More details, please. AFAICT there is no 'broken' Rscript per se. Eg for Rcpp, and per hints from Kurt el al over the years, we have been doing this for a few years PKG_CXXFLAGS=-I../inst/include PKG_LIBS=`$(R_HOME)/bin/Rscript -e "Rcpp:::LdFlags()"` $(LAPACK_LIBS) $(BLAS_LIBS) $(FLIBS) where a key part is the `$(R_HOME)/bin` which permits you to transparently switch between R-release, R-devel, R-beforeMove, R-afterMove, R-whatevr, ... simply by adjusting your shell's $PATH variable, or the R wrapper you for R CMD, or ... It. Just. Works. So if you borked your Rscript somewhere, just use another and quickly rebuild R for the new location. It is after all a cheap build (and cheaper still if you use tricks like ccache which I am a huge fan of, or 'make -j8', or ...)
