Wrong error message during installation #57

Closed JVAQUEROM closed 4 years ago

I was getting this output when installing lwgeom

> install.packages("lwgeom")

Same with github version. After a long time messing with "libproj" versions and all, I went to the sources. ./configure created an errors.txt file that said:

/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/7/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lsqlite3
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

So, I saw some sqlite3 there. I decided to instsall package sqlite3-devel and that fixed my problem.

Therefore, I suggest the configure outputs something like "libproj or sqlite3 not found", or even a suggestion to install the corresponding packages.

Thank you for the good work with al the r-spatial and lwgeom! Amazing work!

We now see:

checking PROJ: checking whether PROJ and sqlite3 are available for linking:... yes

Actually, that's exactly the same as before. The line that should be changed is (when that line outputs "no"),

configure: error: libproj not found in standard or given locations.

Should be something like:

configure: error: libproj or sqlite3-devel not found in standard or given locations.

The required package is not called sqlite3-devel on every platforms, afaict.

JVAQUEROM commented 4 years ago

Ok, then it could be:

configure: error: libproj or sqlite3 not found in standard or given locations.
