R CMD check not reading R_LIBS from ~/.R/check.Renviron
Gav, This is off-list since I only wonder what you are trying to do. It seems to me that you're trying something much too elegant and complicated. One thing that I have learnt to avoid is muck up with environments: that is calling trouble. One day they will change R and you will get errors that are very difficult to track (I had that once with gnome: I did not edit the config file manually, but only used configuration GUI tools, but then gnome changed and I could not start X11 after distro upgrade -- and it was difficult to track the reason). What I do with R-devel and R release co-existence is that I keep them completely separate. I do not install (make install) R-devel, but I leave it in its working directory. I have now a symbolic link in ~/bin ($HOME/bin): cd ~/bin ln -s ~/R-devel/bin/R R3 So when I want to run R 3.0.0 I use 'R3' and when I want to use stock R of my distro (no 2.15.1) use R. These are completely different beasts, and packages are installed separately for each so that they are 3.0.0 version in R3 and 2.15 versions in R. I don't edit environments, but always use defaults. With this setup, analogue checks up smoothly with only comment coming from examples: * checking differences from ?analogue-Ex.Rout? to ?analogue-Ex.Rout.save? ... 2c2 < This is vegan 2.1-23 ---

Dear List,
Further to my earlier email, I note that, for me at least, R CMD check
is *not* reading R_LIBS from ~/.R/check.Renviron on R 2.15.2 patched
(r61228) and R Under Development (r61660). The only way I can get R CMD
check to look for packages in a user-supplied library is by explicitly
exporting R_LIBS set to the relevant directory.
R CMD build *does* read R_LIBS from ~/.R/build.Renviron for the same
versions of R on the same Fedora 16 laptop. So I am in the strange
situation of being able to build but not check a source package having
followed the instructions in Writing R Extensions.
I have tried exporting R_CHECK_ENVIRON via
export R_CHECK_ENVIRON=/home/gavin/.R/check.Renviron
and that doesn't work either.
~/.R/check.Renviron contains:
R_LIBS=/home/gavin/R/libs/
#R_LIBS=/home/gavin/R/devlibs/
Anyone suggest how/where I am going wrong?
More complete system info follows below.
TIA
Gavin
