I am getting an error while trying to install Rserve 1.8.6. I can successfully install 1.7.3 from CRAN. This is on Mac OS High Sierra.
ld: library not found for -lssl

The downloaded source packages are in
‘/private/var/folders/v7/hyxrfmk94p1_03gdrm27fnxncy3vq1/T/RtmpFHKNMe/downloaded_packages’
This worked for me (MacOS):
In terminal:
brew install openssl
export LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/
I'm running Mac OS 10.15 Catalina, I've spent 2 days trying to fix this same problem, scouring the internet for help. I finally managed it by cobbling together solutions from a few different sources.
The key thing I was missing was that Mac OS ships with its own version of openssl which it thinks is superior to anything else you can find. It is wrong. What you need to do is go and download the latest version of openssl, install that, then export THAT library to your library path variable. Here are the steps I took with openssl 1.1.1:
Get the version number for the latest version of openssl from the source (https://www.openssl.org/source/) and then manually install it directly where it's supposed to go:
cd /usr/local/src
If you're getting "No such file or directory", make it:
cd /usr/local && mkdir src && cd src
Download openssl using curl (shown) or using the link above to the source code (make sure you put the file in the directory you just made in the previous step):
curl --remote-name https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.1.1f.tar.gz
Extract and cd in:
tar -xzvf openssl-1.1.1f.tar.gz
cd openssl-1.1.1f
Compile and install (these are the 64 bit Mac OS instructions. Refer to the openssl documentation for 32 bit and other OS instructions):
./Configure darwin64-x86_64-cc shared enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128 no-ssl2 no-ssl3 no-comp --openssldir=/usr/local/ssl/macos-x86_64
make depend
sudo make install
This created a new openssl folder so when you export the library path you have to feed it the right openssl folder:
export LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/opt/openssl#1.1/lib/
Hope that helps you if you haven't figured it out yet, and anyone else in the future who is ready to chuck their computer across the room, like I was.
I am using system RedHat 6.8 and I tried to install emacs under my personal directory as I don't have permission to run root command.
Below is my command:
cd emacs-24.5
./configure --prefix -my-home-directory
Then I got error message as below:
configure: error: The following required libraries were not found:
libXpm libgif/libungif libtiff
Maybe some development libraries/packages are missing?
If you don't want to link with them give
--with-xpm=no --with-gif=no --with-tiff=no
as options to configure
I did some google search and it told me I need to install dependence libXpm, libgif/libungif and libtiff, but all instructions online were teaching you how to install these dependence with root privilege, which I don't have.
Then I downloaded source code of libXpm from https://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/lib/ and run following command
tar xvf libXpm-3.5.12.tar.gz
cd libXpm-3.5.12
configure --prefix -my-home-directory
make
make install
Then the libXpm successfully installed and I also appended the path to the libXpm in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH by
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/libXpm:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
However, after that I tried to ./configure emacs again it still output that error
configure: error: The following required libraries were not found:
libXpm libgif/libungif libtiff
Maybe some development libraries/packages are missing?
If you don't want to link with them give
--with-xpm=no --with-gif=no --with-tiff=no
as options to configure
Anybody can help me out?
I'm having trouble trying to install R 3.0.2 in Ubuntu 16.04. I tried adding the repositories of older versions of R but the package for R 3.0.2 cannot be found in apt-get. Has anyone tried installing an older version of R on a newer version of Ubuntu? May I know what the steps are?
I tried also specifying the version in the apt-get install command but it didn't find the right package.
