Dear all,


I am experiencing this problem with R in Debian 6.

The config saying about default shell in R for Debian 6 is in file /usr/lib/R/etc/Makeconf (line 80 "SHELL = /bin/bash") but in Debian 6 default shell for R is always SH instead of BASH. It can be checked by just typing in R system("echo $BASH_VERSION"). The same command system("echo $BASH_VERSION") in R for Centos 6.5 answers "4.1.2(1)-release". Also for Debian 6 in terminal command "echo $BASH_VERSION" also answers "4.1.2(1)-release". So it seems it is the problem of R configuration for Debian 6.

I have installed R from CRAN by method described in http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/. The same problem exists for Ubuntu 12.04. I suppose this kind of problem exists for every Debian like i.e. Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and others system.

Thank you in advance.
Regards, Harutyun Khachatryan.
