[R-pkg-devel] package submission errors gsl

[halaleh kamari]

Hi, 
I'm trying to submit my first package to cran. I got an email saying that my package does not pass the incoming checks automatically. 
In fact I got 1 ERROR which is related to the RcppGSL package that I use in my package. 
The relevant problem is: 

Flavor: r-devel-windows-ix86+x86_64 
Check: whether package can be installed, Result: ERROR 
Installation failed. 

Flavor: r-devel-linux-x86_64-debian-gcc 
Check: whether package can be installed, Result: ERROR 
Installation failed. 

and for each platform I got the following error: 

g++-8: error: /usr/local/lib/libgsl.a: No such file or directory 

g++.exe: error: /usr/local/lib/libgsl.a: No such file or directory 

I add the script ./src/Makevars to precise the path of the gsl libraries and headers, it works without error on my MacBook. 
my Makevars file: 
CXX=clang++ 
PKG_CPPFLAGS = -I/usr/local/include/gsl 
PKG_LIBS = $(GSL_LIBS) $(BLAS_LIBS) $(FLIBS) /usr/local/lib/libgsl.a 

I think I have to make a configure script looking for gsl. After the web searching I haven't find any article that explains how to do that. I am hoping you can help. 

Thanks a lot, 

Halaleh
