Unable to install npci package

[neko2048]

Hi, there!

First, thanks for sharing the package for us!
I would have this package to have several simulations for IHDP. But when I was trying to install this package, it gave me the error message below:

* installing *source* package ‘npci’ ...
** using staged installation
** libs

make: *** [npci.so] Error 1
ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘npci’

I have tried many ways like searching the problem, changing R version to 3.1.1, and even switching from Windows to MacOS to solve this issue but all failed.
Would you have any suggestion for this?

Thanks a lot!

I had the same issue!

Changing the content of src/MakeVars to the following fixed it for me:

PKG_LIBS=$(LAPACK_LIBS) $(BLAS_LIBS) $(FLIBS)

Thanks for pointing this out, and sorry that I missed this earlier. I'm a little baffled that anyone is using this repo since I've never published anything on it or made an official release.

I've corrected the Makefile to point to the correct library. If this doesn't fix it, make sure that gfortran is installed.

Why when I use install.packages("npci") to install npci package, it reports: Warning in install.packages:
package ‘npci’ is not available for this version of R
A version of this package for your version of R might be available elsewhere,
see the ideas at
https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/R-admin.html#Installing-packages

This package was never submitted to CRAN. To install it, you can use remotes or devtools, or follow the instructions on the repo.
