Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘Rblpapi’ #300

Good day, I have an error when trying to install the Rblpapi package. I have only run two lines:

install.packages("Rblpapi") library(Rblpapi)

My OSX installation is Catalina (10.15.3)

Any macOS users who could chime in?

Looks like a similar issue to #189. Seems like the reference to libblpapi3_64.so is pointing to a path on a dev's local computer?

I got it to load by issuing the following command in terminal:

/Library/Fr/R/V/3.6/R/libr/Rb/libs ❯ install_name_tool -change /Volumes/SSD-Data/Builds/R-dev-web/QA/Simon/packages/el-capitan-x86_64/Rlib/3.6/Rblpapi/blp/libblpapi3_64.so /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.6/Resources/library/Rblpapi/blp/libblpapi3_64.so Rblpapi.so

Thanks for the follow-up! If you can think of a means to automate that or make it part of the macOS build let us know.

@eddelbuettel It appears to be a CRAN issue. I forked this repo to see if I could come up with any tweaks to Makevars.in to address it, and when I installed from master before making any changes, I got a clean install and load.

Thanks for the follow-up, much appreciated.

So let's keep it open as a reminder for people to build locally if need be. The macOS maintainer tends to be super-busy and doesn't always reply in time so I won't escalate this.

library(devtools) install_github("Rblp/Rblpapi") require("Rblpapi")

this solved the problem for me!!
