We're bumbling through making some R code work in a production environment and as part of that we're installing some R packages as follows:
# Default directories and mirrors
WORKING_DIR <- "/srv/foo/bar/baz"
LIB_DIR <- paste( WORKING_DIR, "libs", sep="/" )
setwd(WORKING_DIR)
stringi.loc <- paste( WORKING_DIR, "stringi_0.4-1.tar.gz", sep="/" )
This might not be the most elegant way of installing R packages but it seems to work okay for us (any other tips on R package management would be welcome but a bit late at this stage :).
However, the stringi package seems to depend on the icu52l package, which it installs the over the network:

How can we tell it to look for the local copy? The output handily includes the remote location (http://static.rexamine.com/packages/icudt52l.zip) so we can just put it somewhere ourselves but are unsure where.
Maybe we're going about this completely the wrong way but any help or pointers would be welcome.
We're on ubuntu machines and have also tried install libicu42 and libicu-dev but neither of those seemed to help.
回答1:
Note: for Stringi >= 0.5-1 please check the answer by @gagolews
From INSTALL file:
The stringi package depends on the ICU4C >= 50 library.
So libicu42 is far to old.
If you check install.R file you'll find following lines:
mirrors <- c("http://static.rexamine.com/packages/",
"http://www.mini.pw.edu.pl/~gagolews/stringi/",
"http://www.ibspan.waw.pl/~gagolews/stringi/")
A couple of lines later you'll find something like this:
if (!grepl("^https?://", href)) {
# try to copy icudt from a local repo
if (!file.exists(href)) return("no icudt in a local repo")
If you add local path at the beginning of the mirrors and put downloaded libraries it seems to work as expected. Here you can a patch I've used:
https://gist.github.com/zero323/338c8fb0faf46e5ac06d
So my solution would be to:
- clone the repostiory
- checkout version you want
- apply patch with a path to the local version of the ICU
- install package from source
There is probably a better way, but that is what I came up so far.
回答2:
This will be fixed in the upcoming 0.5-1 version of stringi, see this feature request.
An appropriate environmental variable (ICUDT_DIR) is now used by the ./configure script to indicate the directory from which a local copy of icudt should be fetched. It can be provided for example via a call to:
install.packages("stringi_0.5-1.zip", # assuming that we install from a downloaded archive
configure.vars="ICUDT_DIR=<dir_to_copy_icudt_from>")
回答3:
I had the same problem. What I did is similar to the solution proposed by gagolews. Gagolews' solution didn't exactly work for me because I couldn't find a zip copy of stringi to download. I downloaded icudt from http://static.rexamine.com/packages/icudt52l.zip to a folder, say /home/tmp/ then I installed from the net, but providing the local copy of icudt, by typing the following in R:
install.packages("stringi", # this will install from online
configure.vars="ICUDT_DIR=/home/tmp/") #but use the downloaded version of icudt
This worked for me.
回答4:
- Clone the
git clone https://github.com/gagolews/stringi.git. - Edit the
.Rbuildignorefile and get rid of the^src/icu55/dataline. - Run
R CMD build stringi_dir_nameto build tar.gz file. - Install the obtained
.tar.gzfile on your machine(s), e.g., viainstall.packages("stringi_xxx.tar.gz")
回答5:
This work with R-3.2.3 in Linux Mint 17.2. 1. Install 'libicu-dev' from Software Manager. 2. in R : install.packages('stringi')
For further information, try to read this instruction: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/stringi/INSTALL
