I've become a bit rusty using R CMD INSTALL from the shell prompt since the install.packages normally works so well.
One of the arguments to R CMD INSTALL is --configure-args=ARGS >From looking at the rsprng package's configure file, it would seem that I need to be able to get this line to work: SPRNG_INCLUDE="-I${SPRNG_ROOT}/include" My sprng.h is in /usr/local/sprng2.0/include/, so I think I need to know how I specify what SPRNG_ROOT is with --configure-args. I couldn't work out where braces, quotes and $ characters are used in this context. Or do I have to specify SPRNG_ROOT as an environment variable?
