Hi all. I'm compiling the devel version of R on Debian GNU/Linux, and installing it into /usr/local tree (instead of default /usr). So:
The default *is* --prefix=/usr/local (no trailing space). Are you sure you are not getting R confused with some other version, e.g. by having R_LIBS set to point to your other installation?
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ make make install Everything works fine, but when I start R I get the following error messages (traslated from italian, sorry):
If it passes `make check' then the build is fine, you are just not using it. Please do try make check before installation.
Error in dyn.load(x,as.logical(local),as.logical(now)):
impossible to load the shared library '/usr/lib/R/library/stats/libs/stats.so':
libR.so:cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
