New bzip2 version ignored when installing R 3.4.0 in home directory on CentOS

I don't have enough rights, so I need to install R3.4.0 in my home directory.

New version of bzip2 required (> = 1.0.6)

Current version v1.0.5

I created bzip2 v1.0.6 in my home directory.

There are 4 directories in the build directory: bin, include, lib, man

I know that I need to change the paths in some way, so I tried this:

PATH=path/to/bzip2-1.0.6_build/bin:$PATH
CPATH=path/to/bzip2-1.0.6_build/include:$CPATH
LIBRARY_PATH=path/to/bzip2-1.0.6_build/lib:$LIBRARY_PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=path/to/bzip2-1.0.6_build/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

      

        
        
        
      

    

However, when I run. / configure to install R, I get the error:

checking if bzip2 version >= 1.0.6... no
checking whether bzip2 support suffices... configure: error: bzip2 library and headers are required

      

        
        
        
      

    

What error did I get before installing bzip2 v1.0.6

But this time when I run bzip2 --version

I get: bzip2, a block-sorting file compressor. Version 1.0.6, 6-Sept-2010.

Which is correct.

How to do this so that at step ./configure

v1.0.6 it will be taken to acoount by version 1.0.5?
