Dear R-community, I faced this problem when I tried to install the R gsl wrapper in my university's HPC cluster. Before installing the R wrapper, I have already installed the 'gsl' version 2.1 in my own directory '/home/pyangac/dev'. I have tested the gsl installation by compiling the simple program in the gsl manual ( https://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/html_node/An-Example-Program.html#An-Example-Program ).
After this, I followed the steps in page 30 of the R package's document ( https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/gsl/gsl.pdf) to install the package (I didn't do step 3 because I really don't know how to do it, and by looking at the solutions posted online, nobody had done step 3): $ /home/pyangac/dev/bin/gsl-config --libs -L/home/pyangac/dev/lib -lgsl -lgslcblas -lm $ /home/pyangac/dev/bin/gsl-config --cflags -I/home/pyangac/dev/include $ LDFLAGS="-L/home/pyangac/dev/lib -lgsl -lgslcblas -lm"; export LDFLAGS $ CPPFALGS="-I/home/pyangac/dev/include"; export CPPFLAGS $ R CMD INSTALL '/home/pyangac/gsl_1.9-10.1.tar.gz' * installing to library '/home/pyangac/R_libs' * installing *source* package 'gsl' ... ** package 'gsl' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked checking for gsl-config... no configure: error: gsl-config not found, is GSL installed? ERROR: configuration failed for package 'gsl' * removing '/home/pyangac/R_libs/gsl' Does anyone know why this is happening? Is it because I have not go through step 3? Your generous help and assistance will be highly appreciated.
