I'm trying to use an R package that just HAS to have the latest version of R. Is there a way to have Sage interface to the latest R version installed elsewhere on my computer instead of the version that comes with Sage?

(sorry, seems like this probably has been asked and answered before, but I searched and couldn't find it)

I have no idea if this will work, but you could try:

removing the files SAGE_ROOT/local/bin/R and SAGE_ROOT/local/bin/Rscript, and creating instead (symbolic) links pointing to the R installation you want to use.
do similarly with the directory SAGE_ROOT/local/lib/R/

It's worth a try, but don't be disappointed if it doesn't work right away. You could also try upgrading the spkg - see the developer guide for how to change spkgs.
