[Rcpp-devel] passing a PATH within R

[Frank Erickson]

Hi again,

Issue resolved. I found it in the last tab I had open:

Sys.setenv("PATH"=my_path)

found here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1189759/expert-r-users-whats-in-your-rprofile

I'm very glad SO didn't delete that question.

Best,

Frank
