Where is the udunits library installed?
tools stampede r modules

I am new to using modules. But, how can specify a path required to compile a program?

I think that I need to figure out where the module udunits/2.1.24 is installed but I am not finding any paths from module spider, module whatis

When I try to install the R package "udunits2":


$ module load module load gsl hdf5 parallel-netcdf/4.2.1.1 netcdf nco udunits/2.1.24 R_mkl/3.0.1
$ R
> install.packages("udunits2")

I get the following error:


checking for unistd.h... yes
checking udunits2.h usability... no
checking udunits2.h presence... no
checking for udunits2.h... no
checking for ut_read_xml in -ludunits2... no
-----Error: libununits2.a not found-----
If the udunits2 library is installed in a non-standard location,
use --configure-args='--with-udunits2=/usr/local/lib' for example,
or --configure-args='--with-udunits2-include=/usr/include/udunits2'
replacing paths with appropriate values for your installation.
If udunits2 is not installed, please install it.
It is required for this package.
ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘udunits2’


so, the solution is to specify the path like install.packages("udunits2", configure.args='--with-udunits2-include=/path/to/udunits2/' )

But Is there a bettter way to find this than $ find / -name libununits2 2> /dev/null ?

David,

I typically just use the "module show" command. For example:

module show module udunits/2.1.24

This will list all of the environment variables that are changed by the module. This includes the PATH variable which will tell you where the software is installed.

Does that answer your question?

Thanks! this is what works:

install.packages("udunits2", configure.args='--with-udunits2=/opt/apps/intel13/udunits/2.1.24/ --with-udunits2-include=/opt/apps/intel13/udunits/2.1.24/include')
