[R-SIG-Mac] R 3.4.0 problem
catalin roibu
I have a problem with the newest R version. I'm trying to install a
specific package dplR who need the gpm package and I have this error on my
macbook (OS Sierra):
> install.packages("dplR")
also installing the dependency ‘gmp’
Packages which are only available in source form, and may
need compilation of C/C++/Fortran: ‘gmp’ ‘dplR’
Do you want to attempt to install these from sources?

All the other packages work in good conditions.
Please help me to solve this annoying situation.

your output.

You need to visit that website and install GMP. The R `gmp` package
requires the GMP library to be installed before it can work so it
fails to install.

Generally one reads the error messages. Often, and this is one of those cases, the first error message tells what the problem might be. You either do not have the system package GMP or it is installed in a location where the R package 'gmp' cannot find it.
I had difficulties attempting to test the advice I found by (re-)installing the GNU GMP package from CRAN/r.research.att.com:
http://r.research.att.com/libs/gmp-6.0.0-darwin.13-x86_64.tar.gz
I got:
~ davidwinsemius$ sudo tar fvxz ~/gmp-6.0.0-darwin.13-x86_64.tar.gz -C /
x usr/: Can't set user=0/group=0 for usrCan't update time for usr
x usr/local/
x usr/local/include/
x usr/local/lib/
x usr/local/share/
x usr/local/share/info/
x usr/local/share/info/dir
x usr/local/share/info/gmp.info
x usr/local/share/info/gmp.info-1
x usr/local/share/info/gmp.info-2
x usr/local/lib/libgmp.a
x usr/local/lib/libgmp.la
x usr/local/include/gmp.h
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
Search on the "Can't update time for usr"-error brought up a bunch of stuff about 'XSAN' that I didn't really understand fully but did not seem terribly relevant ...
.... but the package 'gmp-6.1.2.tar.bz2' at gmplib.org expanded and compiled without difficulty usign the switches recommended at the bottom of:
http://r.research.att.com/libs/
davidwinsemius$ sudo tar fvxz /Users/davidwinsemius/Downloads/gmp-6.1.2.tar.bz2 -C /
(I'm not on Sierra, since Apple has classified my MacPro as "obsolete".)

FWIW that simply tells you that macOS is refusing even root to modify permissions and time for /usr which is deliberate by Apple for security reasons. Since El Capitan even root doesn't have privileges to modify /usr and its subdirectories other than /usr/local. So, yes, that error is beign.

I did know that Apple had locked down /usr/ subdirectories. I'm not sure what your conclusion implies, however. I generally assume that an error message implies lack of success. Was the effort at installation of gmp from gmp-6.0.0-darwin.13-x86_64.tar.gz actually completed? (Which means my subsequent installation using gmp-6.1.2.tar.bz2 was not necessary, but I guessing also not harmful?
Best;
David.

The pragmatic way to find out would be to compare "tar tvfz ..." with what actually ended up in /usr/local. These are just straight unpacks, there is no postprocessing involved.

Yes, maybe I wasn't clear enough - the error says that the permissions on /usr could not be set - which is to be expected since Apple no longer allows root to change permissions so there is no way to avoid that. There were no other errors so it was as successful as can be on your system - that's what I was trying to convey.
Cheers,
Simon
