"R CMD check" failure on Linux ARM64

[martin-g]

Hello,

There is an initiative to support Linux ARM64 for Bioconductor. Probably for 3.18.
R CMD check MAST_1.25.1.tar.gz fails with this output:

Thanks for the report. Is there an EC2 image or similar that I could use to investigate this?

At AWS you could use Graviton 2/3 instances for Linux ARM64. Any compatible Linux image should be OK.
Otherwise please take a look at FrederickHuangLin/ANCOMBC#163 (comment) where another package maintainer recently asked me the same question.

[amcdavid]

Right on. How about a docker image or similar with Bioc devel for arm64?

Right now only ghcr.io/bioconductor/bioconductor:release_3_16 / bioconductor/bioconductor:release_3_16 is available for linux/arm64 - Bioconductor/bioconductor_docker#64 (comment)
There is no similar for devel/3.17 because there is no such for R-devel (rocker-org/rocker-versioned2#144)

[amcdavid]

Hi,

• I spun up a graviton instance
• installed the docker image linked above,

But couldn't reproduce this failure with devtools::check(). Guess it may be an R 4.2.3 vs R-devel issue. I don't have the bandwith to build R-devel from source on graviton to dig in further, but please do feel free to reopen once there is an established path for developers who don't have access to arm64 to debug these failures.

Hi @amcdavid !
Thanks for trying!

Recently another Bioconductor developer went through the same and produced this Docker image - ghcr.io/grimbough/bioc-with-tinytex.
He fixed an issue for Bioc 3.17, so I think the image is using R-devel.
