R_LIBS_USER
${R_LIBS_USER-~/R/i386-pc-solaris2.11-library/2.10}
I see the same thing with R-devel on OS X. I can set R_LIBS_USER from
within R using Sys.setenv to a value longer than 1024 and retrieve it
again. But if I have such a value in my shell, it gets overwritten.
Strange and buggy IMHO ...

I'm not yet sure what is going on.

[Rd] R_LIBS_USER bugs
Hi,
Having currently a big problem with R 2.10.1 vanilla (Solaris):
As soon as the R_LIBS_USER env var gets bigger than 1023 chars R
completely ignores it and uses the default:
Sys.getenv('R_LIBS_USER');
R_LIBS_USER
${R_LIBS_USER-~/R/i386-pc-solaris2.11-library/2.10}
The strange thing is, if I set another envar to the same value, there
seems to be no problem at all. E.g.:

Any hints, what magic is going on here?
