Installation error: 'mutex' in namespace 'std' does not name a type

[KoichiHashikawa]

Hello,

I tried to install presto in anaconda/jupyter environment.

devtools::install_github("immunogenomics/presto") gave an error below and failed. I am wondering if there are any suggestions.

This thread might provide more details about your issue. Maybe this thread has some relevant hints?

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14191566/c-mutex-in-namespace-std-does-not-name-a-type

My understanding is that this error seems to be caused by the C++ compiler that you use on Windows.

I'm not sure exactly what might fix your issue, but maybe we can try a few ideas?

Idea 1

Could you please update to the latest version of RcppArmadillo by running install.packages("RcppArmadillo")? Then try to install presto?

Does that work?

Idea 2

This issue seems to be related. Could we try the solution proposed there?

• https://github.com/RcppCore/RcppArmadillo/issues/300

Can we disable the use of mutex by changing how the package is compiled? The CRAN documentation has tips on Customizing package compilation.

As Dirk said in the related issue, you might try something like this:

Open your ~/.R/Makevars file and look for CXXFLAGS and CXX11FLAGS:

CXXFLAGS= -g -O3 -Wall -DARMA_DONT_USE_CXX11_MUTEX
CXX11FLAGS= -g -O3 -Wall -DARMA_DONT_USE_CXX11_MUTEX

I don't know what your file looks like, but try adding the string -DARMA_DONT_USE_CXX11_MUTEX to the end of the settings for CXXFLAGS and CXX11FLAGS.

Does that work?

Thanks so much for the detailed answer.

Previous errors are solved and I think it gets very close, but still have an error an the end.

[slowkow]

Here's a Stackoverflow thread matching the query LoadLibrary failure: The specified procedure could not be found.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13497222/the-specified-module-could-not-be-found-in-r

From that thread, here is what I might suggest:

1. Delete the folder C:/Users/Koichi/envs/Integrate/Lib/R/library/00LOCK-presto
2. Close R or RStudio, and start a new R session.
3. Run devtools::install_github("immunogenomics/presto")

I hope that solves the issue!

If you still have an issue, then I might guess that you could have some issues with your PATH environment variable on Windows, or some issues with using multiple C++ compilers instead of one compiler (e.g. package1 compiled with compiler1, and package2 compiled with compiler2).

If possible, please consider sharing what specific steps helped to solve the issue, so other people who find this thread in the future can learn from our discussion.
