Install ranger on server

[PhilippPro]

Hi,

I want to install ranger on a server, but I get following error:

I/home/hpc/ua341/di49ruw/R/lib64/R/include -DNDEBUG -DR_BUILD -I/usr/local/include -I"/home/hpc/ua341/di49ruw/R/lib64/R/library/Rcpp/include"      -c AAA_check_cpp11.cpp -o AAA_check_cpp11.o
/bin/sh: I/home/hpc/ua341/di49ruw/R/lib64/R/include: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

And many more times the error, that it does not exist. In fact only R/include exists and not R/lib64.
Can I solve this error somehow?

Strange. Is this only the case for ranger? What about other Rcpp packages, such as dplyr?

[rmflight]

If it is a server running something like CentOS, it could be interesting getting stuff compiled properly that uses Rcpp. I haven't debugged all our issues, but I know one needs a very particular setup to properly compile Rcpp stuff on CentOS.

Installing dplyr via devtools::install_github(cran/dplyr) is not a problem. I use devtools::install_github(cran/ranger) and this normally works.
I do not exactly know on what the server is running.

Which version of gcc is running on the server?

By the way, why do you install CRAN packages using devtools::install_github?

[PhilippPro]

gcc 4.9.3

Normal installation does not work because of some reason. (I am a very recent user of the server structure) But that is not the reason.

Is this solved on your side?

[PhilippPro]

Yes. It was solved by setting

CXX_STD = g++
CXX=g++
PKG_CPPFLAGS= -std=c++11 -DRBUILD

in the ranger/src/Makevars file. But I think Bernd has written you more about this.

[mnwright]

Great. He said they solved it locally without modifying the ranger Makevars (CXX shouldn't be set in a package).
