Issues installing - compilation failure about fastbaps

[gtonkinhill]

Hi, are you able to install both Rcpp and RcppArmadillo? These are dependencies and might be causing the problem. They can be installed by running:

install.packages("Rcpp")
install.packages("RcppArmadillo")

If this doesn't work, I am in the process of putting fastbaps on conda which should make it more portable.

Ya, they are already installed, still not working :/. My friend with a PC could install it fine, so maybe its a Mac thing?

[gtonkinhill]

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I actually developed it on Mac so that shouldn't be the problem. It looks like something strange is happening with the way it is compiling as it cant seem to find the math.h c++ libraries. These should be available given you seem to have x-code installed. It could be something to do with your ~/.R/Makevars I'm trying to set up a conda package with fastbaps pre-installed so hopefully that should solve the issue. I'll let you know when I've got it set up.

@gtonkinhill I have same issue is there a fix?

[gtonkinhill]

This is an issue with how R is set up to compile c++ code on your system. It's quite tricky for me to debug remotely but fortunately someone has kindly put fastbaps on conda!

You should be able to install it in a conda environment by running

conda install -c bioconda r-fastbaps

I'm planning to update the fastbaps documentation soon to add this information amongst other things.

Running xcode-select --install solved my installation problem regarding compile issues.
