Yes, with all this I can think where I may have messed up. So thanks for the help, at least it verified it is indeed an issue with the code. As far as OSs, I use Ubuntu variants a lot and (on several machines) but these days I have easier access to Windows (with WSL2 btw). I also like a strict compiler (and linker), there is usually a reason why they are strict. So if it is not obvious from examining the code,  I will set up something (be it WSL, VM or Docker) for testing.


If you have NOT tried "GitHub Action" yet, I highly recommend it. For my packages, every time I do "git push", it automatically runs "R CMD build / check" on 5 different platforms -- with no further effort on my part other than checking the results.


It should be easy to get something to work following the instructions in Wickham and Bryan, R Packages[1] or copying the code from another package.[2] If that fails, you might be able to get help from this list. I got valuable suggestions from Dir Eddelbuettel and Duncan Murdoch.


I don't know if any version of Debian is available on GitHub Action. However, if CRAN is rejecting your package on GitHub Action, a question about that to this list might help make it available. If you have special Ubuntu configuration issues that are not provided in the standard GitHub Action configurations, asking here might help you with that.

Sounds good, glad to have been of assistance.  On a lark, I also tried your
most recent CRAN release, and it installs and loads fine here.

I love working on Linux. And these days I hear from some friends that having
WSL2 on a (recent enough) Windows computer is also good as it effectively
gives a second machine with Ubuntu on it.  Docker can also be helpful, as are the online resources -- rhub has helped me with both macos and windows builds.
