Dear all, Is there a way to force R CMD INSTALL to ignore ~/.Rprofile and similar? I presume it sources these startup files for a reason, but I've found that it can cause confusion or problems. In particular, my ~/.Rprofile loads a few packages which I very frequently use, but this stops me from installing new versions of their dependencies; viz.
$ R CMD INSTALL tractor.base * installing to library ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library’ * installing *source* package ‘tractor.base’ ... ** R ** data ** preparing package for lazy loading Error: package ‘tractor.base’ is required by ‘tractor.opt’ so will not be detached * removing ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/tractor.base’ * restoring previous ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/tractor.base’ I've tried R --vanilla CMD INSTALL, but that seems to have no effect. This is R 2.12.1 on Mac OS X.6.6. Any pointers appreciated. All the best, Jon ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
