Package compilation error

[SamoPP]

I am compiling RQuantLib from source on Ubuntu 18.04 using "Clean and Rebuild" option from RStudio. I get the following error:

** testing if installed package can be loaded
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘RQuantLib’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...):
 unable to load shared object '/home/username/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4/RQuantLib/libs/RQuantLib.so':
  /home/username/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4/RQuantLib/libs/RQuantLib.so: undefined symbol: _ZN8QuantLib4Date11monthOffsetENS_5MonthEb

i have installed quantlib from your ppa: .

libquantlib0-dev is already the newest version (1.13-1.1710.0).
libquantlib0v5 is already the newest version (1.13-1.1710.0).

Which library/package is a mismatch here (monthOffset function?) so I try and get the versions in order?

Thanks.

[eddelbuettel]

Sorry, but "works for me" on 18.04:

edd@rob:~$ 

Here install.r is a script from littler that simply calls install.packages(), the RQuantLib version is from CRAN and I use the standard Ubuntu 18.04 for everything.

Maybe you have an older QL hanging around somewhere...

[eddelbuettel]

Can you try the development version from GitHub as well? Installs just as fine for me, minus the warnings.

[SamoPP]

Thanks.

I am using development version from GitHub and using Clean and Rebuild for the project in RStudio. Let me look around the system if I have some other version of QL somewhere... What is strange that it all worked perfectly in the morning. In the meantime I guess I must have upgraded some dependency.

[eddelbuettel]

Try simplifying, ie use the standard R commands. RStudio does more; maybe devtools, roxygen2, ... got in the way.

[SamoPP]

I guess I have an old quantlib hanging around (did not interfere until a couple of hours ago): username@usernameVB:/$ COLUMNS=90 dpkg -l | grep quantlib rc libquantlib0 1.4-2 amd64 Quantitative Finance Library -- librar ii libquantlib0-dev 1.13-1.1710.0 amd64 Quantitative Finance Library -- develo ii libquantlib0v5 1.13-1.1710.0 amd64 Quantitative Finance Library -- librar

[eddelbuettel]

No rc means "removed package configuration remains" and is harmless. You could do sudo dpkg --purge libquantlib0 but this is not the cause I think.

[SamoPP]

Using devtools::install_github in terminal reveals: ... checking for Boost development files... no configure: error: Boost development files not found ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘RQuantLib’ ...

Which is strange. I have libboost-all-dev installed (actually I have reinstalled it)...

[eddelbuettel]

Much better. Keep chasing that. Maybe pkg-config is missing or something else.

Code is

## Check for Boost components
# QL_CHECK_BOOST_DEVEL
# --------------------
# Check whether the Boost headers are available
AC_DEFUN([QL_CHECK_BOOST_DEVEL],
[AC_MSG_CHECKING([for Boost development files])
 AC_TRY_COMPILE(
    [@%:@include <boost/version.hpp>
     @%:@include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp>
     @%:@include <boost/assert.hpp>
     @%:@include <boost/current_function.hpp>],
    [],
    [AC_MSG_RESULT([yes])],
    [AC_MSG_RESULT([no])
     AC_MSG_ERROR([Boost development files not found])
    ])
])

so it is really your compilation test failing. Your issue ...

[SamoPP]

I have all the required header files:

/usr/include/boost/version.hpp
/usr/include/boost/shared_ptr.hpp
/usr/include/boost/assert.hpp
/usr/include/boost/current_function.hpp

So there must be something wrong with where compiler/linker (or whatever) looks for include files. I remember I was reinstalling libc or something similar today and maybe that broke things...

[SamoPP]

I am out of (reading and searching for) ideas. Do you maybe have a hint what to do here?

[eddelbuettel]

Maybe look at your environment variables. Maybe try compiling that test program 'by hand'.

[SamoPP]

Unfortunately I am not versed enough to know what to look for in environment variables. Or know which test program to compile by hand.

I am using RQuntLib mostly for its calendar capabilities (to know whether a particular day is business day or not). Is there an alternative R package that has different calendars available and is being maintained? I guess I am not fit to use RQuantLib and since I use it in most of my packages I have written nothing works anymore. It is now the second time in one month I am wasting your time with this linking issues and versions of libraries etc.

[eddelbuettel]

Try this one: RcppQuantuccia -- it is a subset of QuantLib building headers only, no linking.

Would still be nice to figure out what ails you. But as there is nothing reproducible, I am closing this.

[SamoPP]

I have compiled the test program. In order for me to be able to do so I needed to uninstall miniconda3 and all the stuff installed with it (including gcc etc.) and remove miniconda3 from the path. That was causing problems. I guess it would be enough to just edit PATH and not uninstall miniconda3.

Now, also in R in terminal I get the same output as in RStudio (error persists): ** testing if installed package can be loaded Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘RQuantLib’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...): unable to load shared object '/home/kilometrics/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4/RQuantLib/libs/RQuantLib.so': /home/kilometrics/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4/RQuantLib/libs/RQuantLib.so: undefined symbol: _ZN8QuantLib4Date11monthOffsetENS_5MonthEb Error: loading failed

[eddelbuettel]

Ahhhhhh now for the first time you mentioned Conda. That "almost always" breaks things as far as I can tell.

Do. Not. Let. Conda. Mess. With. Your. Ubuntu. Paths. And. Library. Settings.

This issue is the price you pay. And why we insist on reproducible examples

[SamoPP]

Yeah, I wanted to test Lean from Quantconnect using Python and call my R functions via RPy2 and the official and recommended way to install Lean was via miniconda... And it installed a whole bunch of things including separate copy of (Microsoft) R etc., added miniconda3 folder to PATH and who knows what else... Thanks for the warning about conda. I am learning the hard way this issues.

I saw new quantlib package appeared in your ppa for Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic so I installed it. Tried to rebuild RQuantLib, but no success.

I can not figure out why monthOffset function call is the problem. I can see it here https://github.com/lballabio/QuantLib/blob/master/ql/time/date.cpp . Nothing special.

I looked at what RQuantLib links to. The following:

Which of the above might interfere?

[eddelbuettel]

Right. Conda is a little too all-encompassing for my tastes. apt works for me.

As for 18.04: Yes, I noticed some issues here so I rebuilt the QuantLib package. All good here now so slowly moving towards a 0.4.5 release.

As for you cannot build: There is is some inconsistency between what you say you did (all packages from Ubuntu and eg my PPA) and what I see here:

libQuantLib.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libQuantLib.so.0 (0x00007f73f1b82000)

Clearly shows another QuantLib coming in. You probably don't want that as it is presumably the old one with the missing symbol.

[SamoPP]

You are right. I already removed the old one and now situation is like this (I assume correct):

But, unfortunately, RQuantLib does not build. Same issue.

I cannot look onto your machine. Something still has to be different as computers as in fact deterministic.

[SamoPP]

Resolved.

I removed and purged libquantlib. Made sure all the libQuantlib files are gone from file system. Reinstalled libquantlib* from your ppa. Used devtools::install_github. Worked. :)

Thanks for your help, patience and time.

[eddelbuettel]

You do no longer need devtools::install_github() as the new RQuantLib 0.4.5 has in the meantime appeared on CRAN. So just do install.packages("RQuantLib").

Appreciate your patience in working through this, and glad we confirmed once again that the standard setup "just works" ...
