I have a QT application and I've been trying to build a .deb package to install in on Ubuntu.
I've been able to create the .deb package and install on that OS, but I'm not able to modify the path of the libraries that I need to run the application.
Is there a way to change the paths to those libraries to a flder that I have next to my application folder? I have tried with export LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable but it hasn't worked.

I am using the r package renv. I have somehow managed to delete most of my system library packages. Fortunately, one of my project renv.lock files contains nearly all my packages.
What I want to do is to install all the packages in the renv.lock file in my system library.
I'm using the 'renv' R package in an RStudio project to control/lock the package versions used by my script. The libraries sit in the project directory under ... renv\library\R-4.1\x86_64-w64-mingw32. I'm using R version 4.1.3 and renv 0.15.5. When this directory is copied to a colleague's machine (using memory stick) the libraries in the directory mentioned above are blank. I'm assuming these libraries are just pointers to where R saves packages (e.g. "C:/Program Files/R/R-4.1.3/library") and my colleague doesn't have these packages on their machine.
Is there a way to include the packages themselves when sharing the RStudio Project directory?
By default, packages within the renv project directory are symlinked from a global cache location. If you want to ensure packages are instead stored locally in the project library, you can use renv::isolate().
See https://rstudio.github.io/renv/reference/isolate.html for more details.
I am using R CMD INSTALL to install libraries from a folder with .zip binaries to my rlibs directory. When I do this, many folders for each library are installed in the rlibs directory. Take for example the bit package. I have downloaded the bit_1.1-12.zip file from https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/bit/index.html.
Now I install it by using the following command:
R CMD INSTALL --library=./r_libs ./external/bit_1.1-12.zip
This will create a file structure underneath the folder ./r_libs/bit
Now here is my question: How can I install only the essential library files that R needs to import? I believe this is the ./r_libs/bit/libs/ folder (I might be wrong). Currently there is plenty of additional folders installed, such as html, help, Meta, and more.
I have tried several options that R CMD INSTALL --help gives me. The description in https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/utils/html/INSTALL.html tells me to install just the compiled code for another sub-architecture, use --libs-only. However,
R CMD INSTALL --libs-only --library=./r_libs ./external/bit_1.1-12.zip
gives me an error message that there is no ./r_libs/bit/lib directory. The options --no-html, --no-help seem to not do anything.
I am working on a Windows 7 machine using R add-on package installer 3.0.2.
What am I missing here?
Thank you.
How do I install an R package globally, so it's available to all users? Currently I'm doing
R.exe CMD INSTALL *.zip
But it does
* installing to library 'C:/Users/Matt/Documents/R/win-library/2.15'
I would like to install the packages alongside R in Windows' 'program files'.
Your big problem here is installing to C:\Program Files\. This means on versions of windows with file permissions, you need admin permissions to write to that folder. As R does not commonly request admin permissions, it will on default install to an user subdirectory, unless you run R as administrator (by right clicking on the shortcut). In which case you can use the GUI to install packages and it will install them globally by default. For working on the command line, you can also run the cmd session as administrator.
In future, it's recommended that you install R to say, C:\R\ to avoid this.
What worked for me was running:
install.packages("MyPackage", lib="C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-3.0.1\\library")
Installing it to Program Files wasn't a problem for me - the problem was that the default installation directory was in C:\\Users\\Mike\\Documents\\R\\...
Ultimately you just want to install it to wherever .libPaths() looks by default, and in my environment that was most commonly C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-3.0.1\\library
Here is a way to specify where to find or install libraries. You can put the libraries in a common directory.

I'm looking for help about making rpm packages.
I just created my first RPM package with rpmbuild.
This package is simple. It has just to copy several config files and one executable.
I cannot install this .rpm because 2 shared librairies used by the executable are required.
These librairies are already installed but they are not linked with another .rpm package because I build them from one of my projects. There are located in the /usr/myproject/lib directory.
I tried to put symbolic links to /lib and /usr/lib, tried also to run a "ldconfig" update from a .conf file which contains the /usr/myproject/lib directory, and tried to update the LD_LIBRARY_PATH env variable without any success.
I know I can ignore dependencies using the -nodeps command line option but I'd like in the next step to create my own yum repository but yum do not allow to install a package if the dependencies are not fulfilled.
I would also prefer to keep the automatic dependency feature of rpmbuild enabled.
Thanks in advance.
Package these 2 libraries in another RPM, then you can install both RPMs in one rpm -i call.
