Error in irlba: object 'C_IRLB' not found

[vdebuen]

Hi

First of all, thank you for this great package!

With version 2.1.2 of package irlba I get the expected result for the attached sparse matrix

> packageVersion('irlba')
[1] '2.1.2'
> Xh <- readRDS('test_fail_irlba_C_IRLB_not_found.rds')
> SVD <- irlba(Xh,20)
> str(SVD)
List of 5
 $ d    : num [1:20] 9.6 8.65 8.53 7.25 6.92 ...
 $ u    : num [1:82, 1:20] 0.01995 0.01768 -0.00259 -0.03284 -0.12891 ...
 $ v    : num [1:90, 1:20] -0.0976 -0.1344 -0.1261 -0.1774 -0.0851 ...
 $ iter : int 6
 $ mprod: int 84

But with 2.3.3 it doesn't return anything and shows an intractable error message for me.

> packageVersion('irlba')
[1] '2.3.3'
> Xh <- readRDS('test_fail_irlba_C_IRLB_not_found.rds')
> SVD <- irlba(Xh,20)
Error in irlba(Xh, 20) : object 'C_IRLB' not found
> str(SVD)
Error in str(SVD) : object 'SVD' not found

Thanks in advance and best regards.

Thanks, investigating now.

I get:

library(irlba)
packageVersion('irlba')
## [1] ‘2.3.3’

Xh <- readRDS('test_fail_irlba_C_IRLB_not_found.rds')
SVD <- irlba(Xh,20)
str(SVD)

## List of 5
##  $ d    : num [1:20] 9.6 8.65 8.53 7.25 6.92 ...
##  $ u    : num [1:82, 1:20] -0.01995 -0.01768 0.00259 0.03284 0.12891 ...

Can you report your R.version output? Also, do things work for you with the current stable version on CRAN (2.3.2) -- I highly recommend sticking with the CRAN version instead of GitHub if possible.

Thank you for your quick response.

I wanted to try out the new version to calculate the smallest eigenvalues as well.

I'm going to try different versions of R on other linux machines I have access to.

[vdebuen]

It works fine in all combinations of linux 64 - R Version - irlba version which I've checked:

• With Linux-64 R version 3.3.2 (2016-10-31), irlba 2.3.3 works fine
• With Linux-64 R version 3.4.2 (2017-09-28), irlba 2.2.1 works fine
• With Linux-64 R version 3.4.2 (2017-09-28), irlba 2.3.3 works fine
• With Linux-64 R version 3.4.3 (2017-11-30), irlba 2.3.1 works fine
• With Linux-64 R version 3.4.3 (2017-11-30), irlba 2.3.3 works fine

[bwlewis]

FYI the smallest eigenvalue option is available in the stable version on CRAN. I'll try to reproduce on a windows machine. Unfortunately I don't have ready access to one -- but I can go through the winbuilder to run checks on the package at least.

Sorry but I don't view the "smallest" argument in CRAN version

> packageVersion('irlba')
 [1] ‘2.1.2’
> args('irlba')
 function (A, nv = 5, nu, maxit = 1000, work = nv + 7, reorth = TRUE, 
     tol = 0.00001, v = NULL, right_only = FALSE, verbose = FALSE, 
     scale, center, du, ds, dv, shift, mult, fastpath = TRUE) 

I forgot to mention that I have Microsoft R Open installed in Windows.

[bwlewis]

the current cran version is 2.3.2, see https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/irlba/index.html not sure why you've got such an old version?

Any update on this? Were you able to get things to work?

FYI a new release is pending, will be on CRAN soon...

[vdebuen]

Finally I updated R and all the packages and everything worked again without problems.
When the new version is ready I will try it without a doubt.
Thank you very much for your help and interest.
