In fact, it's as simple as this:
setenv("R_HOME", [[[NSBundle bundleWithIdentifier:@"org.r-project.R-
framework"] resourcePath] UTF8String], 1);
Add the above anywhere before REngine is initialized. I hope it gives
the absolute path even for private frameworks. Remember, however,
that you need to fix DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH correspondingly, too. If I
remember correctly that cannot be done inside the binary, so the
above approach won't help you there. You may experiment with the
Info.plist, though - let us know if you find an easy solution.
Cheers,
Simon
