Alternative Linux builds

Post date: Jul 23, 2018 3:04:14 PM

The R-INLA package comes with Linux binaries built on Ubuntu1604. There are some alternative Linux builds available at

http://inla.r-inla-download.org/Linux-builds/

You can install one of these, by replacing the directory '64bit' at

> dirname(INLA:::inla.call.builtin())

which gives for me

[1] "/home/hrue/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/3.5/INLA/bin/linux/64bit"

with the one you download. Alternatively, you can store it somewhere else and set variables 'inla.call' and 'fmesher.call', using 'inla.setOption', to the full path to 'inla.run' and 'fmesher.run' in that directory.

Static builds are available, doing

INLA:::inla.dynload.workaround()

The static build is without 'rgeneric' support and is also built on Ubuntu1604.
