There is a recurring issue with installing from source into paths
that contain single quotes/apostrophes. "Why would anyone do that??" is
certainly a legitimate response to such a problem, but I would also say
this constitutes a legitimate bug. Would replacing both single-quotes
below with \\' solve the problem?
I'm happy to post this (with a patch if my fix seems appropriate) on
r-bugzilla.
cheers
