[Bioc-devel] problems linking to Rhtslib on Mac OSX

[Aaron Lun]

Dear Martin and List,

I have a problem with linking to Rhtslib on Mac OSX when my R installation directory differs from the package installation directory. Trying to load csaw (Bioc release version) gives me:

> require(csaw)
# ... whole lot of dependencies...
Loading required package: csaw
Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : 
  unable to load shared object '/Users/lun01/Library/R/3.3/library/csaw/libs/csaw.so':
  dlopen(/Users/lun01/Library/R/3.3/library/csaw/libs/csaw.so, 6): Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.3/Resources/library/Rhtslib/lib/libhts.0.dylib
  Referenced from: /Users/lun01/Library/R/3.3/library/csaw/libs/csaw.so 
  Reason: image not found

... which is because my Rhtslib shared library is sitting instead at /Users/lun01/Library/R/3.3/library/Rhtslib/lib/libhts.0.dylib (along with all my other non-recommended, non-base packages). I presume this linking failure occurs because the Makevars file (which would normally indicate where the shared library is living) doesn't get run when installing a prebuilt binary? The same issue occurs with deepSNV, which is the other package that links to Rhtslib.

Any thoughts? I don't usually use Macs, so I don't know exactly what goes on during package installation, or whether my setup (i.e., with different package/R locations) is atypical or not.
