Hi all,
I downloaded R-devel as explicited in
https://developer.r-project.org/SVNtips.html
Then, I tried to install it through instructions in
https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-devel/R-admin.html#Installation
(taking into account also
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2016-May/072777.html)
So:
export REPOS=https://svn.r-project.org/R
export RTOP=~ #adjust as necessary
cd $RTOP
svn co $REPOS/trunk r-devel/R
cd r-devel/R
tools/rsync-recommended
mkdir ../build-R
cd ../build-R
../R/configure --prefix=/where/you/want/R/to/go
make
make check
make install
make install-tests
cd tests
## followed by one of
../bin/R CMD make check
../bin/R CMD make check-devel
And here I get the following error
checking package 'base'
Error in file(filename, "r", encoding = encoding) :
cannot open the connection
Calls: source -> file
In addition: Warning message:
In file(filename, "r", encoding = encoding) :
cannot open file '.../etc/Rprofile.site': No such file or directory
Execution halted
where the dots ... specify the path to the build-R folder where R-devel was
built. And I check the etc folder and indeed there is no the Rprofile.site

I note that make install installed R in the path I specified in ../R/configure
--prefix=/where/you/want/R/to/go
however
1. make install-tests installed the tests folder in build-R .
2. In the installed R in /where/you/want/R/to/go, there is no even etc
folder, there are only the folders bin, lib and share.
Am I skipping some step? I am on Debain 12.
Thank you!
Iago
