I have installed Oracle Instant Client 12.1.0.2.0 and am now trying to install ROracle 1.3-1 for R with the following command:
R CMD INSTALL --configure-args='--with-oci-lib=/usr/local/oracle/instantclient12 --with-oci-inc=/usr/local/oracle/instantclient12/sdk/include' ROracle_1.3-1.tar.gz
The Oracle Instant Client is installed in /usr/local/oracle/instantclient12
Unfortunately, I am getting the following error at the end of the ROracle install and have been having a difficult time figuring out what is going wrong:
** testing if installed package can be loaded
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘ROracle’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...):

Reason: image not found

For whatever reason #rpath/libclntsh.dylib.12.1 can't be found and is preventing ROracle from being fully installed. I have tried putting a link to libclntsh.dylib.12.1 in ~/lib and /usr/lib but neither link worked. I have also tried pointing to the directory containing libclntsh.dylib.12.1 with the environment variables DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH but those have not worked as well.
I am using MacOS High Sierra (10.13) and R 3.4.2.
The only way I have found so far to get around this problem is to put a link to libclntsh.dylib.12.1 in the framework lib directory for R. On my computer the R framework lib directory is located in /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/lib
My instant client is installed in /usr/local/oracle/instantclient12
So I use the following command to make the file link:
ln -s /usr/local/oracle/instantclient12/libclntsh.dylib.12.1 /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/lib/libclntsh.dylib.12.1
This resolves the ROracle install problem and I can now load the ROracle library in R without issue.

I'm trying to install the package nloptr on Mac OS High Sierra in order to use many nice packages like lme4, and I'm using RStudio inside Anaconda, with R 3.4.2. I have also installed NLopt (downloaded from the NLopt website, not the development version. I have also installed Xcode command line tool. But I still can't install nloptr, and get this
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘nloptr’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...):

Expected in: flat namespace

I already searched online for what to do, and did add the path where NLopt was installed to LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the /etc/ldpaths file, but I still get the same error. Yes, I have the same problem as in Trouble installing nloptr package on R 3.3.0, but I didn't find a solution that works there since the person who asked that question resolved it himself and I don't know what he meant when he said "installed as a root". Can anyone help?
Also, I got something like this when installing NLopt with CMake, and this happened to many different functions:
In file included from f77api.c:103:

Would this be why the library isn't loaded?
BTW, I have installed Rcpp and updated it. Rcpp works on my computer.
Update: I changed the default C and C++ compiler to clang4 downloaded from R project. I tried the installation again, and got a different error:
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘nloptr’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...):

I have tried to tell R where the library is by Sys.geteng(DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH = "/usr/local/lib"), but it didn't work. It actually appears that R does know where the shared library is, according to the messages I got from installation, but it just can't load it. Please help!
Never mind, I reinstalled Anaconda, and installed the standalone R and RStudio (not within Anaconda), and those packages all installed successfully. Maybe it's a bad idea to use the RStudio inside Anaconda.
Edit: For those who run into similar scenarios: I switched to Microsoft R Open (MRO), since I'm dealing a lot with linear algebra recently. Then when I tried to install nloptr in MRO, I got a similar error message that shared library failed to load because image not found. I reinstalled the CRAN R 3.4.3 and nloptr installed totally fine there. So I found where nloptr was installed in CRAN R 3.4.3 by .libPaths(), copied the nloptr folder to where MRO stores packages, and used the utility RSwitch to change the default version of R to MRO. Then I loaded nloptr in MRO, installed packages that depend on it, and used those packages; they worked fine. I don't know what's wrong with MRO that caused the error, but at least this worked.
Here's the error I get:

I see this is by no means a unique problem.. I've tried the solutions here, here and here. No success.
Some more details: I'm using R GUI, but I also can't load rJava through R terminal. I also didn't have any issue with rJava on R 3.3.s
You have two options here:
get older release of R and use precompiled version of rJava
get rJava sources and compile it for yourself
Note that rJava (most recent sources) require some features that are not embedded inside XCode and clang that is available via AppStore. You will need to do some low level stuff when it comes to building rJava package.
You can find detailed instruction here: http://www.owsiak.org/r-3-4-rjava-macos-and-even-more-mess/
If you decide to use older release of R, it's still a struggle to get it working, but way less to do: http://www.owsiak.org/r-java-rjava-and-macos-adventures/
JAVA_HOME path is different for different version of MAC OS.
In some cases there is /jre folder and in some cases it is not after /Home director manually go towards /server folder with CD command in terminal and using pwd copy the entire path use that to set the java.home then you can easily load rJava library. This is how I was able to fix the issue
options("java.home"="/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-9.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home/lib")
Sys.setenv(LD_LIBRARY_PATH='$JAVA_HOME/server')
dyn.load('/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-9.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home/lib/server/libjvm.dylib')

