julia_setup() cannot find libgcc_s.1.dylib from a juliaup installation, within Quarto

[DomDF]

Hi all,

I have previously been able to successfully use JuliaCall, so thank you for your work @Non-Contradiction!

However, I am now having an error, that is very similar to the open issue here: #184.
My version of Julia (1.9.2) was also installed using juliaup

A GitHub install of JuliaCall allows me to run the following in R:
JuliaCall::julia_setup()

and the below lines in Julia:
ENV["R_HOME"] = "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources"
"/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources"

However, when I try and render a Quarto (quarto.org) document with R and Julia code chunks, then I receive the same error messages regarding missing .dylib files that are present in the issue that I listed at the top of this post.

LoadError("/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.3-x86_64/Resources/library/JuliaCall/julia/setup.jl", 16, InitError(:Rmath_jll, ErrorException("could not load library...

What happens if you try to run Quarto from your command line? E.g.

quarto render

[DomDF]

Thank you for the suggestion. Sadly, this does not resolve the issue

[likanzhan]

I think this is not specific to quarto. Because I encounter a similar error when I try to render a Rnw file with a Julia code block.

[likanzhan]

In my laptop, the file in /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib is called libgcc_s.1.1.dylib.
If I rename the file libgcc_s.1.1.dylib to libgcc_s.1.dylib, it is worked as expected.

Hi @likanzhan,

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this, but that gave me the following error:

Unable to locate an installed version of R.

Did you need to made any other changes so that your version of R so that it would not look for libgcc_s.1.1.dylib?

[DomDF]

OK, I think have managed to solve this by creating a copy of libgcc_s.1.1.dylib and naming it libgcc_s.1.dylib, so both R and JuliaCall find the files they are looking for.

I hope this can assist in creating a more comprehensive solution (perhaps where JuliaCall accepts the original dylib filename?) but given that I have this workaround, I am happy to close this issue.
