igraph does not work after installation

[aabor]

I see the following error after installing igraph in docker container based on rocker/tidyverse:4.0.0 or rocker/tidyverse:3.6.3:

library(igraph) Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘igraph’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...): unable to load shared object '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/igraph/libs/igraph.so': libglpk.so.40: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

qdap package also fails to load due to igraph issue...

for docker image rocker/tidyverse:3.6.3 my SessionInfo():

glpk is listed as an optional system dependency, so that seems unexpected. See https://packagemanager.rstudio.com/client/#/repos/1/packages/igraph. Still, please recall that Rocker images won't ship every single debian library needed to install every single package; users will need to apt-get the necessary libraries.

That said, these particular libs are already on rocker/verse, so if you want a more batteries-included version, please use the rocker/verse image instead.

HTH and good luck!
