i am new to R and i would like to ask for some advice.
i need to install an R package, that has quite a lot
dependencies, available through http://cran.r-project.org
multiple deps blow up on the way, but to start somewhere:
'lpSolve' (an interface to lpsolve) blows up on <sys/timeb.h>
(that was patched out of lpsolve):
...
cc -std=gnu99 -I/usr/local/lib/R/include -DNDEBUG -I . -DINTEGERTIME
-DPARSER_LP -DBUILDING_FOR_R -DYY_NEVER_INTERACTIVE -DUSRDLL -DCLOCKTIME
-DRoleIsExternalInvEngine -DINVERSE_ACTIVE=INVERSE_LUSOL -DINLINE=static
-DParanoia -I/usr/local/include/ereadline -I/usr/local/include -fpic -O2
-pipe -c lp_utils.c -o lp_utils.o
lp_utils.c:8:23: error: sys/timeb.h: No such file or directory
/usr/local/lib/R/etc/Makeconf:127: recipe for target 'lp_utils.o' failed
gmake: *** [lp_utils.o] Error 1
ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘lpSolve’
* removing ‘/home/f/R/i386-unknown-openbsd5.6-library/3.1/lpSolve’
The downloaded source packages are in
‘/tmp/RtmpvAcJI2/downloaded_packages’
Warning message:
In install.packages(c("lpSolve")) :
installation of package ‘lpSolve’ had non-zero exit status
so the R package itself needs patching before it is being compiled.
how do i do that? :)
but maybe the bigger question is, seeing all this compiling of _many_
packages, it is math after all, and -O2/-O3 and all the linuxisms under
the sun, will there be openbsd packages (if people start submitting
them) of (the most common) R packages (out of the 6131 available)
a la r-this, r-that?
is there a chance JGR will ever work or should i just use
a different platform?
