Ok, let's give you an example: philip@debian:~$ wget https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/ald_1.1.tar.gz philip@debian:~$ mkdir test philip@debian:~$ mkdir test1 philip@debian:~$ cp ald_1.1.tar.gz test/ philip@debian:~$ cp ald_1.1.tar.gz test1/ philip@debian:~$ cd test philip@debian:~/test$ R CMD INSTALL --build ald_1.1.tar.gz philip@debian:~/test$ tar -zxvf ald_1.1_R_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz ald/help/paths.rds philip@debian:~/test$ cd ../test1 philip@debian:~/test1$ R CMD INSTALL --build ald_1.1.tar.gz philip@debian:~/test1$ tar -zxvf ald_1.1_R_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz ald/help/paths.rds philip@debian:~/test1$ cd .. philip@debian:~$ Rscript -e "readRDS('test/ald/help/paths.rds')" [1] "/tmp/RtmpXhF0y3/R.INSTALLd717b7b387a/ald/man/ALD.Rd" [2] "/tmp/RtmpXhF0y3/R.INSTALLd717b7b387a/ald/man/ald-package.Rd" [3] "/tmp/RtmpXhF0y3/R.INSTALLd717b7b387a/ald/man/likALD.Rd" [4] "/tmp/RtmpXhF0y3/R.INSTALLd717b7b387a/ald/man/mleALD.Rd" [5] "/tmp/RtmpXhF0y3/R.INSTALLd717b7b387a/ald/man/momentsALD.Rd" attr(,"first") [1] 46 philip@debian:~$ Rscript -e "readRDS('test1/ald/help/paths.rds')" [1] "/tmp/RtmpqjNKva/R.INSTALLe362823e45a/ald/man/ALD.Rd" [2] "/tmp/RtmpqjNKva/R.INSTALLe362823e45a/ald/man/ald-package.Rd" [3] "/tmp/RtmpqjNKva/R.INSTALLe362823e45a/ald/man/likALD.Rd" [4] "/tmp/RtmpqjNKva/R.INSTALLe362823e45a/ald/man/mleALD.Rd" [5] "/tmp/RtmpqjNKva/R.INSTALLe362823e45a/ald/man/momentsALD.Rd" attr(,"first") [1] 46 As you see, the file help/paths.rds contains absolute paths which doe not exist (after compilation) on the PC. I therefore try to find a way to replace these absolute paths by relative. My favorite output would be: philip@debian:~$ Rscript -e "readRDS('test2/ald/help/paths.rds')" [1] "./ald/man/ALD.Rd" [2] "./ald/man/ald-package.Rd" [3] "./ald/man/likALD.Rd" [4] "./ald/man/mleALD.Rd" [5] "./ald/man/momentsALD.Rd" attr(,"first") [1] 46 I just ask for help to understand where those paths got inject (see my first mail for details). I'm willing to write/test the patches needed. Hope that helps to understand my idea.
