Dear list,
I’m using R embedded in another program (coded in tcl/tk) under Windows
Vista. In this context I don’t launch Rgui.exe but rather Rtem.exe.
Now I have a problem finding libraries not specifically installed as
administrator (and which are not in the path ‘program files’ but in
Contacts\Documents of the current user). To be precise, the user
launching my tcl/tk program can’t find the libraries he previously
installed locally (as Vista does by default when not launched
specifically with administrator rights).
However, when (manually) launching Rterm.exe directly (or R.exe) the
command .libPaths() returns correctly 2 locations (the personal local
library and the ‘common’ one in ‘program files’) as it does with RGui.exe .
Does anyone have an idea how or why I can’t see the location of the
additional libraries ?
Could it be a problem with the attributes of : Rterm.exe --vanilla -q <
myRcode.r
(Note that I had no difficulties with these attributes calling R under
Win XP or Linux, but never faced the problem of multiple locations for
libraries.)
please find below the code form *(a)* launching : Rterm.exe –vanilla –q
< myRcode.r (where ‘local’ libs are *NOT found*) :**
> .libPaths()

As you can see only a single path is found, which is the default
collection of libraries in the path of the R installation itself.
Does anyone have an idea how I could identify the libPath for a given
user and by which argument added to R.exe I could allow accessing these
libraries, too ?
Thanks’ in advance,
Wolfgang Raffelsberger
