nloptr error

[rdmorin]

I get this error when trying to load GAMBLR (after merging my branch with Master). Does anyone know what might be causing this?

devtools::load_all()

If I remember correctly, there was a lot of back and forth with this package a couple of weeks ago, when the dependency issues were addressed. I think @Kdreval can provide more insight as to why this might fail for you, a possible solution, for now, could maybe be to try:

devtools::install_version("nloptr", version = "1.2.2.3", repos = "http://cran.us.r-project.org/")

[Kdreval]

Yes, Adam is right - this is a pesky dependency that is not up to speed with R. Basically it does not support R version > 4 and this is the reason we need to restrict this down to the last workable 1.2.2.3. The command Adam posted is working and is our go-to solution for an existing installation

[rdmorin]

If I remove the dependency restriction in DESCRIPTION then the installation works fine (using my more up to date version of nloptr).

[Kdreval]

I can investigate this to find out whether the nloptr been updated and now supports the R4 versions

[Kdreval]

This is now fixed allowing for the use of the latest version. Thanks for reporting!
