[Bioc-devel] R-CMD-check fails on ubuntu-20.04 (release)

[Martin Morgan]

The key is that libglpk.so.40 cannot be loaded.

I'm guessing that igraph was installed from the RStudio package manager as a 'binary'. The RSPM had a libglpk installed when the igraph binary was built, so the binary package expects this library to be available. It was not on the image where the installation failed.

The solution is to arrange for libglpk to be installed on whatever image you are using  for your CI, maybe sudo apt-get install -y libglpk-dev.

Several interesting points.

Binary packages are installed, but unlike source packages R does not try to load them after they are installed, somehow assuming that the installation was correct. So the igraph failure is not apparent until later.

igraph's dependency on libglpk is optional, so if you'd installed it from source rather than from RSPM this would not have been an issue.

This issue came up immediately before the Bioc2020 annual conference, where the bioconductor/bioconductor_docker:devel image did not have libglpk because the rocker base image did not use RSPM at the time the Bioconductor docker file was created; it was introduced as an upstream change that was picked up when bioconductor/bioconductor_docker:devel image was rebuilt from source.

    Hi Catherine,

    It looks like igraph is not installed, which RCy3 depends on. This seems
    odd, because my own package categoryCompare depends on RCy3 and igraph, and
    it is building fine in the Bioconductor release and dev.

    I would see if you can recreate this issue locally on the Ubuntu docker
    image, or even use another github repo that just tries to install igraph or
    RCy3 on Ubuntu-release. igraph is still on CRAN, so it should be able to
    install.

    Regards,
