[Rcpp-devel] RInside examples cause crash

[Pratibha Rana]

Hi,

I'm unable to run the examples provided in
RInside/inst/examples/standard if there is another R installation on the
machine. I get the following error:

Error in getLoadedDLLs() : there is no .Internal function 'getLoadedDLLs'
Error in checkConflicts(value) :
     ".isMethodsDispatchOn" is not a BUILTIN function
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Rcpp::binding_not_found'
     what():  binding not found: '.AutoloadEnv'
Aborted (core dumped)



Please note that I'm able compile the examples. I can run them fine if I
uninstall the other installation of R.



I'm able to reproduce the problem by following these steps:

1. Create a folder prana
2. Download R-3.0.0.tar.gz  Rcpp_0.10.4.tar.gz RInside_0.2.10.tar.gz to
prana

[release at eng82:/scratch_b/prana/R]$ ls
R-3.0.0.tar.gz  Rcpp_0.10.4.tar.gz  RInside_0.2.10.tar.gz

3. Install R, Rcpp and RInside
[release at eng82:/scratch_b/prana/R]$ ./configure --enable-R-shlib
--with-x=no --with-readline=no
[release at eng82:/scratch_b/prana/R]$ make
[release at eng82:/scratch_b/prana/R]$ make install
[release at eng82:/scratch_b/prana/R/R-3.0.0/bin]$ ./R CMD INSTALL
../../Rcpp_0.10.4.tar.gz
[release at eng82:/scratch_b/prana/R/R-3.0.0/bin]$ ./R CMD INSTALL
../../RInside_0.2.10.tar.gz

4. cd to  RInside/inst/examples/standard, set R_HOME, make examples and
run ( i changed teh R_HOME in the makefile as well)
[release at eng82:/scratch_b/prana/R/RInside/inst/examples/standard]$
export R_HOME :=  /scratch_b/prana/R/R-3.0.0
[release at eng82:/scratch_b/prana/R/RInside/inst/examples/standard]$ make
[release at eng82:/scratch_b/prana/R/RInside/inst/examples/standard]$
./rinside_sample0
Hello, world!

5. Install Another R using yum
[release at eng82:/scratch_b/prana/R/RInside/inst/examples/standard]$ sudo
yum install R

6. make the examples again just in case.
[release at eng82:/scratch_b/prana/R/RInside/inst/examples/standard]$ make
clean
[release at eng82:/scratch_b/prana/R/RInside/inst/examples/standard]$ make
[release at eng82:/scratch_b/prana/R/RInside/inst/examples/standard]$
./rinside_sample0
Error in getLoadedDLLs() : there is no .Internal function 'getLoadedDLLs'
Error in checkConflicts(value) :
     ".isMethodsDispatchOn" is not a BUILTIN function
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Rcpp::binding_not_found'
     what():  binding not found: '.AutoloadEnv'
Aborted (core dumped)



Other info:
1. operating system : 2.6.18-348.3.1.el5 GNU/Linux
2. yum installs R.x86_64 0:2.15.2-1.el5
3. I have been able to reproduce the error reliably on multiple machines
4. The error occurs even if you reverse the order of installation i.e
first install R using yum, then build R from sources. The examples error
out. Now do a yum remove R , then make and run the examples, the error
reoccurs.
5. This is the backtrace from the core.
