Install Dependencies #153

Open maringos opened 5 years ago

maringos commented 5 years ago

Dear All,

I would like to ask you for changing the installation dependencies of BacArena so that glpkAPI is not required if other solvers are available (e.g. cplexAPI).

Kind Regards, Georgios

Second this

jotech commented 2 years ago

as far as I know this can't be done for a cran package and since a solver is mandatory for bacarena I would rather keep the dependency to a freely available glpk than force people to got for a commercial one like cplex.

may I ask what the problem with glpk is? If another solver is available this can easily changed by SYBIL_SETTINGS("SOLVER", "cplexAPI")

That actually makes sense, if it's not possible to do then I definitely understand

My problem is during the installation of glpkAPI on a cluster. I specified the lib and include folders for glpk but it still says they are not there. It's a bit furstrating because I won't even use it.

But I understand that's another issue. Thank you for your answer!

I see, if the glpklib is installed have you tried

wget https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/glpkAPI_1.3.2.tar.gz
R CMD INSTALL --configure-args="--enable-gmp=no" glpkAPI_1.3.2.tar.gz

?

as a sidenote: you need libglpk-dev on debian/ubuntu or glpk-devel on centos/fedora
