Trouble building package using R in development
To what end is the --vanilla here? Writing R Extensions says that R CMD check (and R CMD build) are invoked via R --vanilla so that would seem redundant, although my experience from several hours working this through today suggests there is a difference between R --vanilla CMD check and R CMD check.
Maybe that's new? We've certainly had problems with R CMD reading user startup files, which is why we starting using --vanilla. Hadley
