Did you actually mean that, Dirk? I would expect that R_HOME would be set by "myR CMD whatever" before it got to the configure script, so that the default R would only be used as a last resort. And R rather actively defends itself against R_HOME being set in its environment. E.g. $ R_HOME=/tmp R CMD env | grep R_HOME WARNING: ignoring environment value of R_HOME R_HOME=/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources (I'm not sure that it is actually supposed to work, but apparently R CMD foo executes 'foo' in the same environment as R CMD check et al.) -pd -- Peter Dalgaard, Professor, Center for Statistics, Copenhagen Business School Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark Phone: (+45)38153501 Email: pd....@cbs.dk Priv: pda...@gmail.com ______________________________________________ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel
