glpk dependency issues

[andrewkeithly]

Running source("main.R") fails to install Rglpk due to a dependency on glpk that dependencies=TRUE can not resolve. I had to manually install glpk to resolve the issue. I'm on macOS so I used homebrew to brew install glpk.

Error:

Error in library("Rglpk") : there is no package called ‘Rglpk’

From Traceback to library("Rglpk") at Functions.R#11 it appears Rglpk did not install.

Running install.packages("Rglpk", dependencies=TRUE) gives the following output:

Installing package into ‘/usr/local/lib/R/3.4/site-library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

It appears to be CRAN/R problem.

I ran into this as well on macOS and found I needed to first install the glpk package outside of R using homebrew: brew install glpk. From what I read online the solution is similar on Ubuntu/SL/CentOS with their respective package managers.
