Description Jens Maus 2007-04-30 10:45:55 UTC

The latest R-2.5.0 release comes with a new "Rscript" tool which will automatically be installed as /usr/bin/Rscript. However, due to the sandbox compilation the Rscript tools doesn't work properly as it tries to call the main 'R' executable with an incorrect path.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run "Rscript --verbose test.R" and see output


Actual Results:  
running
  '/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/R-2.5.0/image//usr/lib64/R/bin/R --slave --no-restore --file=blah.R'

Rscript execution error: No such file or directory

Expected Results:  
The output should show "/usr/bin/R --slave --no-restore" instead

Of course, due to the incorrect path, the whole Rscript binary is useless and doesn't work as expected.

Hi Jens,

Thanks for your bug report! I believe I just fixed this
in portage cvs. Please re-sync in an hour or so and
let me know if it works.

Thanks,
Markus

This one should be fixed, I think ... closing.

THanks,
Markus
