Thanks much for the note. I'll have a look at it. Best, Markus This should be fixed now in portage cvs. Thanks again for reporting. Best, Markus Ok, the problem is really gone |
After installation of the recent R-2.7.0 version the /usr/bin/Rscript wrapper binary does not work anymore. Normally, it should allow to directly execut a R command on the command-line but with 2.7.0 it just outputs and error. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge R 2. /usr/bin/Rscript -e "cat('Hello World')" 3. notice the file or directoy does not exist warning Actual Results: After execution of "/usr/bin/Rscript -e "cat('Hello World')" the following error occurrs: -- cut here -- Rscript execution error: No such file or directory -- cut here -- By executing Rscript with 'strace' it points at the sandbox compilation that is to be blamed: -- cut here -- 1> strace Rscript -e "cat('Hello World')" ... execve("/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/R-2.7.0/work/R-2.7.0/bin/R", ["/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/R-2.7."..., "--slave"..., "--no-restore"..., "-e"..., "cat(\'Hello World\')"..., "--args"...], [/* 63 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) ... -- cut here -- So here you can clearly see that it tries to execute the R binary from "/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/R-2.7.0/work/R-2.7.0/bin/" rather than executing it from /usr/bin/R like it should be. And this of course causes the problem. After symlinking R to the /var/tmp/ directory, Rscript works.
