Thanks for your response. However, I need more guidance. 1) I searched the archives of this list back to June 1. I found no discussion on this subject as I examined all the subject titles for the string [Ww]in. 2) I tried (what I understand) to be you suggestion. I created etc/Renviron.site: R_LIBS_SITE="C:\Program Files\R\R-2.7.2\library:C:\Program Files\R\R-2.7.2\Packages" 3) As a

Dear developers, I am writing a package that depends on some other packages. The dependencies are stated in the `description' file under "Depends". They are installed in my private library, which is pointed to by setting R_LIBS in .Renviron, and are available if R is started normally. However, when I try to `R CMD check' my package, R complains about the dependencies being not

The help file of the R bitmap function says that I have to set the environment variable R_GSCMD to the path of my Ghostscript installation. How do I set this variable (either by commandline or in R.app for Mac)? Sorry if this sounds like a very basic question, but I could not find the answer anywhere else. Many thanks Andreas -- -------------------------- Andreas Zankl, MD Division of

[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

I am having difficulty coming to grips with Appendix B.2 of the otherwise very useful "An Introduction to R" and the related help file for Startup. I am running RGui 1.6.0 on a Windows 2000 machine from the default installation. How the concepts discussed in B.2 and the Startup help file relate to what I see on my machine is something of a mystery. I quote from the Startup file:

Trying to install RMySQL on 64-bit Windows 7. Using R-2.14.2 with Rtools214 and MySQL Server 5.5. Read through several step-by-steps of RMySQL source installation.

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

Dear list subscriber, I am quite puzzled by the behaviour of processing Sweave files within an R session, i.e. Sweave("foo.Rnw") versus R CMD Sweave foo.Rnw In the former the environmental variable 'SWEAVE_STYLEPATH_DEFAULT = TRUE' is obeyed (this is set in etc/Renviron.site as well as under the users home directory in .Renviron). That is the hard-coded path to Sweave.sty is

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 =

Regarding user's home and working directories, is Rprofile just an old name of Renviron? or (can) should we have both files with different type of definitions? (talking about R.1.4.0 in linux).

(On Unix/Linux) Is it possible to set the --no-save command line option as an option in the .Rprofile file. I have looked in the sources and do not see any obvious (user initiated) ways of changing the command line defaults, but I am hoping I have missed something. I *know* I can write my own shell script wrapper that calls R with whatever arguments I want (and I do that). However there

Greetings, I have a question pertaining to the concept of "environment variables" that is mentioned in the R documentation for "Startup" and also in the discussion of the Windows configuration of R in the recent book "An Introduction to R" authored by Venables, Smith, and the R Development Core Team (referred to as VS in this message). The Startup documentation and

Hi. I'm trying to use R that someone installed in his own home directory (which is located on a common filesystem).

Hello experienced R-ers, I'm converting from S-Plus Win 98SE to SuSE 8.1, R 1.62 and have run into som problems. 1) When I use help.start() netscape comes up OK and all links are accessible except "Search Engine & Keywords" : search doesn't work and the keywords from base doesn't respond either. ?command within R gets netscape running and works OK. 2) I haven't

Dear R-help, I am trying to use a package (not from CRAN) which includes two shared library (.so) files. The maintainer suggests inserting two lines in /usr/bin/R, LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:path-to-package/lib export LD_LIBRARY_PATH This works, but I felt more comfortable putting the first line in .Renviron or $R_HOME/etc/Renviron.site. However this doesn't seem to work, and I

Dear all, When installing the usual packages that I use, after installing R 3.0.1, I noticed that the installation of some packages that query R about its configuration did not succeed. The problem is exemplified by: berwin at bossiaea:~$ R-3.0.1 CMD config CC /opt/R/R-3.0.1/lib/R/bin/config: 222: .: Can't open /opt/R/R-3.0.1/lib/R/etc/Renviron Prior to R 3.0.1 such commands worked fine:
