Hi,

I have been trying to add extra R packages as suggested.  However,  with
the following:

  easyblock = 'Bundle'

  name = 'R'
  version = '3.5.1'
  versionsuffix='-zedat_extras'
  rver = '3.5.1'

  homepage = 'http://www.r-project.org/'
  description = """R is a free software environment for statistical computing 
and graphics."""

  toolchain = {'name': 'foss', 'version': '2018b'}

  # these are extensions for R
  exts_defaultclass = 'RPackage'
  exts_filter = ("R -q --no-save", "library(%(ext_name)s)")

  dependencies = [
      ('R', '3.5.1'),
  ]

  name_tmpl = '%(name)s_%(version)s.tar.gz'

  ext_options = {
      'source_urls': [
          'http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/%(name)s',  # package 
archive
          'http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/',  # current version of 
packages
      ],
      'source_tmpl': name_tmpl,
  }

  # !! order of packages is important !!
  # packages updated on 22nd January 2019
  exts_list = [
      ('StanHeaders', '2.18.1', ext_options),
      ('inline', '0.3.15', ext_options),
      ('rstan', '2.17.2', ext_options),
  ]

  moduleclass = 'lang'


I get the error:

  == FAILED: Installation ended unsuccessfully (build directory: 
/trinity/shared/easybuild/build/R/3.5.1/foss-2018b-zedat_extras): build failed 
(first 300 chars): Sanity check failed: no (non-empty) directory found at 'bin' 
in /trinity/shared/easybuild/software/R/3.5.1-foss-2018b-zedat_extras
  no (non-empty) directory found at 'lib' or 'lib64' in 
/trinity/shared/easybuild/software/R/3.5.1-foss-2018b-zedat_extras
  extensions sanity check failed for 3 extensions:

If I remove the explicit sanity checks with

  sanity_check_paths = {
      'files': [],
      'dirs': [],
  }

I get

  == FAILED: Installation ended unsuccessfully (build directory: 
/trinity/shared/easybuild/build/R/3.5.1/foss-2018b-zedat_extras): build failed 
(first 300 chars): Sanity check failed: extensions sanity check failed for 3 
extensions: StanHeaders, inline, rstan
failing sanity check for 'StanHeaders' extension: command "R -q --no-save" 
(stdin: "library(StanHeaders)") failed; output:
  > library(StanHeaders)
  Error in library(StanHeaders) : there is no package calle

The problem seems to be that the packages are installed successfully under

  /trinity/shared/easybuild/software/R/3.5.1-foss-2018b-zedat_extras

but because this directory is not in the library path, the default R
sanity check of loading the packages fails.

What I am missing?

Cheers,

Loris
