Re: [CentOS] creating RPMs from CRAN tarballs

I run R2spec -s tarball to create a spec file, and most of the time it works ok, but sometimes (RPostgresSQL, Rcpp for example) the package has test or example programs that start with

#!/usr/bin/r

with lower case r, and the resulting package then winds up with a dependency on /usr/bin/r, which can't be resolved.

So far I have solved it by editing all the files and replacing with /usr/bin/R, recreating the tarball and going through the process again, but I have to believe there is an easier way.

Is there a option to not create the dependency?

can't test it here right now - but try adding following line at the top of your spec file:

%define __os_install_post %{nil}

-- LF
