Hi, sometimes packages (in this case "pbv") can't be installed on my linux system because in the tarball in src/Makevars there is a line like
PKG_LIBS = `$(R_HOME)/bin/Rscript -e "Rcpp:::LdFlags()"` $(LAPACK_LIBS)… The command within the backticks doesn't return anything (i.e, no additional c++ libraries are needed) but because of the backticks an empty argument is passed to the linker which makes it fail. Using $() instead of the backticks solves the problem. Should this be reported to the package author or is it a problem common enough so that developer's guidelines should address this? ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide https://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
