macglm library load issue (GLMr v3.1.10)

[colin-a-smith]

I'm attempting to use GLMr (v 3.1.10) on OS X El Capitan (v 10.11.1) and receive the following error when evaluating run_glm(...):

dyld: Library not loaded: libifcore.dylib
Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.2/Resources/library/GLMr/exec/macglm
Reason: image not found
[1] 5

I've tried pointing 'DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH' and 'DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH' to the .dylib files in */extbin/macGLM/bin/ via the terminal to no avail. Any help on this front is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Interesting. Internet says the libraries are being found, but they "can't be used". Vague.

@jread-usgs what OS X version are you on? We may need to figure out how to bundle libraries on OS X differently for v10.11.

I am still on Yosemite, and won't upgrade for a bit now. I think some others are on El C in the office that we can test on.

[lawinslow]

hmm, @hdugan, what OS X version you running these days?

[hdugan]

Tested it out with Colin yesterday. Mine's running fine on Yosemite.

Did anyone figure this issue out? I just upgraded to El Capitan (v.10.11.4) and had the same exact problem with GLMr libifcore.dylib libraries as @colin-a-smith did, with the same error messages in R (v.3.3.0). Any help would be super appreciated- thank you!

[lawinslow]

@cayelan Just to check, does the command-line GLM version (from here) work for you?

[jordansread]

We don't have a compiler for El Capitan, so I don't know if we can build GLM for that version of the OS.

[cayelan]

@jread-usgs argh, ok. @lawinslow I've only run GLM on my mac via R. It seems like this DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH problem is not specific to GLMr but also other applications on macs (Matlab, etc.), but there are no easy fixes.

[jordansread]

I am guessing it isn't a simple fix, but we'd love some help from others that might be willing to dig into it.

[cayelan]

Ok- I found a workaround to run GLMr in El Cap: if you disable SIP (System Integrity Protection), I had no problems with GLMr. See: oracle/node-oracledb#231. SIP prevents any of the DYLD_LIBRARY commands from working, explaining both my and @colin-a-smith's issues. I disabled SIP on two El Cap macs in my lab yesterday that previously weren't able to run GLMr and it worked successfully on both of them.

[jordansread]

Nice! 👍

@colin-a-smith does this fix work for you? Sounds like it should

[colin-a-smith]

Yes, that fixed worked for me. Thanks @cayelan !

[lawinslow]

Great, I'm going to close this issue then. If there are future issues, go ahead and reopen this issue

Hi all,

It seems that the issue is not fully resolved. I get the exact same problem with the error:
dyld: Library not loaded: libifcore.dylib

I have tried Cayelan's trick of disabling SIP on my El C. computer but I get the same response. I'm using the macglm 2.0.0. Any ideas/suggestions?

Many thanks for any help you can provide. Yves
