prevent `R CMD INSTALL' from reading `.Rprofile'

I tripped over the following problem: due to (my?) unresolved problems with cairo graphics under MacOS (graphic window blocks unrecoverably) I modified my `.Rprofile' to issue `X11(type = "Xlib")` on each R startup (as a workaround to automatic opening of a `cairo' device when issuing a plotting command).
That is not a good work-around (you are always forcing a device to open). You should consider using grDevices::X11.options(type="Xlib") instead. Cheers, Simon
I now noted that `R CMD INSTALL' obviously processes .Rprofile since the graphics window pops up every time I install a package. I want to avoid this, but options, notably --no-site-file --no-init-file are ignored when using `R CMD' (yes: as stated in the help). question: could this behaviour be changed, at least concerning the above mentioned options? or is there another way to avoid processing/sourcing of .Rprofile? regards, joerg ps: R 2.7.0, Mac OS 10.4.11.
