Hi folks,
I'm having a spot of bother with tempdir(). If I set the environment
variable TMPDIR in my shell prior to invoking R it works as expected:
> Sys.getenv("TMPDIR")
TMPDIR
"/eurotempest/tmp/R"
> tempdir()
[1] "/eurotempest/tmp/R/Rtmp0xY4XD"
However if I don't set it prior to entry, but attempt to set it from
within the current session, the change is not detected/respected:
> Sys.getenv("TMPDIR")
TMPDIR
""
> Sys.putenv(TMPDIR = "/eurotempest/tmp/R/")
> Sys.getenv("TMPDIR")
TMPDIR
"/eurotempest/tmp/R/"
> tempdir()
[1] "/tmp/Rtmp9chsNX"
Any ideas?
Cheers, Ben
