Well I was using the env argument to system2, which claims to be cross-platform (at least for R and make). This command: R_LIBS=/Users/hadley/R-dev R CMD INSTALL aL3xa-rapport-08e68ca/ is ok, isn't it? > Whay not specify --library= in R CMD INSTALL if you are calling it > programatically from R anyway? My understanding (from reading R CMD INSTALL --help) was that --library was for specifying the destination library. Here I want to specify the full libpath - i.e. some of the packages that this package depends on may be in library 1, others may be in library 2. Have I misunderstood the documentation?
