Further maintenance and support for this package has been moved there. You can install pre-built packages from my repo

Yeah it's not working again, but it does if I change the shebang in configure to #!/bin/bash.

I filed an issue upstream, but was not able to narrow it down to what is different on my system from all the tests the developer ran for me. Any ideas here?

@japhir can confirm a similar issue is present even 6 mo later.

I.e. with /usr/bin/sh -> /usr/bin/dash, nlopt threw the same error reported last year ("unable to find pkg-config"). Changing it to /usr/bin/sh -> /usr/bin/bash fixes the issue...

So it looks like it's an issue with the package. Since this also occurred with another package, I posted about it to CRAN's R-devel list

dviktor commented on 2020-11-05 10:01 (UTC)

Could you please check where /bin/sh points to?

japhir commented on 2020-11-05 09:08 (UTC)

The default shell is bash, but I installed dash for speed increases and it seems that some of these R packages use non-POSIX-compliant bashisms in their #! /bin/sh scripts

dviktor commented on 2020-11-05 09:04 (UTC)

What is the default shell for your system?

I had a similar issue with installing ncdf4 recently, it seems that there's a bashism in the configure file. Changing the top line to #! /usr/bin/bash (or simply #! /bin/bash fixes the issue for me!

Probably because at some point I decided to use dash as a shell?

Very strange, I'm able to build it on my machine even without clean chroot. @japhir, look once more through your log - something wrong with ./configure step. This is the output of my build:

And in your output I see the following lines:

...
./configure: 2974: test: x: unexpected operator
...
configure: Now testing for NLopt version 2.4.0 or greater.
./configure: 3272: test: xyes: unexpected operator
configure: WARNING: Could not test version of NLopt because pkg-config is not installed. Make sure the version number of NLopt is 2.4.0 or greater. Otherwise nloptr can not be used.
...

Try to sort out these issues first and build once again
