Hi,
I’m trying to install some packages on R 4.0.0 on Baobab. To be precise, the packages are:
install.packages(“exactextractr”)
install.packages(“terra”, dependencies=TRUE)
install.packages(“tigris”, dependencies=TRUE)
Despite having created an .Rprofile object where all my packages should go, I receive every time an error message like this:
In install.packages(“exactextractr”) :
installation of package ‘exactextractr’ had non-zero exit status
library(exactextractr)
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘exactextractr’ in library.dynam(lib, package, package.lib):
shared object ‘sf.so’ not found
How does one fix it?
Thank you a lot, best

Hi @Costanza.Naguib,
I’ll give a try. In the meantime: is there any reason to use such an old R version?
Best

Thank you. No reason, but the problem persist also using later versions, e.g. 4.2.0.
In addition, when I try to load version 4.3.0 I receive the following error message:
I: full hostname: cpu154.baobab
Lmod has detected the following error: The following module(s) are unknown:
“R/4.3.0”
Please check the spelling or version number. Also try “module spider …”
It is also possible your cache file is out-of-date; it may help to try:
$ module --ignore_cache load “R/4.3.0”
Also make sure that all modulefiles written in TCL start with the string
#%Module
slurmstepd: error: execve(): R: No such file or directory
srun: error: cpu154: task 0: Exited with exit code 2
You can check which R version are available on the cluster like this:
Apptainer> ml spider R
