.Renviron for multiple hardwares...
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. /Henrik On Sun, Jan 25, 2009 at 11:22 AM, Jonathan Greenberg

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". Thoughts? Ideas? Thanks! --j -- Jonathan A.
