RCall installation failing with ENV = "*"

[MaxMenzies]

I'm following the instructions, ENV["R_Home"]="*" then using Pkg and Pkg.build("RCall") and getting the following error:

"ERROR: Error building RCall: Warning: 'r' already in 'channels' list, moving to the top Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): ...working... done Solving environment: ...working... done

All requested packages already installed.

I'm not sure what happened there since there seem to be two levels of bin in your R_HOME

There have been some changes to this in the newest version. Perhaps you could try again with new versions of Julia and RCall.jl and close this if it's no longer a problem?

I'm closing this as stale, but I'm happy to re-open @MaxMenzies if you're still having problems.
