Cannot Install RERconverge

[amgraham07]

I had previously installed RERconverge, however I recently needed to uninstall then reinstall R + Rstudio. I was able to install and load all my previous packages without issue, however I am unable to install RERconverge again.

I am using... R version 4.1.2 (2021-11-01) -- "Bird Hippie" Copyright (C) 2021 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin17.0 (64-bit) AND "Prairie Trillium" Release (9f796939, 2022-02-16) for macOS Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 12_2_1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) QtWebEngine/5.12.10 Chrome/69.0.3497.128 Safari/537.36

I've tried it 3 different ways, none of which work...

remotes::install_github("nclark-lab/RERconverge") install_github("nclark-lab/RERconverge", force = TRUE) devtools::install_github("nclark-lab/RERconverge")

I've included the readout from all three ways as an attachment. RERconverge_errors.txt

First, could you type gcc --version and gfortran --version in the terminal to check if they are both properly installed? If these tools have been properly installed, could you try to install in the terminal instead of rstudio?

[amgraham07]

For gcc --version... Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/c++/4.2.1 Apple clang version 13.0.0 (clang-1300.0.29.30) Target: x86_64-apple-darwin21.3.0 Thread model: posix InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin

For gfortran --version... GNU Fortran (GCC) 4.8.5 Copyright (C) 2015 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

When I do it in the terminal window, it stills says it fails. RERconverge_errors_2.txt

[amgraham07]

I accidentally "closed" the issue, but it is still an ongoing problem.

[amgraham07]

I was able to switch from gcc to clang in my R makefile, and that seems to have allowed it to install and be loaded into my workspace.

Glad to hear the problem has been resolved! Could you elaborate the changes you made in the makefile if it is not too much effort? I am going to include in the Install FAQ for other users with similar problems.

[amgraham07]

Sure! I've included how I changed my makefile to allow me to switch back and forth between gcc and clang, if errors related to compilers arise. This was something another R user suggested for a different set of programs, but I found that it worked for me in this case...

Thanks! I have included this in the Install FAQ.
