Hi all, Am I using the correct syntax to set a custom R_LIBS when running R CMD INSTALL from the command line? I get: R_LIBS=/Users/hadley/R-dev R CMD INSTALL aL3xa-rapport-08e68ca/ # Desktop : R_LIBS=/Users/hadley/R-dev R CMD INSTALL aL3xa-rapport-08e68ca/ # * installing to library ‘/Users/hadley/R’ # ERROR: dependency ‘ascii’ is not available for package ‘rapport’
I wonder it works that far. It won't for me on Windows nor Linux, because system2 passes the whole thing shQuoted to the shell. Hence it is highly shell dependent what happens with the ill formed command.
Whay not specify --library= in R CMD INSTALL if you are calling it programatically from R anyway?
