I think this should now work (one of several 'FIXME' issues addressed
in the latest commit -- there are still some to go, but 2.9.0 is not
due for 6 weeks).
It is always useful to have a real test example, though. (I used rgl
in relation to some discussion about paths on r-sig-mac.)

That version of R is 'under development' and the INSTALL file says
## FIXME: this loses quotes, so filepaths with spaces in get broken up
so it is I think the same as a known issue.
The whole package installation process has been completely reconstructed for
R-devel, and the process is not quite finished.
And this is a low priority as there are effective workarounds.

Hi,
trying
to install a package containing C code and requiring non-default configure
argument
settings the incantation (this has worked for R <= 2.8.1 on the same
architectures)
R CMD INSTALL --configure-args="--with-opt1 --with-opt2" packname
does always result in a warning
Warning: unknown option '--with-opt2'
and consequently the option is ignored. Reverting the order of options
results in the now
last option to be ignored. Alternative quoting has not provided a solution.
Using
R CMD INSTALL --configure-args=--with-opt1 --configure-args=--with-opt2
packname
does provide a workaround, though. Is this the (new to me) and only
intended way to
provide more than one configure argument?
I checked ?INSTALL and the referenced R-admin sec. 'Configuration
variables' but still am
not clear on this.
