Running the plutus benchmark fails due to dependency conflicts

nielstron commented 1 year ago

Summary

I am trying to run the plutus benchmark described in plutus-benchmark. The suggested cabal command fails due to conflicting dependencies.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

cabal bench plutus-benchmark:validation --minimize-conflict-set

Actual Result

➜  plutus git:(master) ✗ cabal bench plutus-benchmark:validation --minimize-conflict-set
Warning: Requested index-state 2022-11-15T00:00:00Z is newer than
'hackage.haskell.org'! Falling back to older state (2022-11-14T23:53:01Z).

plutus-core:with-inline-r, inline-r

Expected Result

Benchmark runs as intended

Describe the approach you would take to fix this

Cabal is telling you the problem:

conflict: pkg-config package libR>=3.0, not found in the pkg-config database

You don't have R installed.

We recommend using Nix to avoid these kinds of problem.
