Rprofile.site under Windows 7?
 
|
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 "R_HOME/etc/x64", without, e.g., max.print being changed to 222 as requested. Any other suggestions? Thanks, Spencer Graves ################################################ I have so far failed to get Rprofile.site to be processed in R 2.15.0 under Windows 7 as I remember having done it in previous version of R. For example, I've included "options(max.print=222)" in "R_HOME/etc/Rprofile.site" (with and without the environmental variable R_HOME set to the install directory of R 2.15.0 in advanced system settings): When I start R, I still get the default: options('max.print') $max.print [1] 99999 Suggestions?

How are you using R? Any special front ends that might be causing
this? Can you try it in unsuffered consequences?

I can see three possibilities: 1. You have more than one Rprofile.site, and it's not reading the one you think it's reading. The search order is: - the file mentioned in the R_PROFILE environment variable if there is one - RHOME/etc/<arch>/Rprofile.site - RHOME/etc/Rprofile.site It takes the first of those and ignores later ones. <arch> is either i386 or x64, depending on your architecture. 2. You don't have permission to read the file. Does readLines() read it from within a session? This code is somewhat like what R does on startup: env <- Sys.getenv("R_PROFILE") if (nchar(env)) readLines(env) else { filename <- file.path(R.home(), "etc", sub("[/]", "", Sys.getenv("R_ARCH")), "Rprofile.site") if (file.exists(filename)) readLines(filename) else { filename <- file.path(R.home(), "etc", "Rprofile.site") if (file.exists(filename)) readLines(filename) } } Does it work for you? 3. There's a bug somewhere.... Duncan Murdoch > > > Thanks for the question.

Thanks very much. It helped me isolate and solve the problem: I edited "Rprofile.site" in Emacs. When I saved the edited version into the default, write protected location, Windows 7 apparently saved two copies: the original and a hidden copy with my edits. When I then reopen the file in Emacs, I see my edits. However, when I open it with WordPad or try to read it as you just described, my edits do not appear. Knowing this, I saved a copy to a non-protected location, edited it there, then copied the edited version back into the protected directories. Now it works. (I had previously avoided installing R in the default location since encountering problems with Vista.) This is almost enough to drive a person to join the "I hate MicroSoft" fan club. Spencer > > 3.

The file was saved, because when I reopened it in Emacs, the changes were there. Windows 7 created a phantom copy, which it delivered to Emacs when I clicked and dragged it to the Emacs icon on the task bar. To fix the problem, I copied the file to a non-protected place, opened it and the other copy in Emacs, copied the changes from the phantom copy into the non-protected copy, then copied the non-protected, edited version into the protected, default R installation directory. I had not encountered this problem earlier, because I usually install R in an unprotected location. I got sloppy with R 1.15.0 and accepted the default installation directory.

Do you actually have multiple users on your PC accessing R? If not, you could avoid using the Rprofile.site file entirely and just put a .Rprofile file having the same contents using the %userprofile% folder for the user who uses R. That would avoid the problem of writing into system space. Alternately save Rprofile.site as Adminstrator. -- Statistics & Software Consulting GKX Group, GKX Associates Inc. tel: 1-877-GKX-GROUP email: ggrothendieck at gmail.com ______________________________________________ [hidden email] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. |
