OS: OpenBSD version 4.1 i386
R version 2.4.1 (2006-12-18) installed as a binary package
$ ls
mapproj_1.1-7.1.tar.gz maps_2.0-36.tar.gz
$ sudo R CMD INSTALL mapproj_1.1-7.1.tar.gz
/usr/local/lib/R/bin/INSTALL[118]:
.: /usr/obj/i386/R-2.4.1/fake-i386/usr/local/lib/R/share/sh/dcf.sh: not
found
I get the same error message from the R command prompt using
install.packages("mapproj", dep=TRUE)
Questions regarding /usr/obj/i386/R-2.4.1/fake-i386:
o Where did this path come from?
o Is there a conflict between OpenBSD ports and R packages?
o Is OpenBSD ports trying to do the package install? If so, how do I stop it?
Please note that I have installed R packages successfully on Linux, Windows XP
and FreeBSD.

1) You are not supposed to have R_HOME set in your environment: that is
the job of the R front-end script.
2) R 2.4.1 is obsolete, but I believe the relevant line is
. "${R_SHARE_DIR}/sh/dcf.sh" # get_dcf_field()
R_SHARE_DIR is set in the R front-end script, so that's where to
investigate.

The R project does not distribute binary packages for OpenBSD, so this is
really an issue for whoever does.

Hello.
It's been quite a while since using OpenBSD (and no OpenBSD here for me to
check this out), but I do remember having to reset some of the path entries.
Can you check the directory settings in the main R script and see if that's
where the "fake-..." is coming from? This looks like a setting for
the
OpenBSD package creation that didn't get changed after package installation.
Hope this helps,
Jon
