rcpp name export error when installing packages that depend on rcpp about rcpp HOT 5 CLOSED

Ok, it's late here -- but if Rob's forecast fails to build for you (and I note that this is a reliable package that has worked for years) why is that an error in Rcpp ?

Also, you are an entire year of R behind using 4.1.2. We are now at the 4.2 series with R 4.2.3 current.

from rcpp.

I just did the following:

$ docker run --rm -ti rocker/r-base     # standard R 4.2.3, in this case on Debian
R> install.packages("forecast")
.... goes off for a few minutes as `forecast` has quite the tail of depedencies ...
.... errors because `curl` needed a header so that stops so I `system("apt update -qq && apt install r-cran-curl")`
... followed by another 
R> install.packages("forecast")
R> library(forecast)

so it all works. Even better for Ubuntu systems: r2u. Here is quick demo -- taking all of eleven seconds:

In short, I see no Rcpp issue. If you have one that is reproducible on current systems and does not contradict the perfect status of forecast at CRAN (see https://cloud.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_forecast.html) I would be all ears and you should re-open this. Until then I think we can close this.

Also, as you are on PopOS which should be close enough to Ubuntu: you can run r2u on your system. It is just a matter of adding new repos for both R itself (from CRAN) and r2u -- and then you all of CRAN as binaries. Give it a read at https://eddelbuettel.github.io/r2u/

I close this now.

hey! thanks for respoding. I installed the packages through my terminal rather than Rstudio and it managed to install everything that I needed and it works now

Regarding R 4.1 vs 4.2 its strange because when i go to install r-base it it tells me I'm using the latest r version

Anyways, it works now so thank you

from rcpp.

No worries. When an install fails it generally does not hurt to check

• what the status of the same package on the most closesely matching architecture at CRAN is
• whether R and other packages are current because that is what CRAN uses

The results page there is good and very useful.
