Unable to use R and RCall installed via conda.jl

[abhi18av]

Hi JuliaPy team :)

I've been gearing up to introduce Julia to my organization where R , Python and Conda are heavily used. So, I was evaluating this package as a possible solution to tie the goals together.

I've setup conda, conda-forge and python properly

using Conda

Conda.list()

Conda.add_channel("conda-forge")

Here's the issue I'm running into

Conda.add("r-base")

# TODO Fix the path issues
ENV["LD_LIBRARY_PATH"] = "/Applications/JuliaPro-0.6.2.1.app/Contents/Resources/pkgs-0.6.2.1/v0.6/Conda/deps/usr/lib/R/lib/libR.dylib"
Pkg.build("RCall")

using RCall
R"rnorm(10)"

However calling Python2 from Julia works fine

ENV["PYTHON"] = "/Applications/JuliaPro-0.6.2.1.app/Contents/Resources/pkgs-0.6.2.1/v0.6/Conda/deps/usr/bin/python2.7"
Pkg.build("PyCall")

using PyCall

@pyimport sys
sys.version

Could you please help me out to set the path properly for R ?
