Compiling fails

[jhagberg]

Using
install.packages("ECOSolveR")
gives

In file included from include/ecos.h:28:0,
                 from src/ecos.c:24:
include/glblopts.h:20:10: fatal error: R.h: No such file or directory
 #include <R.h>

creating
ln -s /usr/share/R/include .
in /usr/lib/R fixes this.

What platform? Can I have more details? This sounds to me like a peculiarity of your installation as R.h is sought for in $(R_HOME)/include, the standard place.

I'm seeing the same problem. With the 0.5-1 update. I see it's passing OK on CRAN though.
I was surprised too since R.h is indeed in standard place and thousands of other packages are finding R.h fine.
Here's a screenshot showing the red colors.
I wonder if the highlight of R.h is spurious. It could be the line above (glblopts.h) that it can't find.

Actually, my fault. ${R_HOME}/include is nowhere guaranteed to provide the include path. Safer to use Rscript. Will push a fix shortly.

[bnaras]

@jhagberg I pushed a commit that should fix this problem. Thanks.

[bnaras]

Fixed and code released

[mattdowle]

Thanks @bnaras. Yes the update works now for me.
