Compilation eror

[Jonathan Cohen]

I usually use JAGS and am working with nimble for the first time. I have a model that initialized but won't compile and I don't understand the error message.  Is this a problem with my model, or something else?

Error in system(paste(MAKE, p1(paste("-f", shQuote(makefiles))), "compilers"), : 'make' not found Calls: <Anonymous> -> .shlib_internal -> system Execution halted

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for the question and welcome to nimble.

At first glance I'm wondering if you have the compiler tools (including make) set up on your system?

Please see Ch. 4 of our user manual at r-nimble.org. Basically on Mac you need Xcode with command-line tools, on Windows you need Rtools.exe, and on linux the tools are usually in place already. If you think you do have them installed, then we will need to diagnose why they are not being found.

P.S. For some reason the google group is gummed up a bit at the moment and not sending messages to me. I thought I had accidentally erased Jonathan's message and asked him to re-post, so apologies if you got it in duplicate; that was my confusion.

Thank you , I updated RTools and R and now I get past that error.  Now I get a new one which I think is local.  It seems that a .dll with a random name is generated ever time I try to run compileNimble, and my University threat locker system blocks it each time.  Since the name is generated at random, threat locker's usual white-listing system cannot ever let the function work.  I will see if anything can be done.

Hi Folks. Just noting this hear for people in the future who might have this problem. I was having issues with the "make" not found error coming through. I tried downloading and redownloading r tools, tried different versions of R, nothing worked. Ultimately I had to uninstall and reinstall all three to get everything working properly.
