Hi -
I am not sure if this is the right place for this question. I am fairly new
to R and still figuring out how to best manage packages. If this is not the
best venue for this question, please direct me elsewhere.

It will do, but 'the homebrew version of R' is not anything official and you would probably do better to ask on R-devel since you are treating OS X as another Unix-alike.

The package has a broken configure, and has been reported to the so-called maintainer long ago.

You omitted the line with the error. On my (native OS X) system you can see the log at http://www.r-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-devel-macosx-x86_64/ncdf4-00install.html . Note the link command there:

clang -mtune=native -dynamiclib -Wl,-headerpad_max_install_names -undefined dynamic_lookup -single_module -multiply_defined suppress -L/usr/local/lib -o ncdf4.so ncdf.o ncdf2.o ncdf3.o src_ncdf4.o -Wl,-rpath, -L/usr/local/lib -lnetcdf -lhdf5_hl -lhdf5 -lm -lz -lcurl -L/Users/ripley/R/R-devel/lib -lR -dylib_file libRblas.dylib:/Users/ripley/R/R-devel/lib/libRblas.dylib -Wl,-framework -Wl,CoreFoundation

The use of -Wl,-rpath, is simply wrong and swallows -lnetcdf. So you need to correct it.

One way to do so is to unpack the sources, try to install, copy the PKG_LIBS from src/Makevars to src/Makevars.in, correct it and try again.

I have in src/Makevars.in

PKG_LIBS= -L/usr/local/lib -lnetcdf -lhdf5_hl -lhdf5 -lm -lz -lcurl

but your mileage may differ (and probably will if you have a dynamic libndetcdf).



I am trying to install the ncdf4 R package using:

install.packages('ncdf4')

This command, downloads the package, finds nc-config, appears to collect
all the correct settings, and appears to compile ncdf4 with no errors. But
after compiling, and running a few tests, the command fails during a test
to load the just-compiled ncdf4 libraries:

install.packages('ncdf4')
...
skipping lots of output for downloading, nc-config, configuring, compiling,
testing...
...
** testing if installed package can be loaded
Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :

I am on a Mac, 10.8.2. I am using Homebrew to manage my packages. I have
the main netcdf library, 4.2.1.1,  that is installed via Homebrew and has
been working fine in several other applications. Likewise I am using a
Homebrew version of R.

I am not sure how to keep trouble shooting this. I can provide more output
if necessary.
Thanks,
