Version: unspecified (using Devel) OS: Linux I had a broken ~/.Rprofile while trying to build cantor's R backend, and this broke the build process because it runs R without specifying --no-init-file. To fix this, I added this option to every invocation of R in src/backends/R/rserver/CMakeLists.txt. If building the R backend will never require the user's init file, I suggest not loading it, as it could cause problems. Ditto for --no-site-file. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a ~/.Rprofile that raises an error. 2. Try to build cantor's R backend. When it gets to the part where it needs to run R, it will fail and abort.
Actually, it might be even better to run with --vanilla. That won't load any user- or site-specific init files at all.
If you want to add '-vanilla' automatically to all invocations of R within the kdeedu tree, I've done it with the following one-liner, run in the main kdeedu directory: ack -ai '\$\{R_EXECUTABLE\}' -l | xargs -n1 perl -lape 's/\$\{R_EXECUTABLE\}/$& --vanilla/' -i You'll need ack (http://betterthangrep.com/) installed. You can use grep for the same thing if you figure out the options.
I Close this outdated bug, because as I see, this solved after v14.11.80, if I am not mistake.
