[Rd] R CMD INSTALL - problem with working directory

2013-11-08 Thread Simon Zehnder
Dear R-Devels, I installed on my Mac OS X 10.9 system several R-3.0.2 versions, differing by the compiler used to build R. I can load them via my environment-modules. Now, what I want to have is for each version an own working directory such that .RData and .Rhistory are not loaded from a
