I believe from the documentation that folders in R_LIBS should appear in the output of .libPaths, but they do not. The documentation contains "The library search path is initialized at startup from the environment variable R_LIBS ..." However, $ export R_LIBS=/users/stgrad/dario/tmp/ $ Rscript -e ".libPaths()" [1] "/dskh/nobackup/biostat/Bioconductor"

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, 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),

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

Good day, If the library path is changed with .libPaths, the command install.packages("/nb/dario/Biostrings_2.39.9.tar.gz", repos=NULL) fails with ** testing if installed package can be loaded Error : package ?S4Vectors? required by ?Biostrings? could not be found However, running library(S4Vectors) followed by sessionInfo() after the error shows that the package can indeed be

Hallo R experts, I got a question concerning the .libPaths(). if I do the command .libPaths() than the result is /usr/lib/R/library. This is the default folder. I now want to change this one into /home/csc/usr/lib/R/library. I thought it would work with the command .libPaths("/home/csc/usr/lib/R/library"). When I than do the command .libPaths() the result is:

Good day, If there's a library folder of the latest R packages and a particular package from it is loaded using the lib.loc option, the dependencies of that package are still attempted to be loaded from another folder of older packages specified by R_LIBS, which may cause errors about version requirements not being met. The documentation of the library function doesn't explain what the

Hello, We have recently added a 64-bit 2 x Dual-Core Athlon server running Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 to allow for processing of large data sets (>4GB) in R. To integrate this server into our Linux cluster, I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to use Rmpi/lam-mpi to parallel process some of our scripts. While I have successfully compiled R 2.4.0 and lam-mpi 7.1.2 on this server using

Hi all, I added the following line on the "Renviron.site" file: R_LIBS=C:\Program Files (x86)\R\library And when I start R and run: .libPaths() I don't see this path. On windows XP it worked for me. I am now using windoes 7 (64 bit) with R 32. Is there a reason this shouldn't work? Thanks, Tal ----------------Contact

Hello, I have downloaded and installed e1071_1.1-0.tar.gz, my first add-on package. Because I am not the sys admin I installed it to my own home dir under ~/.R/library/ I read in the faq that I should make changes to the R_lib env variable in my .bashprofile or .Renviron files to make the new personal library components available. Unfortunately neither of these exist in my home dir. Can anyone

I've just installed version 1.4.0 of R, and am experiencing a puzzling phenomenon with the library() function.

Hello, I'm having some trouble trying to set the .libPaths() on Windows 7, R-2.15.0 and R-2.15.1. The environment variables R_LIBS and R_LIBS_USER are set according to the help page for .libPaths() and the Rprofile.site file has the default setting, as shown below. R-2.14.1 recognizes the lib paths but not R-2.15. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? (I've also tried with
