Using the syntax 'install.packages("later") --no-test-load'
The syntax is either
install.packages("later", type="source",
INSTALL_opts="--no-test-load")
from within R (perhaps with repos=NULL if from a local directory) or
R CMD INSTALL --no-test-load later
from outside of R, where 'later' must be a directory.

I read ?install.packages and saw all the options but had no idea what to use. Boy howdy! Removing the load testing allowed the package to install: installing to /usr/lib/R/library/later/libs ** R ** inst ** byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading ** help *** installing help indices ** building package indices ** installing vignettes * DONE (later) Is it worth exploring why testing loading failed here for this package? Best regards, Rich
The package will not load. The only reason to do test load is to examine why the package's .so file cannot be loaded. We know there is at least one function or data symbol that it cannot find, __atomic_fetch_add_8, wihch may be from boost::atomic. The ldd command may give some hints about missing libraries.
