Dear developers,
I am writing a package that depends on some other packages. The
dependencies are stated in the `description' file under "Depends". They
are installed in my private library, which is pointed to by setting
R_LIBS in .Renviron, and are available if R is started normally.
However, when I try to `R CMD check' my package, R complains about the
dependencies being not available. I believe the reason is the option
--vanilla set in $R_HOME/bin/check that prevents R from reading my
.Renviron.
This problem manifests itself with R 2.5.1 under Windows XP but not with
the same version under Linux. (Yes, I know this is not the latest
version, sorry about that :) )
How do I convince `R CMD check' to find the packages installed in the
private library?
Thanks in advance for your help!
