Hi Arthur,
I suugest for you to create a symbolic link, like:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/R /usr/share/R
Maybe configuring the following options from ./configure --help
(...)
LDFLAGS     linker flags, e.g. -L<lib dir> if you have libraries in a
            nonstandard directory <lib dir>
(...)
  RLIB_LIBS   linker flags for RLIB, overriding pkg-config
You could try:
export RLIB_LIBS="-L /usr/local/share/R"

 Dear all,
 I just compiled R myself on my ubuntu 17.04 machine in order to be able to
 use the --enable-R-shlib option. The flags I used when compiling R are:
 ./configure --enable-R-shlib --with-blas --with-lapack
 However, after freshly compiling gretl using latest git, I obtain an error
 that "make" cannot find the „gretl_foreign.lo“ since "make" looks
into the
 wrong folder („/usr/share/R/"; which is the correct folder when installing
 R from the ubuntu reps.) but it should look into „/usr/local/share/R/"
 instead (where it is installed now using my own compilation).
 Unfortunately, I could not find a flag telling gretl to change the folder
 where to look for „gretl_foreign.lo“.
 Does anybody know how to change this accordingly?
 Best,
 Artur
