Re: [R] R_USER - in which file should I include it?
You might look at ?.libPaths (note the dot) and play around with adding a .libPaths command to your Rprofile.site and again you may need Administrator rights when editing it. If that does not help then you can try clarifying the problem. In particular what the same refers to and what is happening now and what you want to happen. On Tue, Sep 9, 2008 at 9:14 AM, Eduardo M.
