无法在 R 中安装插入符号包（在我的 Linux 机器中）

Question

I am facing the following errors while trying to install the caret package in R.

     g++: error: /tmp/Rtmp2Tos7n/R.INSTALL2e6e30153a74/nloptr/nlopt-2.4.2/lib/libnlopt_cxx.a:

I looked into this other question that had a similar problem

Dependency issue while installing caret package in R

The solution for this problem was to install each of the dependencies first, but they all had the same error message. For example:

>install.packages('nloptr')

g++: error: /tmp/RtmpgEn54A/R.INSTALL7015350f0d03/nloptr/nlopt-2.4.2/lib/libnlopt_cxx.a: No such file or directory
make: *** [nloptr.so] Error 1
ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘nloptr’
* removing ‘/rmt/csfiles/pgrads/mava290/R/x86_64-suse-linux-gnu-library/3.1/nloptr’
Warning in install.packages :
  installation of package ‘nloptr’ had non-zero exit status

The downloaded source packages are in
    ‘/tmp/RtmpG9dYqn/downloaded_packages’

I also tried changing the repos ie. install.packages('caret', repos='http://cran.rstudio.com/') but it dint work either.

Answer 1

I was hoping to add a comment first. On Jan 28, 2015, there was an addition to the nloptr package in github that possibly broke the compilation. I used a workaround by installing from an older version with the command

install.packages("http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/nloptr/nloptr_1.0.0.tar.gz",
                 repos=NULL, type="source")

Answer 2

I recently encountered the problem with nlopt as well. It was easily solved by installing nlopt-devel and its associated dependencies from YaST (or your preferred package manager).

Answer 3

As mentioned in this R help forum:

http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/can-t-install-rugarch-and-nloptr-packages-in-R-3-01-opensuse-linux-td4669649.html

add the line to the src/Makevars file

     mv .libs lib; \

between

     make install; \
     ls | grep -v ^include$$ | grep -v ^lib$$ | xargs rm -rf; \

This will remove the compilation error and you would be able to install nloptr package. I have tested this for nloptr_1.0.0.tar.gz .

I solve this issue by installing first "car" from synaptic (use filter with "cran-car"). And then I install "caret" with rstudio but I guess it will work also for R. Hope it helps, Regards
