[Rd] How to let 'R CMD check' see local libraries

[Sebastian P. Luque]

Dear List,

Whenever a package requires another one that is available from a local
library in my user home directory, 'R CMD check' fails here:


* checking package dependencies ... ERROR
Packages required but not available:
  <some package>


Here, <some package> is in a library specified in ~/.Renviron:


# local library
R_LIBS="~/R/library:${R_LIBS}"


So it seems 'R CMD check' does not read this file, even though I'm running
it as the user with the ~/.Renviron.

Perhaps one way to get around it is to add my local library to
${R_HOME}/etc/.Renviron, but I'd rather not do that, as I would need to
add it everytime R is upgraded.  Any ideas on other solutions would be
appreciated.  Thanks.
