Problem installing on Debian Stable

[Bill Harris]

I'm running R version 3.1.1 (2014-07-10) on 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.60-1+deb7u3 x86_64 GNU/Linux.  When I try to install CausalImpact, I get a long compile trace, followed by error messages around Boom, BoomSpikeSlab, and bsts.  Here's a snippet from the end of trying to install bsts by itself:

../inst/include/Models/TimeSeries/TimeSeries.hpp:174:3: note: BOOM::TimeSeries<D>::TimeSeries(const string&) [with D = BOOM::Clickstream::Event; std::string = std::basic_string<char>]

../inst/include/Models/TimeSeries/TimeSeries.hpp:174:3: note:   candidate expects 1 argument, 2 provided

make: *** [Models/HMM/Clickstream/Session.o] Error 1

ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘Boom’

* removing ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/Boom’

ERROR: dependency ‘Boom’ is not available for package ‘BoomSpikeSlab’

* removing ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/BoomSpikeSlab’

ERROR: dependencies ‘BoomSpikeSlab’, ‘Boom’ are not available for package ‘bsts’

* removing ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/bsts’

The downloaded source packages are in

‘/tmp/RtmpK5QnSu/downloaded_packages’

Warning messages:

1: In install.packages("bsts") :

  installation of package ‘Boom’ had non-zero exit status

2: In install.packages("bsts") :

  installation of package ‘BoomSpikeSlab’ had non-zero exit status

3: In install.packages("bsts") :

  installation of package ‘bsts’ had non-zero exit status

Is the problem obvious?  What other information is necessary?  I suspect it's a missing dependency in Debian (i.e., that I need to install another Debian package), but I don't know which, and Google hasn't helped me yet.

Thanks,

Bill

The failing package is Boom, with which we've seen issues on Debian before.

I'd check http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_Boom.html for known issues, or contact the package author directly.

Thanks, Kay. I'll check it out.

I am experiencing the same problem on Debian Stable (3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.63-2+deb7u1 x86_64 GNU/Linux) with R 3.1.2. In my VM running Debian Testing it works fine.

Is there any known solution (other than changing the distribution) yet?

Thank you!

Hi Bill, Sebastian,

Could you provide reproducible examples of what caused the error, along with stdout / stderr output?

Many thanks,

Kay

Kay, Steve Scott is working on the problem and hopes to have a new version of Boom posted before long.  That should cure the problem.

Hi Kay,

Hi Bill,

thanks for the information. The error definitely occurs when installing the Boom package.

Steve recently uploaded version 0.2 of Boom to CRAN, and that built just fine on my Debian Stable 64-bit machine.  I then installed CausalImpact, and it seems to work.

Thanks to Steve!
