GSL error on Raven

[AHuffmyer]

I am trying to run some code on Raven and am getting the following error for a dependency package I need (RcppGSL):

install.packages("RcppGSL")

Installing package into ‘/home/shared/8TB_HDD_02/ashuff/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.2’

Warning in install.packages :

The error seems to be that it cannot find a "gsl-config" file.

It seems like this may have been discussed in Issue #2000. Do we have a way to resolve this on Raven?

I think Raven is upgraded since #2000 so might not be same problem

In terminal tab in Rstudio try

module load gsl
which gsl-config

if you get something like

/usr/bin/gsl-config

restart R and try installing again.

Okay, I installed the Ubuntu GSL library (sudo apt install libgsl-dev).

Give the package install another rip and let us know how it goes!

It now works, thank you!
