GLPK: No such file or directory error when trying to install R package

Question

I am trying to install sparkTable in R 3.1.0 which depends on Rglpk. I manually installed GPLK on the system and added the libs folder to LD_

Answer 1

It worked for me when I combined the answers from Simón Ramírez Amaya and shadowleaves:

wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glpk/glpk-4.54.tar.gz
tar xfzv glpk-4.54.tar.gz
mkdir GLPK
cd glpk-4.54
./configure --prefix=$HOME/GLPK
make
make install
cd ..
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/GLPK/lib
export LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/GLPK/lib
export CPATH=$HOME/GLPK/include
wget https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Rglpk_0.6-4.tar.gz
R CMD INSTALL Rglpk_0.6-4.tar.gz

To load the library

dyn.load(file.path(Sys.getenv("HOME"), "GLPK", "lib", "libglpk.so"))
library(Rglpk)
