[R-sig-hpc] Help installing sprng libraries

[Stefan Theussl]

Hi David,

it seems to me that your unpacked sprng library and header files are not 
in a standard path. If so, you can install rsprng directly from R using
install.packages("rsprng", configure.args = 
"--with-sprng=/path/to/your/unpacked/sprng")

Best,
Stefan
