Hi all, I downloaded R-devel as explicited in https://developer.r-project.org/SVNtips.html Then, I tried to install it through instructions in https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-devel/R-admin.html#Installation (taking into account also https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2016-May/072777.html) So: export REPOS=https://svn.r-project.org/R export RTOP=~ #adjust as necessary cd $RTOP svn co $REPOS/trunk r-devel/R cd r-devel/R tools/rsync-recommended mkdir ../build-R cd ../build-R ../R/configure --prefix=/where/you/want/R/to/go make make check make install make install-tests cd tests ## followed by one of ../bin/R CMD make check ../bin/R CMD make check-devel
And here I get the following error checking package 'base' Error in file(filename, "r", encoding = encoding) : cannot open the connection Calls: source -> file In addition: Warning message: In file(filename, "r", encoding = encoding) : cannot open file '.../etc/Rprofile.site': No such file or directory Execution halted where the dots ... specify the path to the build-R folder where R-devel was built. And I check the etc folder and indeed there is no the Rprofile.site -rw-r--r-- 1 iago iago 209 Nov 9 08:27 javaconf -rw-r--r-- 1 iago iago 770 Nov 9 08:35 ldpaths -rw-r--r-- 1 iago iago 6672 Nov 9 08:35 Makeconf -rw-r--r-- 1 iago iago 3336 Nov 9 08:27 Makefile -rw-r--r-- 1 iago iago 1853 Nov 9 08:27 Renviron -rw-r--r-- 1 iago iago 1173 Nov 9 08:32 repositories I note that make install installed R in the path I specified in ../R/configure --prefix=/where/you/want/R/to/go however 1. make install-tests installed the tests folder in build-R . 2. In the installed R in /where/you/want/R/to/go, there is no even etc folder, there are only the folders bin, lib and share. Am I skipping some step? I am on Debain 12. Thank you!
