That's mostly a red herring. On Linux it is /usr/bin/ or /usr/local/bin/ or some variant involving /top. The path that breaks is the one where R tries to include headers from libraries, not a (personal) user directory -- and even those are below /home or /Users/ or ... Not /ho me/. It is dumb what they do on Windows, and easy to avoid. Effectively end of story for me here as __R Core__ also says not to install in a path with spaces. Many of use got burned once, or twice, learned the lesson and moved on. I have no real time to spend on this. If __you__ want to make fixing this your own goal, be my guest but test it real well before you come back here with suggested patches that may break use for others.
