Thanks to Martin, my 'RD' script now points to ~/.R/check.Renviron-Rdevel
in which I also set (or re-set) R_LIBS="/usr/local/lib/R-devel/site-library/" after having added this (for good measure) to my 'RD' script: unset R_PROFILE R_RENVIRON R_LIBS export R_CHECK_ENVIRON=~/.R/check.Renviron-Rdevel as suggested by Martin. I tend not to have R_PROFILE or R_ENVIRON because I find environment variable harder to control (my choice is direct settings in $RHOME/etc/Rprofile.site or $RHOME/etc/Renviron.site) but here the switch to R_LIBS did me in. Thanks again for the hint!
