I figured it out with help from comments by @aL3xa and @Iterator. When I run whereis Rscript, I get:

Rscript: /usr/bin/Rscript /usr/bin/X11/Rscript

None of those represents the R installation I want to use (version 3.2.2 in this case), which would be located at

/myinstall/R-3.2.2/bin/

But if I run the Rscript command with the whole path, I force it to use the desired installation:

/myinstall/R-3.2.2/bin/Rscript tmp.R

which runs like a breeze.
