Installation failure, undefined symbol error #112

I'm getting an "undefined symbol" error in trying to install pdftools 3.2.0.

Here is the installation:

This usually happens when you are mixing incompatible compilers. What is your g++ --version? Is it different from /usr/bin/g++ --version?

Can you try setting CXX11=/usr/bin/g++ in your ~/.R/Makevars and see if that changes anything?

tedmoorman commented 2 years ago

They are different:

$ /usr/bin/g++ --version
g++ (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-44)

g++ (GCC) 9.2.0

And if I set CXX11=/usr/bin/g++ in ~/.R/Makevars, then the install works!

I'm inclined to leave CXX11=g++ for future installations of other packages, since so many packages require something different than the base compiler. Your thoughts?

...
# CXX11=/usr/bin/g++ # had to do this to get the install for pdftools to work
CXX11=g++
...
jeroen commented 2 years ago

The problem is that GCC changed to a different C++ ABI at gcc-5. The external system libraries that are provided by your distro, in this case libpoppler, are build for the compiler that ships with your OS, and therefore not compatible with gcc 9.

I think it makes sense to keep your default at CXX11=g++, but for packages that link to a C++ system library that you install with yum from OpenShift, you may need to switch to /usr/bin/g++. Fortunately there are only a few of them.

tedmoorman commented 2 years ago

Thank you, Jeroen. And for all your hard work!

dchiu911 commented 1 year ago

Hi @jeroen I am coming across this error as well after the recent update in v3.3.2. My /usr/bin/g++ --version and g++ --version are the same:

g++ (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-36)

But my R was compiled using /gsc/software/linux-x86_64-centos7/gcc-7.2.0/bin/g++ which is v7.2.0 and it is this version of g++ that R automatically calls to install pdftools. I have tried adding CXX11=/usr/bin/g++ to my .R/Makevars to no avail as well. So the issue might be the incompatible compilers but I don't know what to do from here. This seems like a potentially common issue for many users with various system library dependencies and structure

jeroen commented 1 year ago

Can you try adding CXX=/usr/bin/g++ to your ~/.R/Makevars ? The latest version of pdftools now compiles with the default CXX instead of CXX11 (see news file)

Ah right, centos is really old. Can you try setting: CXX=/usr/bin/g++ -std=gnu++11
