The comment on line 67 suggest that this variable is only used during the build process. > but in Debian 6 > default shell for R is always SH instead of BASH. The default shell in Debian 6 is dash (it was bash before): https://wiki.debian.org/Shell > It can be checked by just > typing in R system("echo $BASH_VERSION"). The same command system("echo > $BASH_VERSION") in R for Centos 6.5 answers "4.1.2(1)-release". Also for > Debian 6 in terminal command "echo $BASH_VERSION" also answers > "4.1.2(1)-release". So it seems it is the problem of R configuration for > Debian 6. I see no problem to use bash during the build process and have dash as the default shell for the system. bash and dash happily coexist. > I have installed R from CRAN by method described in > http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/.
