Not the same problem. To detect curl, it is enough to find an executable named "curl" in the path. As far as I know, R uses a library, and this is known to be not so easy to find. [ I'm currently looking at autotools tutorials to understand how to check for this kind of things, and start to wonder in which fire I've jumped from our familiar frying pan... ] The same is true for pcre. Bonus question : how can the R package depend of such a package that would install nothing ? Alternative : in the spkg-install script, test somehow for the existence of the sought binary/library, and do nothing if found. Would such a trick still mark the package as installed ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
