My version of R is not silent:
> setwd("/notHere")
Error in base::setwd(dir) : cannot change working directory
> library(is notHere)
Error in library(notHere) : there is no package called 'notHere'
That is the exact problem.
If I type the above commands, R says nothing and just displays the prompt.

...and it is so annoying :\
