I was tripped up by this same issue, and was not easily able to figure out from the autoconf documentation how AC_INIT had changed over time. The one-argument AC_INIT, for the version of autoconf I was using (2.57), expects its argument to be a path to a file that is relatively unique to the package. However, this isn't actually related to the problem at hand: > > R CMD INSTALL > > --configure-args='--with-sbmlode-lib=/data/opt/sbmlodesolve/include \ > > --with-sbmlode-include=/data/opt/sbmlodesolve/lib' \ > > SBMLodeSolveR This is a shell programming error. Remove the '\' inside your quoted --configure-args argument. The backslash causes the newline to be escaped in the string passed to the configure script, which confuses the argument parser. You don't need the backslash because a quoted string is automatically continued until the closing quote is seen. -- Dave ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
