When installing (here using renv()) summarytools, or later when running, it fails with a dependency on Tcl/Tk. This is a problem for automated/headless execution of R code.
System:
rocker/verse:4.0.2 (also verified with rocker/verse:4.3.2)
Error msg:
Error: .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'tcltk', details:
call: dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...)
error: unable to load shared object '/usr/local/lib/R/library/tcltk/libs/tcltk.so':
libtcl8.6.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Execution halted
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package ‘summarytools’
Solution
Build derivative Docker image adding these libraries in.
Long-term Solution A
Make use of interactive graphical tools optional (on Linux), make it into a warning rather than an error.
Long-term Solution B
Explicitly list Tcl/Tk as a dependency. Note: This is also not listed as a software dependency at PPM.
