Warning when running R - can't install packages either

Hi,

I?m maintainer of the R package in Alpine Linux.

I read on multiple places that some packages needs R_HOME variable set to the location where is R installed, so I?ve added it to the system-wide profile. Is this correct, or a misinformation?

What system dependencies does R need to compile modules from CRAN? On Alpine the following dependencies are needed to build R: bzip2-dev curl-dev gfortran lapack-dev pcre-dev perl readline-dev xz-dev zlib-dev. Are all of these dependencies needed for compiling modules?
