.Renviron for multiple hardwares...
Ah, perfect -- so would the "ideal" R_LIBS_USER setting (to more or less guarantee the libraries will work on every possible computer) be something along the lines of: ~/myRlibraries/%V%p%o%a Or is this overkill? --j

The script .Rprofile evaluates R code on startup. You could use that to test for various environment variables. Alternatively, use Unix shell scripts to set system environment variables to be used in a generic .Renviron. See help(Startup) for more details.
Well, not just 'Unix shell scripts', just R_ENVIRON_USER apppriately (on any OS).

Our lab has a lot of different unix boxes, with different hardware, and I'm assuming (perhaps wrongly) that by setting a per-user package installation directory, the packages will only work on one type of hardware. Our systems are all set up to share the same home directory (and, thus, the same .Renviron file) -- so, is there a way to set, in the .Renviron file, per-computer or per-hardware settings? The idea is to have a different package installation directory for each computer (e.g. "~/R/computer1/packages" and "~/R/computer2/packages".
Well, we anticipated that and the default personal directory is set by R_LIBS_USER, and that has a platform-specific default. See ?.libPaths. None of this is uncommon: my dept home file system is shared by x86_64 Linux, i386 Linus, x86_64 Solaris, Sparc Solaris, Mac OS X and Windows. I just let install.packages() create a personal library for me on each one I use it on.
Thoughts? Ideas? Thanks! --j -- Jonathan A.
