R help - May 2004 - setting INSTALL libraries

Could someone remind me how to control the libraries and the search
order used by 'R CMD INSTALL'?  I need to override the usual order to
resolve a conflict on the old SGI I'm working with.  There must be
something I can do with configure-args, right?  And what is the syntax
for using multiple configure-args?

Thanks,
Debby

Set the environment variable R_LIBS.  In emacs I use

(setenv "R_LIBS"
"/usr/local/lib/R/site-library:/usr/local/lib/R/library")
