Thanks Duncan. The only .site files I have are Reviron.site and Rprofile.site, which are both in C:\Program Files\R\R-2.14.1\etc. Copying these files to C:\Program Files\R\R-2.14.1\etc\x64 and C:\Program Files\R\R-2.14.1\etc\i386 makes no difference. Sys.getenv returns R_ENVIRON = "" and R_HOME = "C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-214~1.1". Should I set R_ENVIRON in the Windows Registry? > Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2012 22:50:21 -0400 > From: murdoch.dun...@gmail.com > To: trevor.mi...@live.ca > CC: r-help@r-project.org > Subject: Re: [R] Rprofile.site on Windows > > On 12-04-24 10:43 PM, Duncan Murdoch wrote: > > On 12-04-24 4:13 PM, Trevor Miles wrote: > >> Hi All > >> > >> I am struggling to get R to read the Rprofile.site file from the > >> R_HOME/etc folder. > >> > >> I know it isn't working because I change the prompt in the Rprofile.site > >> file.
