Hi,
 
 
Being a new user of R, please accept my apologies if this question is basic. 
It covers much more R itself than its use in Finance. 
 
I use R under Mac OSX, I have a problem with the initialisation file .Rprofile. 
 
>> according to the documentation, I just have to put a text file into the current directory by default (the one R starts from by default), call it ".Rprofile" and input the commands I want R to perform at startup. In this case, this is a simple "library(DBI)" that is in the file - nothing more. The package is installed and the command functions when typed in manually 
 
>> R reverts me an error message (something like "error inserted character "{\") which does not appear when I start R after deleting/moving the dile - so I know R detects it. & as mentioned, the only thing the file has written in it is "library(DBI)" >> I edited the file using texedit.app
 
 
Any feedback welcome - many thanks
 
Rgds,
Julien
