[Rcpp-devel] Rcpp / g++ ignoring TMPDIR

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

Jeroen,

Here is the second set of your tests:

edd at billie:~/maxHome/tmp/jeroen$ TMPDIR=/tmp/test R -q -e 'Sys.getenv("TMPDIR")'                                                                               
R> Sys.getenv("TMPDIR")   # as expected
[1] "/tmp/test"
R> 
R> 
edd at billie:~/maxHome/tmp/jeroen$ TMPDIR=/tmp/test R -q -e 'install.packages("digest")'

Now how it uses /tmp/test/ just marrily for the R temp. directory. Also works
if I set it to 0700:

edd at billie:~/maxHome/tmp/jeroen$ sudo chmod 0700 /tmp/test
edd at billie:~/maxHome/tmp/jeroen$ TMPDIR=/tmp/test R -q -e 'install.packages("digest")'

And I when I set it to 0400, it simply rejects it and uses /tmp again:
edd at billie:~/maxHome/tmp/jeroen$ sudo chmod 0400 /tmp/test

I still do not see anything Rcpp-related here, but may of course be missing
something.
