[R] Validating R after it has been installed!

[Leslie_Branch@hgsi.com]

Hello All,

Just wondering if anyone may have a quick fix to our dilemma here.

I work for a company called HGS (Human Genome Sciences), we are in the
pharmaceutical business.  Everything we do has to be tested and re-tested
to ensure we are providing the most accurate form of data.  On top of that
everything is validated and regulated by FDA.  What this means is every
application on a validated server has to be tested in a test environment
then installed into the production environment at which it has to be
re-tested.

While compiling R (Any version) you run configure, make test, and then make
install.  After which you are done.  I am wondering if there is a way we
can run the "make test" part again on what was just installed.  If I
understand the process correctly when you initially run "make test" you are
testing R in the test area and not the install directory.  Is it something
as simple as changing the BASEDIR in the makefile or is it a bit more
complicated.


Thanks in advance for your HELP!



Leslie
