Hi all, After googling around for a while, I found that this is a common problem, but still it is not clear to me how I should handle this.
I have a package A, with C++ code via Rcpp, that needs an external C++ library libB. I have a configure script that sets PKG_CPPFLAGS=-I/path/to/B/include PKG_LIBS=-L/path/to/B/lib -lB in src/Makevars. Compilation and linking seem to go just fine. But then, ** testing if installed package can be loaded Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : unable to load shared object '/home/xxx/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/3.3/A/libs/A.so': libB.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory If I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/B/lib, the error above is solved and the package is installed. But then I try to load the package with library(A), with LD_LIBRARY_PATH still set, and the same error reappears. So what is the proper and more portable way of linking a external library in a non-standard location?
