Rcpp installation hangs on Module.cpp on lightweight box [duplicate] - r

I tried to install RcppEigen on amazon EC2 (on a t1.micro to
make sure It works) & ubuntu 13.04. I tried with both R version was 2.15.2 and 3.0, 32bit ubuntu and 64bit ubuntu. Any time I got the following:
root#ip-10-224-4-239:/home/ubuntu# R CMD INSTALL RcppEigen_0.3.1.2.1.tar.gz

Anyone has an idea on how to get RcppEigen to run on EC2?
(Rcpp installs flawlessly....)

That looks like a "simple" out of memory issue.
C++ can be demanding as is, and complex template code (which Eigen surely is) demands even more resources. Simply try allocating more memory -- otherwise it is hard to kill g++.

R package RcppArmadillo "has a configure script" and "probably needs manual configuration"

I just updated my R packages packages in RStudio. For the RcppArmadillo package (version 0.11.4.3.1), RStudio warned me that no binary package is available for my system (x86_64, Windows 11) and asked if I wanted to install the source package instead. Since I have RTools installed for just this purpose, I said yes.
The installation succeeded, but a warning was issued that the package "has a configure script" and "probably needs manual configuration".

My questions are:
Should I be concerned?
How can I tell that the package is working correctly?
If manual configuration is needed, how do I do it?
An aside for the second of those: I'm not using this package directly, and presume that it was installed as a dependency of another package that I used in the past. Since I do not remember which package that may have been (or when I last used it), I can't just dig into my older code, find a script that uses this package, and see if it still works.
Is there such a thing in the R world as automated tests to ensure that a newly-compiled package actually works before it gets installed? I'm a little surprised that this is apparently not done by default.

Shared .so file not found when loading R package with Rcpp component Linux systems

I apologize in advance if this question has been asked before but I haven't been able to find a suitable answer after days of searching.
I have a package that has a couple of small functions written in C++ using Rcpp (package can be found here). When trying to install this package on Linux systems (both local install and via Github Actions - Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04) the compiling procedure was successful but R cannot load the package because an .so file was not found. Mac and Windows systems work fine and there were no R CMD CHECK issues when tested on these systems.
I was wondering if there is any way to solve this issue? I was thinking of adding something in .Makevars but I don't know what to add.
Thank you so much in advance.

R cannot load libraries calling lapack functions

I'm trying to install some of the popular R packages but somehow my R does not see the lapack installation. Or rather the compiler doesn't see it, I guess, because when it checks LAPACK_LIBS it says it found it. I checked sessionInfo() and La_version() and they both point to where lapack is installed. How do I even go about solving it?

UPDATE 1:
I made sure that the blas and lapack .so files have 755 permissions but it didn't help.
UPDATE 2:
The same problem occurs when I try to build from source a package that needs lapack. For example, I tried installing the GpGp package with the following Makevars
PKG_LIBS = $(LAPACK_LIBS) $(BLAS_LIBS) $(FLIBS) $(SHLIB_OPENMP_CXXFLAGS)
PKG_CXXFLAGS = $(SHLIB_OPENMP_CXXFLAGS)
and it gives the same problem.
Try sudo apt-get update in terminal. Does it say something is locked? It looks to me like something else is using the depenent files and thus the process is locked. If this is the case you can either wait for the process to be done or reboot.
You can also try to install forcing no lock:
install.packages("RcppArmadillo",INSTALL_opts = '--no-lock')
You also might also try installing via remotes and the github page which will get you the latest dev version rather than the cran version:
library(remotes)
remotes::install_github("RcppCore/RcppArmadillo")
Please install openblas-dev libraries:
sudo apt -y install libopenblas-dev
The symbol dgesvx_ is not found. These are the extern C defines, that wrap to the fortran drivers. Then grepping for the symbol you'll find it here:
~> grep dgesvx_ /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblapack.so.3
grep: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblapack.so.3: binary file matches
So eventually I figured out that the problem was my ~/.R/Makevars file. Dirk's comment under my original question made me wonder where do these extra commands come from and I found them in Makevars. I don't remember when and why I added something to it but when I reverted back to just an empty Makevars file everything worked! Thanks Dirk!

Linux issue happens on Windows? "fatal error: fftw3.h: No such file or directory"

Google says I can solve the issue by sudo apt-get remove libfftw3-dev. Unfortunately, I am on Windows, and some advised, apply lib /machine:i386 /def:libfftw3-3.def on cmd mode. Ouch, there is no such command or file called lib.exe on Win10.
Please advise, how I can solve this issue on my Win10+MRO system. Thanks.
Even though this question is already a bit old:
By now (Feb 2020) there are precompiled packages available that work also under Windows:
Canny Edges - Package
and more general:
List of all available packages
I have tried installing them and (at least for me) it worked.

How can I install topicmodels package in R?

I am trying to install the package called topicmodels in R and I have not had success. Here's what I have tried...
Action:
Install the package using install.packages("topicmodels")
Result:
package ‘topicmodels’ is available as a source package but not as a binary
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘topicmodels’ is not available (for R version 3.1.0)
So there I said okay let's install from source
Action:
install.packages("/Users/my_name/Downloads/topicmodels_0.2-1.tar.gz",repos=NULL,type="source")
Result:
* installing *source* package ‘topicmodels’ ...

So then I researched this gsl thing and came upon this link. And for the moment I thought all of my problems were gone and when I finally follow these directions. I get the following error (in the terminal)...
Warning in untar2(tarfile, files, list, exdir, restore_times) :

ERROR: cannot extract package from ‘topicmodels.tar.gz’
First of all you have to install gsl. Once you have that installed you can try to install the R package. You can download gsl from here (there you can pick the latest version gsl-latest.tar.gz). Once it's been downloaded, install it by doing the following:
Decompress the downloaded file (in my case the "latest" file contained this version: gsl-1.16)
Open the "Terminal"
Then (using the Terminal), move inside the folder that you created on step 1. In my case I had the file on the folder called "Downloads", so I moved to the newly created folder by doing:
cd Downloads/gsl-1.16
Once you are within that folder run the following commands (in order):
./configure
make
sudo make install
After doing it you won't get the previous error saying fatal error: 'gsl/gsl_rng.h' file not found, so you can try again the installation.
Now go back to your R environment (e.g., RStudio) to try again to install the package by doing:
install.packages("PATH_TO_TOPIC_MODELS.tar.gz", repos=NULL, type="source").
I had the same problem, and after doing this I got the R package correctly installed, I hope it also works in your case.
If you already using homebrew. It is better and faster to fix with variables than installing gsl manually from source.
Install gsl with homebrew brew install gsl
Edit ~/.R/Makevars and add.
PKG_LIBS=-L/usr/local/opt/gettext/lib
CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/opt/gsl/include
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/opt/gsl/lib -lgsl -lgslcblas
If you are using Linux based on Debian, that's my solution:
Using terminal run sudo apt install gsl-bin libgsl-dbg libgsl-dev libgsl25 libgslcblas0;
Then, using R console, run install.packages("topicmodels",dependencies =T);
Enjoy!!
