Orin Is this for a package (in which case you solve it by using Depends) or is it in general for your usage? If the later, you can put code into ~/.Rprofile which is essentially an R script that gets run every time you start R. The code in the file would be something like library(PKGNAME, lib.loc = "DIR") Kasper ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
