This is a follow-up to a question I asked a few years back. We have a pair of computers that share a common home directory (and therefor a common .Renviron) with identical hardware, but very different sets of libraries such that using a "shared" R_LIBS between two computers does not work. They both use this as the default library for user installations:
'~/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.13' I would like to mod the .Renviron in such a way so '~/R/hostname-1/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.13' '~/R/hostname-2/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.13' How can I modify my R_LIBS_USER in the .Renviron to match this? The hostname would need to be "dynamically" set based on which computer I log into, but I tried something like this: R_LIBS_USER="~/lib/R/library/"$HOSTNAME"_%p_%a_%o_R%V" and R did not resolve the $HOSTNAME environment variable even though I can (from bash) echo $HOSTNAME and it return the correct name. Thoughts? Thanks! --j -- Jonathan A.
