Add instructions to remove reference to bspm
Closed this issue · 3 comments
I have inadvertently added bspm to some (unknown to me) startup script. At every restart of R (4.3.1) within RStudio (23.09.1 494) under Ubuntu 22.04.3, I get the following error:
Error in loadNamespace(x) : there is no package called ‘bspm’
The simplest solution is just to get rid of the call to bspm at startup. I don't compile packages. This minor issue seems to cause me other problems. What file(s) should I look to edit?
I'd happily install the latest bspm, but when I try, I get the following:
install.packages("bspm")
Installing package into ‘/home/rhadow/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.3’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
trying URL 'https://cloud.r-project.org/src/contrib/bspm_0.5.5.tar.gz'

You may have been running a setup script (likely for r2u, but without telling us that) which by design and documentation modified /etc/R/Rprofile.site. If you want to undo that, edit the file.
The R startup process is extensively documented, see help(Startup) in your R session.
Yes, note also that bspm cannot be the culprit here because 1) installing bspm per se does not modify your startup at all, and 2) you don't even have bspm installed, as the error you get states.
@eddelbuettel already pointed you in the right direction, so closing here.
Thank you both. Robert
