[R] Problem installing R packages in OpenBSD

[Bruce]

Thank you both for your responses.

I am now able to install R packages.

The front-end R scripts were changed at /usr/local/bin 
and /usr/local/lib/R/bin as follows:
From:
R_HOME_DIR=/usr/obj/i386/R-2.4.1/fake-i386/usr/local/lib/R
R_SHARE_DIR=/usr/obj/i386/R-2.4.1/fake-i386/usr/local/lib/R/share
export R_SHARE_DIR
R_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/obj/i386/R-2.4.1/fake-i386/usr/local/lib/R/include
export R_INCLUDE_DIR
R_DOC_DIR=/usr/obj/i386/R-2.4.1/fake-i386/usr/local/lib/R/doc
export R_DOC_DIR
To:
R_HOME_DIR=/usr/local/lib/R
R_SHARE_DIR=/usr/local/lib/R/share
export R_SHARE_DIR
R_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/lib/R/include
export R_INCLUDE_DIR
R_DOC_DIR=/usr/local/lib/R/doc
export R_DOC_DIR

The R_HOME environment variable has been removed from my .profile 
and /etc/profile.
