Hi,

I’m maintainer of the R package in Alpine Linux.

I read on multiple places that some packages needs R_HOME variable set to the 
location where is R installed, so I’ve added it to the system-wide profile. Is 
this correct, or a misinformation?

What system dependencies does R need to compile modules from CRAN? On Alpine 
the following dependencies are needed to build R: bzip2-dev curl-dev gfortran 
lapack-dev pcre-dev perl readline-dev xz-dev zlib-dev. Are all of these 
dependencies needed for compiling modules?
