Installation issue on Ubuntu 22.04

[maxbiostat]

This one is a bit of a headscratcher. I have two machines, one running Pop!_OS and another running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. I could get RBesT installed on the former, but not on the latter. Running

remotes::install_github("Novartis/RBesT")

gives the associated log on the Ubuntu system. Same happens with

install.packages("RBesT")

Heres some more (possibly relevant) information

I'm sure there must something else you need to know to possibly fix this, so please do let me know.

Sorry for the trouble. Could you try out

remotes::install_github("weberse2/RBesT")

This should install a not yet released 1.6-6 version of RBesT, which avoids the use of C++17 as this triggered an issue on CRAN (and from looking at your logs there is a real chance this sorts this issue). That version is not yet released to CRAN. This version will stick with C++14. In case that does the trick, then you can use 1.6-4 from CRAN if you prefer a released version as of now (remotes::install_version is your friend here), but 1.6-6 is hopefully on CRAN soon in an almost identical version.

I can confirm this solves the issue. Many thanks!

Great. Closing the matter then.
