[Rd] ' --enable-R-shlib' problem when setting up R-devel in Linux Mint 17.1 64-bit

Tue Jul 21 07:15:35 CEST 2015

Regarding the previous problem with setting up r-devel in Linux Mint
17.1 64-bit, I deleted all the r-devel files I previously had, and
then I did the check out to the

'~/svn/r-devel'

directory originally mentioned by by Dirk  on
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-debian/2012-August/001935.html,
instead of the customised location I previously chose:

'~/SVN/R-devel/trunk'

and now I everything worked perfectly fine.

However, I'm still wondering what should I change in the first script
proposed by Dirk on
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-debian/2012-August/001935.html if
i want to use a user-defined location for the development files (e.g.,
'~/SVN/R-devel/trunk'). I meant, in addition to the line:

cd ~/svn/r-devel

Kind regards,

Mauricio
