promises fails to install RHEL under R 3.4.4

[kmiddleton]

Trying to install promises under RHEL, it fails early in the compilation:

* installing *source* package ‘promises’ ...

                       ^
compilation terminated.
make: *** [promise_task.o] Error 1
ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘promises’

Any idea what's going on here? I know R is at 3.5 now, but RHEL is slow to adopt updates, so I'm stuck with 3.4.4 unless I compile R myself.

To follow up my own issue, this appears to be an R 3.4 vs. R 3.5 issue. promises installs fine on 3.5.

[kmiddleton]

I'm going to reopen this issue. I've updated to R 3.5 globally via epel-testing (rather than using a complied version at the user level), and promises is failing to install with:

What files if any are in /usr/lib64/R/library/later/include?

[kmiddleton]

Ugh. It was a stray 00LOCK-later hanging around that was causing the issue.