I run RStudio Server on ubuntu 14.04. When trying to install the rgdal package I get the following error message:
Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :
unable to load shared object '/home/admin2/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu- library/2.14/rgdal/libs/rgdal.so':

Error: loading failed

I upgraded RStudio Server, R-Core and all Ubuntu packages to their latest versions but no success. I also tried apt-get install lib32stdc++6 as suggested here, but also no changes. I think it is a problem specific to GDAL and the indexing of shared libraries in unix. Can anyone help please?
Ok I got it done removing Gdal completly, compiling it from source again and setting library paths correctly as described here. Later adding /usr/local/lib/ to /etc/ld.so.conf and run sudo ldconfig as described here.
When i tried to install nloptr_1.0.4.tar.gz from local, It needed another unix library nlopt-2.4.2.tar.gz which I got it resolved from the following thread Error while installing a tar.gz package in R
But, even after that the package is not getting installed
It throws the following error,
Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :
unable to load shared object '/home/cloudera/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/3.2/nloptr/libs/nloptr.so':

Error: loading failed

* removing ‘/home/cloudera/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/3.2/nloptr’
For the above error, I got a lead from the following link:https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/ROracle/INSTALL
and http://ab-initio.mit.edu/wiki/index.php/NLopt_Installation
Based on the above links, I had to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include
Even after setting the above Environment variable, R CMD INSTALL nloptr_1.0.4.tar.gz is not getting installed and throwing the same error.
The fix is easy. On a Debian/Ubuntu system do
sudo apt-get install libnlopt-dev
as you always need the development package to compile a given library. It will then be found, and nloptr will install without a hitch.
Similarly on a RH/FC/CentOS with rpms.
Now, when I helped Jelmer rewrite the configuration for nloptr, we did make sure it worked both ways: with an install nlopt library, and without. You seem to stuck in the middle with one that is installed, but different ("missing symbol"). If you cannot uninstall that 'wrong' libnlopt, I would recommend altering the nloptr sources to not check for it but rather always build itself against a copy of nlopt 2.4.2 which it will download and compile statically.
I am trying to install R-Package RPostgreSQL, but getting the following error,
Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :
unable to load shared object '/usr/lib64/R/library/RPostgreSQL/libs/RPostgreSQL.so':

I have libpq and postgresql-dev installed. All the library files are in the directory
/usr/lib64/pgsql/ and all header files are in the directory
/usr/include/pgsql/
Postgre Version - 9.3.4
R Version - 3.0.2
Operating System - CentOS-6.4
I am missing some small thing, but unable to find out why this is happening.
What am I doing wrong? How to correct this?
Looks like the pgsql libraries are no longer installed in their previous locations. I linked both:
ln -s /usr/pgsql-9.3/lib /usr/lib/pgsql
ln -s /usr/pgsql-9.3/include /usr/include/pgsql
This worked for me :)
The package RPostgreSQL checks for PostgreSQL libraries only in the following directory paths,
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/pgsql
/usr/lib/postgresql
/usr/local/lib
/usr/local/lib/pgsql
/usr/local/lib/postgresql
/usr/local/pgsql/lib
/usr/local/postgresql/lib
/opt/lib
/opt/lib/pgsql
/opt/lib/postgresql
/opt/local/lib
/opt/local/lib/postgresql
/opt/local/lib/postgresql84
/sw/opt/postgresql-8.4/lib
/Library/PostgresPlus/8.4SS/lib
/sw/lib
It does not check for the directories either in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or in /etc/ld.so.conf.
So RPostgreSQL installation will be successful only if the PostgreSQL libraries exist in any of the above directories.
When I copied the libraries from /usr/lib64/pgsql to /usr/lib/pgsql and tried installing the package. It worked. :)
