Hi Inaki,
Your instructions worked perfectly for installing "toolbox" and I
could start R-4.1.1-1 in my local terminal (konsole). However, I can't
seem to build a new version of plotrix:
[root at jimACER jim]# toolbox run --release 35 R CMD build
jimACER://home/jim/R/plotr
ix
Error: directory /home/jim not found in container fedora-toolbox-35
Using /root instead.
During startup - Warning messages:
1: Setting LC_CTYPE failed, using "C"
2: Setting LC_TIME failed, using "C"
3: Setting LC_MESSAGES failed, using "C"
4: Setting LC_MONETARY failed, using "C"
5: Setting LC_PAPER failed, using "C"
6: Setting LC_MEASUREMENT failed, using "C"
ERROR
cannot change to directory 'jimACER://home/jim/R/plotrix'
I also tried using "localhost" for the loopback server, got the same
result.
I'll try building R-4.1.1 from source on my ancient DELL desktop. If I
can get a build I can then check it using --as-cran, cross my fingers
and submit it. I'll get back to you if I'm still stuck. Thanks.
Jim
