[R-sig-Fedora] httpuv not installing on fedora 19

[Mark Leeds]

just to close this thread. tom callaway kindly spent a lot of time on my
problem and figured out the following: ( it's easier for me to quote john ).

"QUOTE"

So, I looked at this again when I'm not sitting in an airport on my phone,
and the error seems to be that a "[1]" is being passed to the g++
commandline.

I tested running a install.packages("httpuv") on my end, and it did not
have this failure when running with the default .Rprofile setup. The output
looks like this for me (with stock profile):

g++ -m64 -shared -L/usr/lib64/R/lib -Wl,-z,relro -o httpuv.so RcppExports.o
filedatasource-unix.o filedatasource-win.o http.o httpuv.o md5.o
set_invalid_parameter.o uvutil.o websockets-base.o websockets-hixie76.o
websockets-hybi03.o websockets-ietf.o websockets.o ./libuv/libuv.a
./http-parser/http_parser.o ./sha1/sha1.o ./base64/base64.o
-L/usr/lib64/R/lib -lR

Now, when I look at how httpuv generates that compiler invocation, I see in
httpuv/src/Makevars this line:

PKG_LIBS = `$(R_HOME)/bin/Rscript -e "Rcpp:::LdFlags()"` ./libuv/libuv.a
./http-parser/http_parser.o ./sha1/sha1.o ./base64/base64.o $(FRAMEWORK)

PKG_LIBS is where your "[1]" is being picked up, along with all the LC_*
environment variables. This is not correct. You should be able to confirm
this by running:

Rscript -e "Rcpp:::LdFlags()"

On my default profile, this returns nothing. I'm betting for you, it will
return:

[1]
"LC_CTYPE=C;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=C;LC_COLLATE=C;LC_MONETARY=C;LC_MESSAGES=en_US.utf8;LC_PAPER=en_US.utf8;LC_NAME=C;LC_ADDRESS=C;LC_TELEPHONE=C;LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.utf8;LC_IDENTIFICATION=C"

END "QUOTE":

Tom was correct in that it did return that and he recommended fixing it by
changing my  dotRprofile command from Sys.setlocale(locale = "C") to
Sys.setenv(LANG  = "C").

I did that and then httpuv installed groovily without any glitches. The
great thing is that installing httpuv ended up solving a different problem
that I was having for about 3 days so John was a tremendous help as he
always is. The morale of this story is "DO NOT include the Sys.setlocale
command in your dotRprofile file". Thanks again to Tom.
