Installing Rglpk on linux

Question

I am trying to install Rglpk using the install.packages command. I am getting this error : /bin/sh: line 0: cd: GLPK: No such file or directory make: *** [GLPK.ts] Error 1

Answer 1

My experience was the following as a sudoer:

1. install GLPK package: see https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/GLPK/Linux_OS

2. install Rglpk:

# install devtools package beforehand. Or, you can download the Rglpk package manually, and then install in R.

# note that the latest version of Rglpk does not work on my Redhat system. Instead, the version 0.6-0 works perfectly.

devtools::install_url("https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/Rglpk/Rglpk_0.6-0.tar.gz")

Testing: in R, try require(Rgplk)
