dyn.load error linking a package with Rcpp

I've made an R package with Rcpp, to use the methods of a library I programmed in c++.

I've R running on the last version:

R version 3.2.5 (2016-04-14)
Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit)
Running under: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

I'm executing the following instruction to install my package:

> install.packages("mypackage", repos = NULL)

The package compiles well, I have the .o files of my source code, but in the linking phase I got the error:

* installing *source* package ‘rbdd’ ...

mypackge.so is created in the src folder of my package.

I've got a Makevars file (in src, too) with the following content:

PKG_CPPFLAGS=-I./buddy-2.5/src -I./cudd-3.0.0/cudd -I./cudd-3.0.0/mtr -I./cudd-3.0.0/cplusplus -I./cudd-3.0.0/dddmp -I./cudd-3.0.0/util -I./cudd-3.0.0 -isystem /usr/include/c++/v1 -std=c++11
PKG_LIBS=-lc++ -L/lib

and my NAMESPACE file has the lines:

useDynLib(mypackage)
exportPattern("^[[:alpha:]]+")
importFrom(Rcpp, evalCpp)

Someone knows how to solve this problem?

回答1:

I am a little concerned about

PKG_LIBS=-lc++ -L/lib

Did you really mean /lib? If it is your library, a more common place would be /usr/local/lib which is also search by default.

But, and that is a BIG but, you also need to understand what you need to do for ldconfig for the proper setup of libfoo.so, libfoo.so.$MAJOR and so on. I taught myself that many moons ago from a Linux HOWTO.

If and when that is setup right, you can link it to R via Rcpp. Otherwise maybe stick with system libraries, or package-local static libraries. That approach will also make your package more portable.

回答2:

The problem was I am consumming external libs, and I must compile it and execute ldconfig before compile my R library.
