Hmm, I was about to say the same, but there seems to be unexpected references in other places. find `R RHOME` | xargs grep `R RHOME` /usr/lib64/R/bin/R:R_HOME_DIR=/usr/lib64/R /usr/lib64/R/bin/R:R_SHARE_DIR=/usr/lib64/R/share /usr/lib64/R/bin/R:R_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/lib64/R/include /usr/lib64/R/bin/R:R_DOC_DIR=/usr/lib64/R/doc (this doesn't normally happen - a SUSE RPM specialty, or due to configure flag settings?) Once you start building packages, you also have things like viggo:~/>find ~/Rlibrary | xargs grep `R RHOME` Binary file /home/bs/pd/Rlibrary/rgl/libs/rgl.so matches viggo:~/>find ~/Rlibrary | xargs grep Rlibrary Binary file /home/bs/pd/Rlibrary/rgl/Meta/hsearch.rds matches Binary file /home/bs/pd/Rlibrary/ISwR/Meta/hsearch.rds matches Binary file /home/bs/pd/Rlibrary/mvtnorm/Meta/hsearch.rds matches Binary file /home/bs/pd/Rlibrary/nlmeODE/Meta/hsearch.rds matches B..... on my laptop I had a hit on one of the Sweave support files too. Most likely these are quite harmless, but all in all I think Martyn has the safest advice: Use "make install", as root (don't forget "umask 022"). -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Øster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.
