Hi Rolf & All,
I haven't built R in a while, but my general expectation of an
autotools based build & install would be that the default prefix
is /usr/local, rather than /usr. So I'd expect the shared libs
in /usr/local/lib, /usr/local/lib64 etc.
I guess I should have said --- I did
sudo make prefix=/usr install
which puts stuff into /usr rather than into /usr/local.
I forget exactly why I chose (in the dim distant past) to do this ...
I have a vague recollection that my search path was more "comfortable"
that way.
I also have a recollection that I once installed Rstudio for some
MOOC, and ended up putting a symlink in somewhere like /usr/lib* ,
because Rstudio was only available as a binary with the location
of the shared lib hard-baked into it.
So it looks like a symlink might be the answer for me.
I would still like to know why /usr/lib/R/lib/libR.so was not refreshed
on the most recent build, but.
Depending on your <various flags> this may be irrelevant, apologies
in that case.
Not to worry. Thanks for taking an interest.
cheers,
Rolf
