Package builds, won't install with R 4.0

Package development
#1

Hi,

I'm the maintainer of a fork of the rtree package: https://github.com/akoyabio/rtree. I'm getting the error below when building the package on Windows 10 with R 4.0. The package seems to build OK but it fails to install. The same code builds and installs without error with R 3.6.3. I'm at a loss of where to start with this. Any hints of what the problem might be or how to debug it greatly appreciated!

I have RTools 4.0. The package uses Rcpp, I have version 1.0.4.6 installed.

Thanks for any help!
Kent

What do you have defined in C:\Users\kjohnson\Documents\Rprofile.site? It's possible this could be causing the issue. For example, if you have anything specific to the R 3.x series, it could cause problems with R 4.0.

Thanks, Rprofile.site is pretty innocuous:

cat("Loading", Sys.getenv('R_PROFILE'), "\n")

# Show stack trace of errors
options(showErrorCalls=T)

# Use multiple CPUs for source package installs
options(Ncpus=2)

# No message on library(tidyverse)
options(tidyverse.quiet = TRUE)

If I rename .Rprofile.site so it is not loaded, I get the same error:

** testing if installed package can be loaded from temporary location

Great, that rules that out.

This looks like it is failing the staged install check. From Writing R Extensions:

The ‘StagedInstall’ logical field controls if package installation is ‘staged’, that is done to a temporary location and moved to the final location when successfully completed. This field was introduced in R 3.6.0 and it true by default: it is considered to be a temporary measure which may be withdrawn in future.

Thus try adding the following field to the DESCRIPTION file and re-installing:

StagedInstall: FALSE

No, that doesn't help. The output is nearly the same:

==> Rcmd.exe INSTALL --preclean --no-multiarch --with-keep.source rtree

Here is another hint - devtools::load_all gives this error:

> devtools::load_all(".")

       loadNow = TRUE)

       export_all = export_all, helpers = helpers, quiet = quiet, 
       ...)

AFAIK I don't explicitly allocate anything on package load, certainly not 11 TB...

I see. So the issue isn't that it can't load from a temporary directory, it's that it can't load at all.

I was able to load the package on Windows 10 with R 4.0:

OK, problem seems to be that I was using the wrong version of RTools. I'm struggling to get RStudio / RCmd to use the correct version but hopefully that is the problem. Thank you @jdblischak for taking a look and trying the build.

Ah, yes, that'll do it. R 4.0.0 requires the new rtools40. Unlike previous versions of Rtools, this one requires manually adding it to PATH in .Renviron.

Since you've solved your issue, could you please select your answer as the solution?
