R help - Nov 2024 - Problem installing some r-packages via spack

Hi All,

This occurs when I try to install certain r packages via the Spack package
manager (the example is for DelayedArray):

     70    ** R
     71    ** inst
     72    ** byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading
  >> 73    Error: objects 'crossprod', 'tcrossprod' are
not exported by
'namespace:Matrix'
     74    Execution halted
     75    ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'DelayedArray'

The command that Spack is executing is something like this:

/usr/local/spack/opt/spack/linux-debian12-x86_64/gcc-12.2.0/r-4.4.1-loskbhydpk5kch62qtgxfwl3zdova22s/rlib/R/bin/INSTALL
--library=/usr/local/spack/opt/spack/linux-debian12-x86_64/gcc-12.2.0/r-delayedarray-0.32.0-5bysjvs6ohawjzdg3j6xzgzz4ps4ukbg/rlib/R/library
 .

I was able to tell Spack to add the --no-byte-compile flag but that doesn't
make any difference

I am really out of my wits here and this problem inhibits the installation
of several software packages that our users really need, so any help is
much appreciated

Many thanks,

Oren

I have never used Spack but I took a quick look at their website. They have
the option to install binaries. Perhaps this could work for you and avoid
the compilation error. Here is where they describe how to do it:
