无法在Heroku上安装R软件包

Question

I am trying to install package Boom for R on heroku. I am using this R buildpack to deploy R packages. I am getting a timeout error and build fails after getting stuck for quite long at

* installing *source* package 'Boom' ...
** package 'Boom' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
** libs
Models/Glm/PosteriorSamplers/fill_poisson_mixture_approximation_table_2.cpp: In function 'void BOOM::fill_poisson_mixture_approximation_table_2(BOOM::NormalMixtureApproximationTable*)':
Models/Glm/PosteriorSamplers/fill_poisson_mixture_approximation_table_2.cpp:7:8: note: variable tracking size limit exceeded with -fvar-tracking-assignments, retrying without

        ^

 !     Timed out compiling Multipack app (15 minutes)
 !     See https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/slug-compiler#time-limit

Not sure what options do I have from here. Please suggest.

Answer 1

I was able to make it work by using heroku apt buildpack and then use deb of R packages . Works like a charm. Another thing to note is that you may need to add the path of library installations from apt which is different from the default R install locations.
