Dear all,
I am trying to install R on a (Linux Debian) machine where I do not have root access. So far I succeeded in compiling from source and running R. But I would really like to be able to use "make install" and to be able to install certain packages such as foreign. Now these actions require permissions for directories that I do not have. In particular I would like R home to be ~/bin/R, the libraries to reside in ~/lib, and so on. I looked in the INSTALL script and it would seem to be possible to accomplish this by editing INSTALL.in, running ./configure and make-ing again. But the INSTALL.in file is rather daunting and I do not know which variables I need to change... Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated here.
