[R] Very silent R

[Sarah Goslee]

Well, that's enough to establish that it's a problem with your system,
not with R.

What happens if you do:
options(show.error.messages=TRUE)

What is your
sessionInfo()
?

We need more information to be able to have any chance of helping.

I did fix the problem once using 'options' (show.error.messages, I think), but id doesn't seem to be working any more, and R doesn't tell me if I have an error in my command.
