Yes, works perfectly.

This works fine on my MacBook but on my iMac I have the documents on a separate 
hard drive. Within R CMD config it uses the location of the home  folder which 
because of my choice of name of hard drive has a space in it, and that causes 
problems with the batch file. In the following the volume should be Ken Main.

Kens-iMac:~ kjbeath1$ R CMD config CXX
make: /Volumes/Ken: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/Volumes/Ken'.  Stop.

For those who are wondering why I don’t just change the name, this produces 
problems with other software.

Any ideas on a solution?


Edit the script config.

We have nothing to reproduce here (what is your home directory?), but I 
am guessing that in


elif test -f "${HOME}/.R/Makevars-${R_PLATFORM}"; then
  makefiles="${makefiles} -f ${HOME}/.R/Makevars-${R_PLATFORM}"
elif test -f "${HOME}/.R/Makevars"; then
  makefiles="${makefiles} -f ${HOME}/.R/Makevars"

you need \"${HOME}\" twice.

Or set R_MAKEVARS_USER to a path without spaces.

[R-SIG-Mac] Problems with R CMD config

[Ken Beath]

I’m trying to use STAN which uses R CMD config to check the availability of the 
compilers.

This works fine on my MacBook but on my iMac I have the documents on a separate 
hard drive. Within R CMD config it uses the location of the home  folder which 
because of my choice of name of hard drive has a space in it, and that causes 
problems with the batch file. In the following the volume should be Ken Main.

Kens-iMac:~ kjbeath1$ R CMD config CXX
make: /Volumes/Ken: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/Volumes/Ken'.  Stop.

For those who are wondering why I don’t just change the name, this produces 
problems with other software.

Any ideas on a solution?
