Rprofile.site under Windows 7?

        I'm running R 1.15.0;  sessionInfo() appears below.  I get this
from Rgui i386 and x64 plus when calling Rterm x64 via GNU Emacs 23.3.1
using ESS.
I can see three possibilities:

  1.  You have more than one Rprofile.site, and it's not reading the one 
you think it's reading.   The search order is:
   - the file mentioned in the R_PROFILE environment variable if there 
is one
   - RHOME/etc/<arch>/Rprofile.site
   - RHOME/etc/Rprofile.site

It takes the first of those and ignores later ones.

<arch> is either i386 or x64, depending on your architecture.

2.  You don't have permission to read the file.  Does readLines() read 
it from within a session?  This code is somewhat like what R does on 
startup:

   env <- Sys.getenv("R_PROFILE")
   if (nchar(env))
     readLines(env)
   else {
     filename <- file.path(R.home(), "etc", sub("[/]", "", 
Sys.getenv("R_ARCH")), "Rprofile.site")
     if (file.exists(filename))
       readLines(filename)
     else {
       filename <- file.path(R.home(), "etc", "Rprofile.site")
       if (file.exists(filename))
         readLines(filename)
     }
   }

Does it work for you?

3.  There's a bug somewhere....

Hello All:

           I'm still unable to get Rprofile.site to set, e.g.,
options(max.print=222), as I did with previous versions of R.

           I just found similar questions posed by Trevor Miles and Ross
Bowden with replies by Uwe Ligges and Duncan Murdoch.

           In addition to the things I tried documented below, I also copied
Rprofile.site into "R_HOME/etc/i386" and "R_HOME/etc/x64", without, e.g.,
max.print being changed to 222 as requested.

           Any other suggestions?

           Thanks,

       I have so far failed to get Rprofile.site to be processed in R 2.15.0
under Windows 7 as I remember having done it in previous version of R.  For
example, I've included "options(max.print=222)" in
"R_HOME/etc/Rprofile.site" (with and without the environmental variable
R_HOME set to the install directory of R 2.15.0 in advanced system
settings):  When I start R, I still get the default:

options('max.print')
$max.print
[1] 99999

       Suggestions?
       Thanks,
       Spencer
