Hm. Maybe you have code in RHOME/etc/* or in HOME to set some of these? The (very detailed) description of what happens when is in help(Startup) which is a great resource but as dense as they get. My example came from my Ubuntu 20.04 box where I set nothing apart from not using a ~/R/ path. Also try "R -q -e 'print(.libPaths())'" with these switches to narrow it down: --no-environ Don't read the site and user environment files --no-site-file Don't read the site-wide Rprofile --no-init-file Don't read the user R profile | /tmp and /var exist of course. Right, I didn't stress that but the choice made it clear. I still think you should be able to tune this with just base R.
