Debian Testing: ~/.Renviron seems to not being read (R_LIBS not set)

Hi, I have Debian Testing running on a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon (2015, 3rd gen.).
Please specify what version of R you are using and how you installed it.
I would like to have a package library independent of the installed R version.
For this purpose, in the default setup on Debian we have /usr/local/lib/R/site-library. When using the R backport from CRAN on Debian testing this is what you should get: > sessionInfo() R version 3.1.3 (2015-03-09) Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) Running under: Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) ... > .libPaths() [1] "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library" "/usr/lib/R/site-library" "/usr/lib/R/library"
Under Ubuntu, I used to have the following line in ~/.Renviron: R_LIBS=/usr/local/R/library:/usr/lib/R/site-library This worked fine and /usr/local/R/library showed up in .libPaths().
This should usually not be necessary, as you can use the default location of the local site library.
However, under Debian (with the same ~/.Renviron), my .libPaths() just shows "/usr/local/R/R-3.1.3-build/library"
It looks like you have done something fairly non-standard to your system... Cheers, Johannes
which is the version-dependent library (this used to come at 3rd position in .libPaths()). Does R on Debian not look for ~/.Renviron? I also tried R_LIBS_USER but no luck here either (although, as far as I understand Section 6.2 of "R Installation and Administration", R_LIBS or R_LIBS_USER should work (?)) Cheers, Marius PS: I found two sites which seem to be related, but it was still not quite clear to me how to approach the problem: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-debian/2005-December/000050.html https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-debian/2010-May/001146.html
