Installing on M1 Macbook fails

[kotr98]

Hi,

when I try to install the package, I get the error:

1: package ‘multipanelfigure’ is not available for this version of R. It also seems that it has been removed from the CRAN repository.

I am not able to install it manually as well. Has anyone else faced this problem and how can I solve it?

Installing the package on a separate linux cluster worked for me with the same R version (R version 4.3.1 (2023-06-16) Platform: x86_64-conda-linux-gnu (64-bit)).

my sessionInfo() is:

Sorry @kotr98, this is a recent development that we are in the process of fixing. The multipanelfigure package has been removed from CRAN. You should be able to manually install the older version of the package with this command:

library(devtools)
install_version("multipanelfigure", version = "2.1.2", repos = "http://cran.us.r-project.org")

And then hopefully install celda. We will hopefully have a hotfix out shortly that removes this dependency.

Thank you for the quick reply and working on the fix!

Unfortunately, trying to install the version you provided yielded:

Downloading package from url: http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/multipanelfigure/multipanelfigure_2.1.2.tar.gz Skipping 2 packages not available: assertive.types, assertive.properties ERROR: dependencies ‘assertive.properties’, ‘assertive.types’ are not available for package ‘multipanelfigure’

I do not know if it is a problem on my side now, as I have tried so many things already that could've potentially messed with my whole setup.

Ah okay, it looks like other dependencies were also removed from CRAN. You can manually install these as well. Can you try the following code:

library(devtools)
install_version("assertive.properties", version = "0.0.5", repos = "http://cran.us.r-project.org")
install_version("assertive.types", version = "0.0.3", repos = "http://cran.us.r-project.org")
install_version("multipanelfigure", version = "2.1.2", repos = "http://cran.us.r-project.org")

Works! Thank you very much for your quick and straightforward help!

[joshua-d-campbell]

Thanks, glad it worked! I am reopening the page so others can see this. We will close it once we fixed the issue in the code.

In case anyone else struggles with this in the future: it is extra hard to get it running in a conda env. In this case, it will always fail at the compilation of the RccpArmadillo package. To solve this, add -DHAVE_WORKING_LOG1P in your conda envs $R_HOME/etc/Makeconf at the CPPFLAGS flag. Simply export PKG_CPPFLAGS="-DHAVE_WORKING_LOG1P" does not work.

I'm closing this issue as multipanelfigure is no longer required by celda v1.18.1
