After reading the help files (?Startup) and using
RSiteSearch("defaultPackages"), I have been trying to add several packages
to my default startup list using the following code:
local({
old<-getOption("defaultPackages")
options(defaultPackages=c(old,"lattice","RODBC")
})
Subsequently, when I query the default list using:
getOption("defaultPackages")
the list of packages I have added appears along with the standard defaults.
However, when I restart R, none of these packages are loaded and they don't
appear in the default list when it is queried again. There's probably
something simple I am missing and I am hoping that someone will (politely)
point out where I've messed up.
I am running R 2.4.0 on a Windows 2000 PC. Sys.getenv("R_USER") returns the
location of my Rconsole in the "...My Documents" file, but my working
directory is in the "...program files/R/R-2.4.0" directory, if that helps.
Thanks for your assistance.
