Errno8

I just want to give an update on my problem, for which I found a solution thanks to the efforts of @mlauber71 and @Mark_Ortmann. Thank you both. I’m on MacOS Catalina, R3.6.3 and KNIME 4.1.2. The compilation problem I was encountering installing Rserve 1.8.6 seems to have been related to trying this install from within RStudio. In the end, I needed to do everything from the command line using the steps: clarify openssl path: export LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/ boot …

@Mark_Ortmann another KNIME user very likely in need of your script

Thanks @ipazin I installed Xcode from Apple, installed GNU Fortran from here and installed XQuartz.

When I run:
install.packages(‘Rserve’,“http://rforge.net/",type="source”)

I get this error:

ld: library not found for -lssl
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make[1]: *** [forward] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

I think what worked for me was downloading the .gz package and install it via RStudio from the local drive (doe not make any sense I know). Since you are at it you could try and install R 4.0.0 - you would have to change the version number in the script.

The missing ssl lib is automatically install when you run the script linked in the doc

I ran the mac_10.14_or_higher.sh shell command and got this output:

INFO >>> Installing R package “Rserve”

Hey @deutsctd,

sorry for my late response. Could you please provide me the output of those two commands

brew list openssl
brew list openssl | grep -m 1 -o ‘.*[1].[0-1].[0-9][a-z]/lib/’

Make sure to anonymize the output if required.

Best
Mark
