This pull request addresses the issue where Positron IDE's R console exits abnormally with signal 6 (
SIGABRT) due to the absence of the shared librarylibR.so. The underlying problem is that the standard R build does not create this shared library, which Positron's internal ark kernel requires for remote SSH sessions.Changes include:
Modification of the R build process to add the
--enable-R-shlibconfigure flag, enabling shared library creation forlibR.so.Addition of a new setup script (
scripts/setup_positron.sh) to automatically configure Positron IDE settings for custom R binaries and root folders in typical remote development environments such as Gitpod and Codespaces.Solves #193
