I've decided to install in R in a directory other than /usr/local, but I'm having difficulty in setting the correct paths, i.e. PATH or path. I've set my R_HOME, and sure enough there's a bin and lib directory there but R just won't execute (something like GUI 'X11' is not supported. However when R is installed in /usr/local then everything is OK...Any help or comments appreciated...
Try: sh -x `which R` That will display the shell commands as they are executed by the script. This may give you a clue as to what is happening. In particular, it tells you where it is looking for the file $R_HOME/bin/R.X11 (which is what it is complaining about).
