[R] Not loading libraries

[Fredrik Karlsson]

Dear list,

I'm sorry about not providing all the necessary details. The R call is: 

"library(tools); Sweave(\"$*.Rnw\")" | R --no-save -q

Using the --vanilla switch, I am able to keep the libraries  from
loading, but since I need some of the datasets in the .RData file, my
call to Sweave fails.
I have not been able to find loading of libraries in an ,Rprofile, and
my options contains this:

> options("defaultPackages")
$defaultPackages
[1] "datasets"  "utils"     "grDevices" "graphics"  "stats"     "methods"  

Prof. Ripley is right when assuming that the libraries are loaded
because of me trying out the Rcmdr GUI and then doing a save.image().
What I did not know was that I managed to  save the loading of
libraries at the same time. This is what I would like to undo.

/Fredrik
