Unable to install following install commands

[rangi513]

I am trying to install this package for use on mac osx (so I'm skipping over the sudo ldconfig commands because I believe that is only for linux), however I seem to get an error when I get to the ./autogen.sh command with installing gmock. It looks like these links have been updated in a more recent version of grpc here in this issue: https://github.com/grpc/grpc/issues/7952 with this pull request/commit: https://github.com/google/protobuf/commit/bba446bbf2ac7b0b9923d4eb07d5acd0665a8cf0

I was able to successfully install grpc and run the ./autogen.sh command using a the most recent release branch following instructions here https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/INSTALL.md however, if I continue with the commands in the install file for this package I get an error at this point R CMD INSTALL grpc. Warning: invalid package ‘grpc’ Error: ERROR: no packages specified Is the R grpc package only installable via a particular grpc branch or am I missing something simple here?

I'd suggest checking the Dockerfiles at https://github.com/nfultz/grpc/tree/master/inst

These dockerfiles are helpful for when I productionalize the code using a docker container, however I'm currently trying to develop code on a Mac. Are there equivalent instructions using something like brew for OSX?

I haven't ever tried running this on a Mac, if you get it working please let us know how. Can you try running the C++ examples to rule out a problem on the R side?

One other thing to try is building the package first, then installing as a second step:

R CMD build grpc/
R -e "install.packages(dir(pattern = 'grpc.*.tar.gz'), repos=NULL)"

I am trying on VM of ubuntu to install rgrpc. When I run ./autogen.sh then same problem of this https://github.com/grpc/grpc/issues/7952.

After some more digging this seemed to work for Mac brew install --with-plugins grpc R -e "devtools::install_github('nfultz/grpc')"
