I would like to install Rhdf5lib package in R and error occurs in the installation process which is shown below. I have googled it and there is just one page with same question with no answer. I don’t know what to do to make it install because I need that for installing another tool. I would appreciate if you could help me find the problem.
The error part of the output is provided below:

The error message is a bit misleading as it's just saying it can't copy
libhdf5_cpp.aas it doesn't exist. This is because the compilation failed, and the real question is why the compilation failed. This may well be different for you compared to any other reports with the same final error.Can you provide the complete output from the installation? I find the easiest way to do this is to install the package at the command line and capturing the output e.g.
You can then paste the contents of
install.logto somewhere like https://www.pastebin.org and you wont have to worry about the character limits on this forum.It's also striking that the only other instance I can find on this error is here where they are also running on computecanada.ca infrastructure. It might be worth checking with your system administrators if there's something unusual in the version of libc installed there.
Dear Mike, Thanks for your reply. I pasted the output of the installation in this link. https://pastebin.com/EeJyJudR
This is pretty hard to debug without access to the same system. I'm unable to replicate this after a few tries.
I think it's concerning that during the configure step the linker is reported as
/cvmfs/soft.computecanada.ca/nix/var/nix/profiles/16.09/bin/ldbut then during the build you get warnings like:/cvmfs/soft.computecanada.ca/nix/store/xs99yskj0vhrf6cmn2048i870r8nzqm0-binutils-2.28/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libdl.so when searching for -ldlThese are clearly not the same, and the 'skipping incompatible' warnings are often the result of trying to link 32-bit and 64-bit objects. I'm not sure if this is another symptom of a slightly broken setup, or unrelated, but it's another unusual symptom.
If you want to isolate the compilation of hdf5 from the package you can try using the commands below. This should replicate whats going on inside the package, but may be easier to tweak settings to see if anything works for you.
Thanks Mike. I already tried to install them independently but still there are some errors. Actually I don't know what was the problem with installing rhdf5 R package, but I changed my R version from 3.6 to 3.5 and the problem is solved. The rhdf5 and Rhdf5lib packages and also my tool are installed successfully.
