That sounds crazy so I took a look. BioConductor just had a 3.3 release (matching the R release cycle) and they seemingly simplified it a lot. Compare these two: https://github.com/Bioconductor-mirror/rtracklayer/blob/release-3.2/configure.ac https://github.com/Bioconductor-mirror/rtracklayer/blob/release-3.3/configure.ac I did not look too closely at the older one but the newer does check for OpenSSL present or not __and then uses this in src/Makevars.in__ so if it were me I consider switching to this. Or rather, I take the 'self-directory' test out in 3.2. Dirk -- http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | [email protected]
