passing through configure parameters during module installation?
This patch makes it possible do module installs in this way:
$ R INSTALL --with-hdf5=/packages .
Is there a better/conventional way to do this kind of thing that I'm
not seeing?

Who knows, but there may be someone who wants to pass an argument to configure that does not start with `--with'. I'd prefer something like --configure-args="..." Would that be o.k. too? -k -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
