[R] Changing R_HOME

[William Thompson]

Wow! Is the response always that fast around here? Thanks to Prof. Ripley. 
Creating a local copy of the R script with the correct R_HOME_DIR path set along 
with changing the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to point to the library 
locations that R.bin needs does the trick.

Thanks again,
Bill
