Paul, Just prefix the command as you would with, say, /usr/bin/time. An example is here:
https://github.com/RcppCore/rcpp-logs/blob/master/scripts/runRcppDepends.r#L140L-L142 from the script I use to test all Rcpp dependencies -- now over 900 -- unattended. Some packages also need OpenGL which the default does not give you. But the r-cran.mk script building several hundred r-cran-* package for the Debian and Ubuntu distros -- as well as several _thousand_ r-cran-* packages via Michael Rutter's repos for Ubuntu, and included in every installation, does this: ## xvfb-run with GL extension and default resolution xvfbSrvArgs = -screen 0 1024x768x24 -ac +extension GLX +render -noreset [...] if test -f /usr/bin/xvfb-run; then \ $(makeFlagsCall) xvfb-run -a -n 20 \ -s "${xvfbSrvArgs}" \ R CMD INSTALL -l $(debRlib) --clean \ $(extraInstallFlags) . \ $(builttimeStamp) \ ; \ I guess you can piece the rest together. Now, if you just used Ubuntu LTS instead of insisting on CentOS you wouldn't even have to compile them locally. Might be worth a consideration or test deployment.
