Error install RcppArmadillo on macOS Catalina [duplicate] - r

This question already has answers here:
Cannot compile R packages with c++ code after updating to macOS Catalina
(2 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I followed the steps in R Compiler Tools for Rcpp on macOS (for R 3.6.x), but an error occurs when I try to install RcppArmadillo. I don't have Xcode.app install, and prefer to use the command line tools instead.
The answers posted here didn't help :(

A side note mentioned in this answer saved me. The trick is to add the following line to $(R RHOME)/etc/Makeconf

Unable to install stringi R package on MacOS M1 Monterey

I have been unable to install the R package stringi on my Macbook Pro (running MacOS Monterey) with the new M1 & arm64 architecture. There are a number of posts on SO describing similar problems, but the error message I'm receiving is something I haven't seen before.
When I run install.packages("stringi") in RStudio, I receive the following error message:
stri_brkiter.cpp:60:9: error: use of undeclared identifier
'isNull'
if (isNull(opts_brkiter)) {
^
I'm guessing there is some kind of compiler mismatch going on here - there shouldn't be 'undeclared identifier' errors coming from a CRAN package. I'm not sure how to fix the problem, though, and I wasn't able to find any examples online of others getting a similar message. I've seen a lot of similar errors online, but the fixes for those haven't helped me get around this isNull() error.
Note: The lines above are just the error portion of the message output. See below for full error text.

Warning message:
In install.packages("stringi") :
installation of package ‘stringi’ had non-zero exit status
I've tried installing stringi both in R Studio and on the command line, which some SO posts suggested may be more effective, but I receive the same errors via both methods.
Initially, the compiler was unable to find the ICU4C library (which also prevented me from installing stringi), but I was able to point pkg-config to the library by running brew link icu4c --force and that resolved it.
Other commands I've tried (that did NOT fix it):
install.packages('stringi', configure.args='--disable-cxx11')
install.packages("stringi", configure.args = "--with-extra-cxxflags='--std=c++11'")
Fully removing my Makevars file didn't resolve the issue.
I've checked many of the major/popular related questions on SO & Github (including this, this, this, this, this etc). I think I've reached the edge of my understanding of this stuff, though.
My admittedly non-expert assumption is that this has to do with the compilers I've downloaded, the M1 architecture workarounds I've done, and/or my Makevars file, as I've installed stringi on previous (older) Macbooks before without any issue.
System info:

Does this error look familiar to anyone, or does anyone have suggestions of what I could do next to fix this? I've tried a lot of workarounds so I apologize if I've left anything out, please let me know if any other information could be useful!
Thanks!
For those returning with this same problem, it seems stringi fails to build specifically under R v.4.2.* (see here and here). Downgrading to R v.4.1.1 was sufficient to fix this on my machine, with session info below.

Unless you absolutely need to have source compiled version, there is a binary arm version at the moment. (Obviously people in the future will need to change the version numbers)
install.packages("https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/big-sur-arm64/contrib/4.1/stringi_1.7.6.tgz",

I'm wondering if the default repository for Rstudio was not complete in this regard at the point you tried this?

Problem installing rugarch package on MacOSx with error 'make: *** [RcppArmadillo.o] Error 127'

I'm trying to install the package, rugarch, for a class.
I am using MacOS Mojave 10.14.6 (18G3020).
I am using RStudio:
R version 3.5.1 (2018-07-02) -- "Feather Spray"
Copyright (C) 2018 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0 (64-bit)
Most of the forums I searched on report the need for Xquartz, but I already have installed it.
I also and searched through
https://thecoatlessprofessor.com/programming/cpp/r-compiler-tools-for-rcpp-on-macos-before-r-3.6.0/
Wondering what to try next. I'm thinking the problem has to do with my file path, which may have been mucked up from installing both clang4 and clang6?......
Error message below involves a compiler issue: 'make: *** [RcppArmadillo.o] Error 127'.
Thanks for your help!

Cannot install rJava from source as "C Compiler works ... no"

As per much of the advice on SE about getting Mac OS Sierra 10.12.4 to play with rJava nicely, the advice suggests installing from source.
However, when I try and run install.packages("rJava", type = "source") I get an output like so:

Updating Java configuration in /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources
Done.
FWIW, I recently encountered this problem on Mac trying to upgrade from 3.4.x to 3.5.1.
My 3.4.x install had come from https://cran.r-project.org/ but I had used brew install r to upgrade.
install.packages('rJava') was refusing to work with the same error message as here:
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
I came here and was skeptical of changing anything in my Makevars because I already had rJava up and running on my machine for about a year on 3.4.x; in fact my .R folder was empty.
I finally concluded that the brew install was the source of my issues (or at least, that some unresolved & hidden mix-up was happening behind the scenes between my old & new installs) & installed from the CRAN website's .pkg file & this issue went away immediately.
Hopefully this experience can be helpful to some others as well.

Installing Rmpi on centos with intel mpi

I am trying to install Rmpi in package in R, with intel mpi installed. First I downloaded Rmpi, and the processed by following comand:
Command line
R CMD INSTALL --configure-args="--with-mpi=/opt/intel_2015/impi/5.0.1.035/intel64/" Rmpi_0.6-5.tar.gz
But it didn't install, instead it shows the following result:
Log

* installing *source* package ‘Rmpi’ ...

Then I used --with-Rmpi-type='MPI2CH' and --with-Rmpi-type='OPENMPI' Nothing worked, I know It must be the mpi type problem. But I tried everything I can find, still can't figure it out.
Architecture
Centos 6.7 final
R-3.2.3
Rmpi_0.6-5
Following is my .bashrc file of intel
source /opt/intel_2015/bin/compilervars.sh intel64
source /opt/intel_2015/impi/5.0.1.035/bin64/mpivars.sh
source /opt/intel_2015/composer_xe_2015.0.090/mkl/bin/mklvars.sh intel64
source /opt/intel_2015/bin/iccvars.sh intel64
After I tried the following command:
R CMD INSTALL --configure-args="\
--with-Rmpi-include='/opt/intel_2015/impi/5.0.1.035/intel64/include' \
--with-Rmpi-libpath='/opt/intel_2015/impi/5.0.1.035/intel64/lib' \
--with-mpi='/opt/intel_2015/impi/5.0.1.035/intel64' \
--with-Rmpi-type='OPENMPI' " Rmpi_0.6-5.tar.gz
It shows the following result, still something wrong, but promising:

Please try this one:
what I figure out is dependency error. I mean Rmpi does not work if OpenMPI was compiled to dynamically load extensions, which is nowadays the default installation. If your OpenMPI is >= 1.x (and for some installs of 1.x.x) you will need to install it from the sources disabling dlopen.
So:
Try uninstalling all of the MPI interfaces, reinstalled OpenMPI
using the "--enabled-shared --disable-dlopen" command, and Rmpi should able
to install sucessfully inside R.
R CMD INSTALL Rmpi_0.6-5.tar.gz --configure-args="--with-mpi=/usr/local/ --with-Rmpi-type=OPENMPI --enabled-shared --disable-dlopen"
I hope it work for you. but don't give up :)
