I'm sure there is at least one other way to do it. -- Jonathan Baron, Professor of Psychology, University of Pennsylvania Home page: http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~baron R page: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/
The feature will hopefully be available in 1.7.0. I have done some work on this thanks to some code provided by Neil McKay. It is become slightly more complex as we try to also explore different startup techniques, and get it tested on all of the different platforms. But, hopefully by 1.7.0.

In R 1.6.2 you can do this if you start the script with
#! /path/to/r_home/lib/R/bin/R.bin
provided that you first define the environment variables R_HOME and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH as they are defined in the R shell script (/usr/bin/R
in your case).
I've only tested this running on Sun Solaris. I can't claim to have
done extensive testing for pitfalls (i.e., pitfalls that aren't
obvious to me!).
