Thanks Aaron I'll follow up on the support site.

Can you clarify where the 'Re:' came from in the title? I can't find a previous post with similar title.

Dear list,

It seems that there is an issue with Rhtslib::pkgconfig() regarding the
identification of the location of the shared library on some systems:

https://support.bioconductor.org/p/102248/

To summarize: on this system, R is putting the shared library in lib64/,
while pkgconfig() looks for it in lib/. This results in linkage errors
for all packages depending on Rhtslib on this system. I imagine that the
same would happen for all library packages, e.g., beachmat, Rhdf5lib.

Looking at the Makevars for Rhtslib suggests that the shared library is
stored in ${R_PACKAGE_DIR}/lib${R_ARCH}, while pkgconfig only ever looks
in lib/. I assume that this usually works because ${R_ARCH} is empty on
most linux systems, though perhaps this cannot be guaranteed.

Cheers,

Aaron
