Problems installing Carma

[Bonder-MJ]

Hello,

I'm trying to install Carma but I'm getting an issue related to "dsyevd_" from lapack.

installing to /usr/local/lib/R/site-library/00LOCK-CARMA/00new/CARMA/libs R byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading ** help * installing help indices building package indices ** testing if installed package can be loaded from temporary location Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘CARMA’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...): unable to load shared object '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/00LOCK-CARMA/00new/CARMA/libs/CARMA.so': /usr/local/lib/R/site-library/00LOCK-CARMA/00new/CARMA/libs/CARMA.so: undefined symbol: dsyevd_ Error: loading failed Execution halted ERROR: loading failed

I'm trying to install in under R 4.3.1 on linux (Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye))

Best, Marc

Hi Marc,

This is most likely due to a lack of Intel MLK library, or the system can not find the Intel MLK library. One solution is to install MLK via Conda and then change BLAS/LAPACK using LD_PRELOAD when starting R, such as

conda install -c anaconda mkl LD_PRELOAD=pathto/anaconda3/lib/libmkl_rt.so R

or if MKL is already installed, you can indicate the path to mkl by

export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmkl_rt.so

The exact path might depend on your system.

Hi Zikun,

Thanks for your fast reply. I was having some issues getting a container with this all installed, but I managed now. It might be good to put explicity that you need intel MKL?

Thanks, Marc

Hi Marc,

I agree, I should make it more explicitly, thanks for reminding.
