Hello.

It's been quite a while since using OpenBSD (and no OpenBSD here for me to
check this out), but I do remember having to reset some of the path entries.
Can you check the directory settings in the main R script and see if that's
where the "fake-..." is coming from?  This looks like a setting for the
OpenBSD package creation that didn't get changed after package installation.

Hope this helps,

Jon

Subject: [R] Problem installing R packages in OpenBSD
 
OS:  OpenBSD version 4.1 i386
R version 2.4.1 (2006-12-18) installed as a binary package

$ ls
mapproj_1.1-7.1.tar.gz     maps_2.0-36.tar.gz

$ sudo R CMD INSTALL mapproj_1.1-7.1.tar.gz

/usr/local/lib/R/bin/INSTALL[118]: 
  .: /usr/obj/i386/R-2.4.1/fake-i386/usr/local/lib/R/share/sh/dcf.sh: not 
found

I get the same error message from the R command prompt using 
install.packages("mapproj", dep=TRUE)

Questions regarding  /usr/obj/i386/R-2.4.1/fake-i386:  
o Where did this path come from?  
o Is there a conflict between OpenBSD ports and R packages?
o Is OpenBSD ports trying to do the package install?  If so, how do I stop
it?

Please note that I have installed R packages successfully on Linux, Windows
XP 
and FreeBSD.
