I have tried options("show.error.messages"=TRUE), but no change. > options(show.error.messages) > options("show.error.messages") $show.error.messages [1] TRUE Here is the session info: > sessionInfo() R version 2.13.1 (2011-07-08) Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) locale: [1] LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=C [3] LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8 [5] LC_MONETARY=C LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 [7] LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NAME=C [9] LC_ADDRESS=C LC_TELEPHONE=C [11] LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=C attached base packages: [1] splines graphics stats utils grDevices tcltk base other attached packages: [1] Rcmdr_1.6-2 car_2.0-7 survival_2.36-9 nnet_7.3-1 [5] MASS_7.3-13 > Hajja Hi r-help-boun...@r-project.org napsal dne 05.08.2011 15:21:34: > khadeeja ismail <haj...@yahoo.com> > Odeslal: r-help-boun...@r-project.org > > > > My version of R is not silent: > > > setwd("/notHere") > Error in base::setwd(dir) : cannot change working directory > > library(is notHere) > Error in library(notHere) : there is no package called 'notHere' > > > That is the exact problem. > If I type the above commands, R says nothing and just displays the prompt. > > setwd("/notHere") > > > > library(is notHere) > > R version, OS? You can try it with -vanilla switch when starting R session? This shall start plain R with only necessary packages and without any data.
