this issue as a courtesy, I just did a diff -u between my version of the R
script (which doesn't break when SAGE_LOCAL is undefined) and the version
that is in my sage installation (which does).
Okay, that explains it. I didn't have a copy of the R script on hand.

.profile and leave you all to do what you want, yes?
Is there a reason why `sage -R` isn't as good of an option? But yes, for
now that would be a workaround for you. But you are right that we should
fix this; no reason for the R to be unusable outside of Sage.
cc:ing the "package maintainers" as well. R is at 2.12, nearly 2.13, in
the meantime, by the way. Some changes might affect build process - now
needs 'popen' and a C99 compiler - if we upgrade. Probably those are
standard, but I don't know if they are or not.
