You can always get by via something like R CMD INSTALL --configure-args=XXX -l pkg.Rcheck pkg R CMD check --install=skip pkg The reason why we don't have a way of specifying arguments to install when checking is mostly to be defensive about possible quoting issues when passing arguments from the command line via Perl to the Shell. -k
