[R] (no subject)

[Steve Lianoglou]

Out of curiosity, do you have a problem calling `library(ggplot2)`
from the R prompt (after R is finished "spinning up")?

I vaguely recall (~ 2 years ago) that I was trying to load some
packages in my ~/.Rprofile since I thought I always wanted them in R
anyway and had problems ... I've given up trying to do that, though
:-)

So -- doesn't answer your question, but if you have number of
libraries you want to load up, but it's a pain to call individual
`library()` calls, maybe you can define a .setup() function in your
~/.Rprofile that does all these library calls for you when you come to
a point in your (interactive) work that you think you need them.
