Changing R_HOME
Wow! Is the response always that fast around here? Thanks to Prof. Ripley. Creating a local copy of the R script with the correct R_HOME_DIR path set along with changing the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to point to the library locations that R.bin needs does the trick. Thanks again, Bill

reasons for doing things the way he did. Is there some way to tell R to look somewhere other than the default location for its libraries on startup? Any clues or pointers would be appreciated.
Use a customized version of the script /usr/local/lib/R/bin/R with
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
set appropriately.
