How are you using R? Any special front ends that might be causing

I'm running R 1.15.0; sessionInfo() appears below. I get this
from Rgui i386 and x64 plus when calling Rterm x64 via GNU Emacs 23.3.1
using ESS.
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?
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.

3. There's a bug somewhere....

Thanks for the question. Spencer

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?
Thanks,
Spencer
