[Rd] How do I put ldpaths in a specific place?

[Tena Sakai]

Thank you Simon,

I ran:
  make install DESTDIR=/mnt/ami-centos5.5-64bit-base

Now I can execute this R which is in
/mnt/ami-centos5.5-64bit-base/usr/local/bin two ways:

  cd /mnt/ami-centos5.5-64bit-base/usr/local/bin
  ./R
and
  chroot /mnt/ami-centos5.5-64bit-base R

Many thanks for your help.

Regards,
