[R] Why doesn't my change of Renviron.site work on windows 7 ?
Hi all, I added the following line on the Renviron.site file: R_LIBS=C:\Program Files (x86)\R\library And when I start R and run: .libPaths() I don't see this path. On windows XP it worked for me. I am now using windoes 7 (64 bit) with R 32. Is there a reason this shouldn't work?

Does Sys.getenv(R_LIBS) show the path? My guess is that it has to do with this little part from ?.libPaths Only directories which exist at the time will be included. Try entering the path you specified into R; when I do, I get an error that says Error: '\P' is an unrecognized escape in character string starting suggesting that it is your use of backslashes in the path name leading to R not recognizing the directory and .libPaths() ignoring it. I would try: R_LIBS=C:/Program Files (x86)/R/library I also find setting environment variables in Windows to certain directories makes my life much easier.

Thank you Joshua and Allan, I tried it now, and indeed it works. It remember for some reason that it didn't work for windows XP, was I wrong, or did something change ? Thanks again to the two of you.

Backslashes seem to work when they are in quotes. As a side note, I have been running the 64 bit version of R on Windows 7 for several months now and have been very happy. I have not had any issues with stability or anything else to make me believe it is subpar to the 32 bit version. Josh Thanks again to the two of you.