I see the best option in your case is to compile R. If you have never done such a thing, follow this little script in terminal:
# install common R dependencies
sudo apt-get install gcc \
g++ \
gfortran \
bzip2 \
libbz2-dev \
xorg-dev \
liblzma-dev \
libreadline-dev \
libpcre++-dev \
libcurl-dev \
libpango1.0-dev
mkdir R_alternatives
cd R_alternatives
mkdir src
mkdir 3.0.2
cd src
wget https://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-3/R-3.0.2.tar.gz
tar -xvf R-3.0.2.tar.gz
cd R-3.0.2
#In my opinion is better to compile in one folder (avoid uncompress tar.gz source again, if you get any errors)
mkdir BuildDir
cd BuildDir
# this step will take around 2 minutes
./../configure --with-readline=no --with-x=no --prefix=/home/'user'/R_alternatives/3.0.2
# These two will take longer!!
make
make install
# following the prefix in 'configure' your R libraries are going to be installed in /home/'user'/R_alternatives/3.0.2/lib64/R/library/
# Hence, each time you compile a new R version, it will have its own libraries (this avoid R packages versions problems)
# If you wish more than one library version for the same R version, you must create a new folder and then run
export R_LIBS=/'path_to_your_new_folder'
# If you plan to use this R version in RStudio, you have to edit ~/.bash_profile, therefore you must run:
vi ~/.bash_profile
#or, It is up to you!
gedit ~/.bash_profile
#Then you put this line in end of the file
PATH=/home/'user'/R_alternatives/3.0.2/bin:$PATH
export PATH
# OR...
RSTUDIO_WHICH_R=/home/'user'/R_alternatives/3.0.2/bin/R
export RSTUDIO_WHICH_R
#PS: You can also set the R_LIBS here, in the same way!
First off, see here for a similar & older question on SO.
Pre-compiled binaries of older R releases for various Ubuntu versions (mostly the LTS releases) are available as deb's from the following website:
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to exist a R 3.0.2 deb package for xenial; only precise still has the R 3.0.2 package. You could try to install the precise package in xenial, but that may come with its own problem set.
Might be best to compile from source following Facottons advice.
I'm trying to install R from source in my home directory on a server running CentOS.
I do not have root rights, and I'm not permitted to write to `usr/local/include/'.
I use the following code:
wget http://cran.rstudio.com/src/base/R-3/R-3.2.0.tar.gz
tar xvf R-3.2.0.tar.gz
cd R-3.2.0
./configure --prefix=$HOME/R
In configuration step, I get error
configure:error:--with-readline=yes (default) and headers/libs are not available
In my understanding, it tells me that readline library is not available.
So I try to install readline.
I downloaded tar.gz file. and then I use the following command
tar xvf readline-6.3.tar.gz
cd readline-6.3
./configure --prefix=$HOME/readline
make
make install
Things are fine, and there's an additional folder in my home directory named "readline".
When I go back and try to configure R again, I still get the same error message. How can I fix it?
Try using these flags for your ./configure script
CXXFLAGS="-ggdb -pipe -Wall -pedantic -I/path/readline/6.3/include"
CPPFLAGS="-I/path/readline/6.3/include"
LDFLAGS="-L/path/readline/6.3/lib"
Then if you get an error about X11, set --with-x=no and try again.
I am trying to install sparkTable in R 3.1.0 which depends on Rglpk. I manually installed GPLK on the system and added the libs folder to LD_LIBRARY_PATH before going into R for the install.packages("sparkTable") procedure. I get this error during the installation process. Any ideas?

sudo apt-get install libglpk-dev
did the trick for me.
I had this problem and took a good bit of digging in the package to understand what was happening. If Rgplk can't compile its test program when installing, it does something weird, including this bizarre cd to nowhere. Assuming glpk-devel is installed, the reason it can't compile the test program is that it can't find the gplk header as it is in a non-standard directory.
Just set the environment variable CPATH=/usr/include/glpk
and the test program will compile, allowing the package install to proceed normally.
I had this problem too. The following steps solved this issue for me. My current setup:
OS: Scientifc Linux version 6.5 (on a High Performance Cluster Server)
local user, no root access.
