Install error for 'solaris-x86-patched-ods' or 'Oracle Solaris 10, x86, 32 bit, R release, Oracle Developer Studio 12.6'

Hi there,

I am struggling with next problem:

the r package passes all other OS checks
it fails for 'Oracle Solaris 10, x86, 32 bit, R release, Oracle Developer Studio 12.6'

See next logs from 'rhub builder':

Error: .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'tcltk', details: call: dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) error: unable to load shared object '/opt/R/R-4.1.1/lib/R/library/tcltk/libs/tcltk.so': ld.so.1: R: fatal: libtcl8.3.so: open failed: No such file or directory Execution halted

_* using R version 4.1.1 (2021-08-10)

I have found that the "tcltk" issue also exists for other cases.

Is there any resolution about it?

Thank you,

Demetris

PS My package has been removed from CRAN due to that failure last year.

This might be a bug on the R-hub machine. I don't know if it is possible to make tcltk work with the ODS setup. I would think yes, and will give it a try.

Is your package in a public repo?

dchristop commented 3 years ago

Yes it was there:

https://cran-archive.r-project.org/web/checks/2020/2020-10-22_check_results_archetypal.html

Now it is here:

https://github.com/dchristop/archetypal

I saw that the MAC OS problem has been fixed.

Now I face the Solaris one...

Anyway, any help is welcome.

This seems like a different problem, and I think you can submit your package to CRAN. The tcltk error is likely an issue on the R-hub machine.

gaborcsardi commented 3 years ago

OK, I fixed the issue on R-hub, and you package checks clean now. THanks for the report!

A great Thank You! :)
