Hello, my first attempt at installing version 2.9.0 failed because I got an error "Error in library(pspline) : there is no package called 'pspline'"
Later I realised that this comes from HOME/.RProfil, and removing that files "solves" that problem. However, I'm actually glad that this error happened, since it shows a deeper problem (which is actually not solved yet): My context is that I re-distribute R as a part of an open-source library I develop, and this library (actually I call it a "research environment") installs many things (like R and Maxima, gcc, git, ...), and this all purely locally --- it shouldn't interfere with anything the user has installed. So my question is how can I tell R as installation time that it should not look at any configuration files or other files whatsoever (so it should for example ignore HOME/.RProfil)? The installation instructions mention the variable "rhome", but I don't understand what type of "home" is meant here. What I could need here would be a redefinition of the user home-directory (to a local directory in my installation), but I guess that is not meant with rhome. Hope somebody can help here.
