I am trying to install CopywriteR, which failed at updating a dependent package RMySQL. The error I got was as follows:
------------------------- ANTICONF ERROR ---------------------------
Configuration failed because libmysqlclient was not found. Try installing:
* deb: libmariadb-client-lgpl-dev (Debian, Ubuntu 16.04)
libmariadbclient-dev (Ubuntu 14.04)
* rpm: mariadb-devel | mysql-devel (Fedora, CentOS, RHEL)
* csw: mysql56_dev (Solaris)
* brew: mariadb-connector-c (OSX)
If libmysqlclient is already installed, check that 'pkg-config' is in your
PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH contains a libmysqlclient.pc file. If pkg-config
is unavailable you can set INCLUDE_DIR and LIB_DIR manually via:
R CMD INSTALL --configure-vars='INCLUDE_DIR=... LIB_DIR=...'
--------------------------------------------------------------------
My question is: where can I specify --configure-vars='INCLUDE_DIR=... LIB_DIR=...'? I cannot do this at command line because RMySQL is installed through bioconductor. If I do
R CMD INSTALL --configure-vars='INCLUDE_DIR=/mydir/mariadb-connector-c' RMySQL
I will get:
--------------------------------------------------------
Warning: invalid package ‘RMySQL’
Error: ERROR: no packages specified
--------------------------------------------------------
Thanks in advance!
