I'm not sure that this is really a bug, if not I do not understand why should it
be in this way.
Most of the scripts used to build and install new packages calls the R program
with the
--slave --vanilla command line options. In the INSTALL script however we can
find the following lines
if($opt_library){
# remove quotes around the library path
$opt_library =~ s/^['"]//; $opt_library =~ s/['"]$//; #'"
chdir($opt_library) ||
die "Error: cannot change to library directory \$opt_library'\n";
$library = cwd();
$library = Win32::GetShortPathName($library) if $library =~ / /;
my $R_LIBS = $ENV{'R_LIBS'};
$ENV{'R_LIBS'} = join(";", $library, $R_LIBS);
chdir($startdir);
} else {
my @out = R_runR("cat('\n~~~', .libPaths()[1], '\n', sep = '')",
"--slave");
foreach $f (@out) {
if($f =~ /^~~~/) {
$library = $f;
$library =~ s/^~~~//;
}
}
$library = Win32::GetShortPathName($library) if $library =~ / /;
print "installing to '$library'\n";
}
I think that in the R_runR function there should be also a --vanilla option,
otherwise the process might be slow depending on the content of .Rprofile
file.
The linenumber of the critical point is 132.
Sincerely yours
