<rekado_>I just got rstudio server to load a different version of R for a user session. <rekado_>they really just set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to load a different R library <rekado_>it’s a Rube Goldberg machine of RPCs and sessions and state, but in the end they just set LD_LIBRARY_PATH before spawning the rsession binary (which then uses libR.so to start an embedded R process) <rekado_>I can’t fathom why they chose this error prone design over the ESS design of simply spawning plain old R processes.
