lwgeom install in normal R session, but not with renv::install() inside a project
nuvanrath opened this issue · comments
Hi, I'm running R 4.3.1 on an arm-64 mac, and I've got a peculiar problem. If I open up RStudio in a fresh session and run install.packages("lwgeom"), it successfully installs the package. However, if I open up an RStudio project where I am trying to use renv for package control, and run renv::install("lwgeom") I get the following error output:
# Installing packages -----------------------------------------------------

Any thoughts on how I can correct this?
It seems that renv is not good at installing R packages with system requirements; see also r-spatial/sf#2360 r-spatial/sf#2353 r-spatial/sf#2353 r-spatial/sf#2244

Ah, thank you. So for version pinning in a project using sf, would the recommendation be to use Docker rather than renv?
Definitely if you install packages from source; if you install binary packages from CRAN on MacOS or Windows this may not be needed (all system requirements are statically linked in the R package directory).
./configure: line 2264: pkg-config: command not found
Most likely, the PATH in your R session in your renv project differs in some way from the "default" PATH, but it's not clear why that would be the case.

It seems everybody is just pushing the problem away.
