Hello,

I was looking at the R (installed on RHEL6) shell script and saw
R_HOME_DIR=/usr/lib64/R. Nowhere (and I could have got it wrong) does
it read in the environment value R_HOME_DIR. I have the need to rsync
the entire folder below /usr/lib64/R to another computer into another
directory location. Without changing the R shell script, how can i
force it read in R_HOME_DIR?

Or maybe i misunderstood the bash source?

(Note, i cannot recompile on target machine)

Cheers
Saptarshi

1. I also realize Rscript will not work (i think path is hard coded in the
source)

Beginning of /usr/lib64/R/bin/R

R_HOME_DIR=/usr/lib64/R
if test "${R_HOME_DIR}" = "/usr/lib64/R"; then
   case "linux-gnu" in
   linux*)
     run_arch=`uname -m`
     case "$run_arch" in
        x86_64|mips64|ppc64|powerpc64|sparc64|s390x)
          libnn=lib64
          libnn_fallback=lib
        ;;
        *)
          libnn=lib
          libnn_fallback=lib64
        ;;
     esac
     if [ -x "/usr/${libnn}/R/bin/exec/R" ]; then
        R_HOME_DIR=/usr/lib64/R
     elif [ -x "/usr/${libnn_fallback}/R/bin/exec/R" ]; then
        R_HOME_DIR=/usr/lib64/R
     ## else -- leave alone (might be a sub-arch)
     fi
     ;;
  esac
fi
