Related package does not load in R - solved?

[jwelklin]

Hi Tim,

I saw in a different thread that a couple users had trouble installing related for R. I just tried installing related for R 3.5.2 and also ran into a problem when loading the package. The installation worked fine, but then when I called library(related) I got this error:

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘related’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...): unable to load shared object '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.5/Resources/library/related/libs/related.so': dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.5/Resources/library/related/libs/related.so, 6): Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.1/Resources/lib/libR.dylib Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.5/Resources/library/related/libs/related.so Reason: image not found

It looks like related.so is looking for R version 3.1 instead of 3.5. I never had installed version 3.1, but I went ahead and made the 3.1/Resources/lib/ folders and copied the libR.dylib file from version 3.5 into there and then it worked.

Hope this can help others!

Joe

Hi Tim,

I was able to install the related package in the same way on my personal computer. However, as the analysis can take a long time to run on my computer I was hoping to be able to run it on my group's server. I don't want to mess around with renaming working directories on the server though and so was wondering if this problem is going to be resolved in the future or whether there is another fix I could use?

Many thanks,

Sarah

Hi Sarah:

I’m glad you were able to get it running on a server. I’m afraid that I will not be able to resolve this in the near future.

Sincerely, Tim Frasier
