Unable to install MINOTAUR package

[fuzzyatelin]

Hello - I'm trying to install MINOTAUR in my Macbook Air in R 3.4.1 nested in RStudio 1.0.153. Just in case, I updated devtools and installed all the dependencies (as per the instructions for Windows users). I also have Xcode installed (8.2). Despite this, I keep encountering an error when testing if the installed package can be opened. Here's the output:

** testing if installed package can be loaded
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘MINOTAUR’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...):

Not sure what to do here... I'm not terribly savvy with the intricacies of failed package installation.

Thanks for any help or advice,

I am receiving the same error on my system. MacPro OSX 10.13.3 running R 3.4.3 in RStudio 1.1.383. Been a while since I've installed and this is a fresh system so must be some issue with a newer version of R.

Seems like a compilation error of the underlying C functions, which are way outside my area of expertise. Unfortunately, it removes the problematic file so I can't look at that to try to troubleshoot.

@bobverity or @caitiecollins will be most helpful and will hopefully have time to chime in soon.

Hi all,
Just did a fresh install on my machine and couldn't replicate the issue, so will need to dig a little deeper. However, I did hit another, different bug:

• creating vignettes ... ERROR
  Warning in engine$weave(file, quiet = quiet, encoding = enc) :
  Pandoc (>= 1.12.3) and/or pandoc-citeproc not available. Falling back to R Markdown v1.
  Quitting from lines 187-202 (MINOTAUR.Rmd)
  Error: processing vignette 'MINOTAUR.Rmd' failed with diagnostics:
  there is no package called 'rrcovNA'
  Execution halted

This one looks to be caused by an invalid function call in a vignette? Or maybe we need to add the rrcovNA package as a dependency? Once this one is fixed maybe I'll be able to replicate the original error. As you say Darren, the original error looks to be something to do with compiling the C++ functions.

(It always baffles me how you can leave a package working and after a few months it can suddenly stop!)
