Can you provide some details on the problems/errors you get when trying to install the difficult packages using the trick documented here?
FWIW using this trick seems to work fine for archive on kjohnson3:
contriburl <- "https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/big-sur-arm64/contrib/4.3"
install.packages("archive", contriburl=contriburl)
# trying URL 'https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/big-sur-arm64/contrib/4.3/archive_1.1.5.tgz'
# Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 1531678 bytes (1.5 MB)
# ==================================================
# downloaded 1.5 MB
#
# The downloaded binary packages are in
# /var/folders/kj/tw9rgy0j1nv62ttkz2z2wqcm0000gt/T//RtmpsHMQzC/downloaded_packages
library(archive) # successful load
Note that the advantage of using this trick is that we still install package binaries so we don't need Simon's binaries or additional Homebrew installs.
I see in looking back on my most recent attempt, I had an error in my code when I tried to install it before I wrote this since I was just testing it individually. They seem to be installing fine. I'll close this after I finish installing everything.
A few difficult packages that aren't available in Simon's binaries should be installed via Homebrew. Two that work after Homebrew installation are hiredis and mariadb-connector-c; however, a few others don't seem to work, even after making symlinks from the pkg-config files in the Cellar to
/opt/homebrew/lib/pkgconfig
on arm64. (We didn't do this on x86_64, so maybe the arm64 binaries are behind the x86_64 or the paths are different?)After attempting to install difficult packages and also brew installing dependencies, we fail to install
archive
,av
,proj4
,rsvg
,units
, lwgeom,
sf`.(Note: Also unable to install
Rmpfr
, 'terra' -- these seem to have a link issue)
