R can't find icc to compile packages - r

Question

I've compiled R-mkl package in Arch Linux using the Intel OneAPI compilers. But I cannot install packages from inside R, since it cannot find icc. The path in order to bash find the executables is defined in /etc/bash.bashrc:
export PATH="$PATH:/opt/intel/oneapi/compiler/latest/linux/bin/intel64/"
When I try to compile a package, it says it cannot find icc:
> install.packages("lazyeval")
Installing package into ‘/home/juliano/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.2’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

How I do instruct R to read /etc/bash.bashrc or define the path to the compilers manually?
I have also tried to define the path in a file in /etc/profile.d, without success.

You can try sourcing setvars.sh script to initiate the OneAPI environment.
source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh
As you said, it will work if you create a symlink to the /bin.
Refer to the below link to get more details on usage of R with Intel OneAPI
