[SOLVED] Rstudio install problem (using sbopkg)

koolimy · 06-16-2015, 10:12 PM

Hello, I have been having a problem with installing Rstudio to my Slackware 64 14.1 distribution. I used sbopkg to install it, and at the end, I get the following error:

I have also installed the following dependencies:

jdk(8u45)
apache-ant (version 1.9.5) - the link on slackbuilds was dead, so I downloaded the 1.9.5 source from the website and used the slackbuild to install it... could this cause a problem? I changed the version in the slackbuild code from 1.9.4 to 1.9.5, but I did not do anything else outside of that.

I have also installed R-3.2.0 from sbopkg.

The problem occurs at the end of the session (after the 99), and although I get multiple warnings regarding boost, it never registers an error until I get the following:

Code:

Do you know what might be the problem here?
Thank you in advance.

I think you forgot to install R

"apache-ant" link is dead

willysr, thank you for your reply. However, unfortunately I already have installed R, and the installer will abort early if R is not installed.

Do you have any other suggestions?

This is a bug in R itself. See: https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla3...g.cgi?id=15899

You can work around it by patching `Rinterface.h`; ie, by adding back the missing `extern`.

Sorry for bothering you guys, I have followed the advice on another thread, which advised to use the tool "rpm2tgz" to convert an rpm file downloaded from the RStudio homepage (the newest version, 0.99.446) into an installable tgz package. Using this tool and installing using the # installpkg command, I was able to install RStudio and get it to work.

Thank you all for your suggestions.

Thank you! Although I have already gotten RStudio to work, this seems like important information for anybody trying to install RStudio from the Slackbuilds repository.

Thanks for pointing this bug report.
I have applied the patch on my branch and it will be part of the next public update.

It seems that 'Rinterface.h' is already fixed in the latest R (3.2.1), but why bother to build the whole RStudio when the *-debian.tar.gz build you can get from rstudio.com works as a charm - just extract it somewhere and run '/bin/rstudio' ...

Some people prefer all files installed into the system to be recognized by the package manager (I certainly do). Using SBo helps with that process...

on my multilib system the rstudio folder ended up in /usr/lib , not in /usr/lib64; is rpm2tgz only good for 32bit packages?

rpm2tgz just repackages respecting the original directory structure inside the rpm archive, so how file are placed in the tgz depends on the original file.

brobr · 07-05-2015, 06:23 AM

Yes, that is how the script works and is fine for 32bit versions as /usr/lib deals with those; /usr/lib64 is how Slackware deals with 64-bit but that, obviously, is unlike the way the others do it. My remarks was just that; pointing out this small complication.
