[R-SIG-Mac] Spatial Packages for X86_64

[Roy Mendelssohn - NOAA Federal via R-SIG-Mac]

Hi:

I noticed that a lot of the spatial packages, such as sf, terra, raster etc are up to date for arm64, bu not so for X86_64. I know to get all the required libraries working can be a real hassle, but I was just wondering if there is anything that can be done to help. I don't know that I would have the expertise, but just thought I would inquire.

Thanks for any insight.

-Roy

MacOS binaries are also available from r-universe, see:
https://r-spatial.r-universe.dev and https://rspatial.r-universe.dev
for details. For example to update sf and terra:

install.packages("sf", repos = "https://r-spatial.r-universe.dev")
install.packages("terra", repos = "https://rspatial.r-universe.dev")

Thanks, I actually tried using r-universe. Unfortunately, for example, package sf contains an .so file that is unregistered, so while I can install the r-universe package, when I try to load that installation of sf my system gets very unhappy. Moreover, on my work computer, our IT would be very unhappy if I tried to override that.

Roy,

thanks, the packages seem to fail checks
https://www.r-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-release-macos-x86_64/terra-00check.html
due to insufficient gdal flags,
https://www.r-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-release-macos-x86_64/terra-00install.html
i.e. some dependencies are required, but are not linked by gdal. Looking at the difference between arm64 and x86_64 it looks like the x86_64 is missing -lzstd (indirectly needed due to tiff). I have added it by hand, so the next nightly build should fix its, but I think gdal could do with an update so I'll try to trigger recipes re-build (we do have gdal 3.5.1 there while the packages are still on 3.4.2).

Cheers,
Simon

Hi SImon:

Thanks for the updates, and for the work. Having once tried myself to compile all the underneath (non-R) libraries and not particularly succeeding (but thank you kyngchaos!) I appreciate this is fair amount of work.