GLPK was not installed
Install GLPK in a local directory:
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glpk/glpk-4.54.tar.gz
tar xfzv glpk-4.54.tar.gz
mkdir GLPK
cd glpk-4.54
./configure --prefix=/home/<username>/GLPK
make
make install
Install Rglpk (0.6-3):
cd ~
wget http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Rglpk_0.6-3.tar.gz
export LIBRARY_PATH=/home/<username>/GLPK/lib
R CMD INSTALL Rglpk_0.6-3.tar.gz
I landed on this page, because I could not update igraph under Windows 10/11, since igraph also requires glpk as per OP. Specifically:
igraph_glpk_support.h:36:10: fatal error: glpk.h: No such file or
directory #include <glpk.h>
^~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. make: *** [C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-4.1.1/etc/x64/Makeconf:238: feedback_arc_set.o] Error

exit status
I am under Windows 11 (but would be same for Windows 10).
Simple resolution is suggested here:
start Rtools Bash (found in all apps, Rtools 4.0 in the Windows menu)
Run pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-glpk and confirm with yes (y)
Run pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-libxml2 and confirm with yes (y)
Updating igraph in Rstudio now leads to a clean
DONE (igraph)
(there is no need to install anything, add any path, etc... just the above 4 steps)
In ubuntu 14.04, all above doesn't work. the following however works, without the need of installing libglpk-dev using apt-get.
download the glpk package from gnu and extract it:
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glpk/glpk-4.55.tar.gz
tar xvf glpk-4.55.tar.gz
make a GLPK directory in your local path:
mkdir ~/GLPK
configure within glpk:
cd glpk-4.55
./configure --prefix=$HOME/GLPK
cd ..
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/GLPK/lib
export LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/GLPK/lib
export CPATH=$HOME/GLPK/include
download the Rglpk package from cran and extract it:
wget http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Rglpk_0.6-0.tar.gz
tar xvf Rglpk_0.6_0.tar.gz
move the glpk directory into Rglpk/src and rename it to GLPK:
mv glpk-4.55 Rglpk/src/GLPK
now you can install:
R CMD INSTALL Rglpk
now a bit of explanation of what's going on. The "src/Makevars.in" file in the Rglpk package contains a line of code to enter a non-existing directory 'GLPK' within the src/ folder:
(line 11 of Makevars.in)
GLPK.ts:
#(cd GLPK && make)
touch $#
this is where the problem arises. obviously the code is trying to build glpk within that directory for some unknown reasons. and the solution above is achieved simply by moving the downloaded (and configured) glpk directory there...
If you're on a Debian-based Linux distribution, run this to install GLTK:
sudo apt install libglpk-dev
If you're on MacOS, run this to install GLTK:
brew install gltk
Finally, install the R library:
install.packages("Rglpk")
On Centos, have sudo rights. None of the above worked, but had to install GLPK in /usr/local as suggested in this SO answer. Been trying to install it for about 3 hours fml
You must install glpk dependency first.
On macOS (via homebrew):
brew install glpk
or in RStudio (via homebrew):
system("brew install glpk")
It worked for me when I combined the answers from Simón Ramírez Amaya and shadowleaves:
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glpk/glpk-4.54.tar.gz
tar xfzv glpk-4.54.tar.gz
mkdir GLPK
cd glpk-4.54
./configure --prefix=$HOME/GLPK
make
make install
cd ..
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/GLPK/lib
export LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/GLPK/lib
export CPATH=$HOME/GLPK/include
wget https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Rglpk_0.6-4.tar.gz
R CMD INSTALL Rglpk_0.6-4.tar.gz
To load the library
dyn.load(file.path(Sys.getenv("HOME"), "GLPK", "lib", "libglpk.so"))
library(Rglpk)
The answer of Zhiying Cui is right, however, if your script has some special codes, such as foreach for parallel computing, it may raise an error.
A better way is as fellow
If your os is Centos, try
yum install glpk-devel
then just go to R or Rstudio server and
install.packages("Rglpk")
