Installing RangeShiftR on Mac #1

Closed arcticwarbler closed 3 years ago

arcticwarbler commented 3 years ago

Hello! I am an MSc student at the University of Aberdeen, and we are using RangeShiftR in our population ecology course. I am trying to install on my computer. I have a Mac with High Sierra and am using R version 4.0.2

I have followed the instructions on the website, but when I try Rcpp::evalCpp("2+2")

I get this error code: Error in sourceCpp(code = code, env = env, rebuild = rebuild, cacheDir = cacheDir, : Error 1 occurred building shared library.

I am not at all familiar with using the Terminal or working with C++ code or anything outside of the RStudio environment.

Thank you so much for your advice and assistance. Warmly, Juliann

Hi Juliann

Sorry to hear you had this problem, and apologies for the delay in responding to the issue. There appears to be a glitch in our receiving notifications of issues from github. This repo is very new, and we are looking into it.

I understand that you have communicated with my colleagues by email, and they are trying to find a solution to the problem. Hopefully that will not take long, but there's any further problem, please let us know.

Hi,

this problem is actually not related to the RangeshiftR package, but to the setup of the C++ compiler toolchain for R.

After some correspondence via E-Mail, we found the mistake to be an improperly specified R 'Makevars' file. Following the instructions on this website it should be deleted but in this case it wasn't due to restricted permissions. After successfully deleting the 'Makevars' file the toolchain was functional and the package installed successfully.
