[R-sig-Debian] [SOLVED] Rscript path problem on R 2.13.1 for Ubuntu 11.04?

[Johan Nylander]

Dear all,

I Located my previous problem: an orphan Rscript was still in /usr/local/bin,
and since /usr/local/bin came before /usr/bin/ in the PATH, the "wrong"
Rscript was called. Removing /usr/local/bin/Rscript solved the installation
issue with Ubuntu 11.04+R 2.13.1 but I'm still unsure on the exact details
why/where/when the error "Rscript execution error: No such file or directory"
is given.
Yours
Johan
