Hello, I have downloaded and installed e1071_1.1-0.tar.gz, my first add-on package. Because I am not the sys admin I installed it to my own home dir under ~/.R/library/ I read in the faq that I should make changes to the R_lib env variable in my .bashprofile or .Renviron files to make the new personal library components available. Unfortunately neither of these exist in my home dir. Can anyone make a suggestion as to my next step? If I had a sample .Renviron, I think I could modify it to my needs. Perhaps someone could forward a copy of theirs to me. Many thanks in advance. S.

Don't! help.start() regards that as its private area and tries to zap it. Use say ~/R/library

Assuming this is some sort of Unix/Linux, use cat > ~/.Renviron R_LIBS=~/R/library ^D However, depending on your shell you may need to spell out ~ or use $(HOME) instead, but you probably have bash.
