Harmen,
thanks for the additional details, it wasn't exactly clear what this is about.
Ivan's post didn't mention that the issue here is the caching, not the path
replacement which you are apparently already doing, now it makes more sense.
I still think it is dangerous as you have no way of kno
Ivan,
I suspect that the `which' case is just the tip of the iceberg - generally, R
expects all tools it detects at configure time to be callable, just to list a
few from a running session:
PAGER /usr/bin/less
R_BROWSER /usr/bin/open
R_BZIPCMD /usr/
At ORNL, we worked with VisIt (a sibling of Paraview, both funded largely by
DOE) around 2016 and made an in situ demo with R. We used packages pbdMPI (on
CRAN) and pbdDMAT (on GitHub/RbigData), which were in part built for this
purpose. Later also the package hola (on GitHub/RbigData) was built
