[R-SIG-Mac] Failure of CLI with .Rprofile on Mac OS X

[Chen, Gang (NIH/NIMH) [C]]

For testing purpose, there is only one statement in my .Rprofile

.First <- function() source('~/test.R')

and test.R contains a few functions with which I could test whether .Rprofile has been loaded or not.

You left out the part where you show us what's in your .Rprofile. If there is anything in there specific to R.app (an application different from R), of course it won't work with CLI ("base") R.
