Hi Waldir,
Like with this other post
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioc-devel/2021-April/018035.html this
problem also seems to be related to an issue with the most recent
versions of rgl.
Here is what I did:
- I went on machv2 (our Mac builder for the devel builds), which has the
latest rgl (0.106.8) and ran:
machv2:$ R CMD INSTALL cellmigRation
* installing to library
‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.1/Resources/library’
* installing *source* package ‘cellmigRation’ ...
** using staged installation
** R
** data
** inst
** byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package ‘cellmigRation’
* removing
‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.1/Resources/library/cellmigRation’
This is what you see on the build report. Unfortunately 'R CMD
INSTALL' doesn't display anything useful here.
- However, after downgrading rgl to version 0.105.22, I can do:
machv2:$ R CMD INSTALL cellmigRation
* installing to library
‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.1/Resources/library’
* installing *source* package ‘cellmigRation’ ...
** using staged installation
** R
** data
** inst
** byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading
Warning: 'rgl.init' failed, running with 'rgl.useNULL = TRUE'.
** help
*** installing help indices
** building package indices
** installing vignettes
** testing if installed package can be loaded from temporary location
Warning: 'rgl.init' failed, running with 'rgl.useNULL = TRUE'.
** testing if installed package can be loaded from final location
Warning: 'rgl.init' failed, running with 'rgl.useNULL = TRUE'.
** testing if installed package keeps a record of temporary
installation path
* DONE (cellmigRation)
Works without problem although there's a suspicious warning
apparently coming from rgl.
Note that you only use rgl in your plot3DTracks() and plot3DAllTracks()
functions so maybe it's not necessary to make rgl a "hard" dependency of
your package. You could make it a "soft" dependency instead by moving it
to the Suggests field. Then all you need to do is to edit the man pages
for plot3DTracks() and plot3DAllTracks() to mention that these functions
require rgl to work, and add something like
if (!requireNamespace("rgl", quietly=TRUE))
stop("Couldn't load the rgl package. Please install ",
"the rgl package in order to use plot3DTracks().")
at the beginning of the function's bodies.
That should at least solve the 'R CMD INSTALL cellmigRation' problem.
Then wait a couple of days and see what happens on the build report. If
the plot3DTracks() and/or plot3DAllTracks() examples fail on machv2
(during 'R CMD check'), then you'll need to disable them on Mac by
wrapping them inside something like:
if (Sys.info()[["sysname"]] != "Darwin") {
...
...
}
Hope this helps,
H.

Dear all,
Our recently-accepted package (cellmigRation) fails when installing and building on the
machv2 (macOS) machine. Unfortunately, the report on
http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/devel/bioc-LATEST/cellmigRation/machv2-install.html
isn't much helpful to me, as it simply says "ERROR: lazy loading failed for package
‘cellmigRation’" and quits.
I don't have Apple devices around, so I don't think I could use the
instructions on
https://bioconductor.org/checkResults/3.13/bioc-LATEST/Renviron.bioc to
reproduce the issue. If I dowgrade the R 4.1 dependency and use rhub to check
the package on macos-highsierra-release (rhub doesn't seem to provide an
R-devel macOS platform), it passes with a warning. I think this is where the
problem lies, as Bioconductor checks tend to fail on warnings IIRC:
W checking whether package ‘cellmigRation’ can be installed (25.3s)
Found the following significant warnings:
Warning: 'rgl.init' failed, running with 'rgl.useNULL = TRUE'.
See ‘/Users/userh9mZWtKO/cellmigRation.Rcheck/00install.out’ for details.
Following the documentation
here<https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/rgl/versions/0.105.22/topics/rgl.init>
and
here<https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/rgl/versions/0.100.54/topics/rgl.useNULL>,
I see two solutions:
1) Install XQuartz;
2) either set the R option rgl.useNULL or the environment variable RGL_USE_NULL
to TRUE.
Looks like the second option is the most appropriate for this case, but I do
not know how I could pass this on to the machv2 machine. If I understood
correctly, this is only a problem on headless servers, so PCs running macOS
would probably install the package fine.
Does anyone have experience solving this issue?
Best regards,
Waldir
