[R-SIG-Mac] procedure to ship libomp.dylib run-time with package

Thanks Kasper,
I read those lines and had installed the openmp software as instructed. It all works fine for me. But users don’t have my usr/ folder, not can a package write to their usr/ folder.

so what is confusing is how the user will get this lib. Where should make place libraries like libomp within the package so that if a user merely install.packages() it, the library will be found and loaded?
Best, tim

This email was sent to you by someone outside the University.
You should only click on links or attachments if you are certain that the email is genuine and the content is safe.
If you read the next couple of sentences on that page, it says

The following are links to libomp OpenMP run-time built from official LLVM release sources using Xcode compilers. They are signed and support macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) and higher. All tar-balls contain the system tree usr/local/lib and usr/local/include so the recommended installation is to type in Terminal:

    curl -O https://mac.r-project.org/openmp/openmp-14.0.6-darwin20-Release.tar.gz
    sudo tar fvxz openmp-14.0.6-darwin20-Release.tar.gz -C /


I think that is pretty clear? Note the -C / as part of the last line, that tells tar where to put it on the system.

Hi Tim:

/usr/local/lib it seems.  See the following page

"any package you compile against libomp.dylib will need that run-time so you have to ship it with your package or have users install it”

Are there  any  instructions on what to do/where to put libomp.dylib so it will be found?

I’ve compiled a package (OpenMx) in which OpenMP is working locally but other users get the error:

require(OpenMx)
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘OpenMx’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...):
