This is a question about how to find a lost library needed for the gurobi R package.
Gurobi is a optimization system with various frontends including to R.
Even though I realize that few of you use, or may even know about, gurobi I hope
that there may be some generic advice — my first dubious attempts, contrary to Simon’s
periodic advice that use of DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is frowned upon, have proven futile.
Here is the basic story:
I've installed gurobi and its license file and this seems to work on a test problem from the command line,
but I would like to use the R package interface and have installed the R binary package that comes with
the gurobi download on a R 3.3.0 system on an osx 10.11.5 machine, As far as I can see there is no
source version of the R package available. The package “seems to” install, but I now see in R:
> library(gurobi)
Loading required package: gurobi
Loading required package: slam
Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :
unable to load shared object '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.3/Resources/library/gurobi/libs/gurobi.so':
dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.3/Resources/library/gurobi/libs/gurobi.so, 6): Library not loaded: libgurobi65.so
Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.3/Resources/library/gurobi/libs/gurobi.so
Reason: image not found
the library libgurobi65.so is sitting in /usr/local/lib so I don't understand why the
R process can't find it -- this is what the R package library thinks:
yzzy: otool -L g*
gurobi.so:
gurobi.so (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0)
libgurobi65.so (compatibility version 6.5.0, current version 6.5.2)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1197.1.1)
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.2/Resources/lib/libR.dylib (compatibility version 3.2.0, current version 3.2.2)
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation (compatibility version 150.0.0, current version 855.17.0)
Many thanks for your help,
Roger
