[R-pkg-devel] Problem with V8 on CRAN Debian

Dear R community,

in an effort to re-submit one of my packages (thurstonianIRT) to CRAN
because of some test failures after updates of other packages, I get the
following error from the CRAN debian installation, which I don't know how
to address:

* installing *source* package ?thurstonianIRT? ...
** using staged installation
** libs
"/home/hornik/tmp/R/bin/Rscript" -e "source(file.path('..', 'tools',
'make_cc.R')); make_cc(commandArgs(TRUE))"
stan_files/thurstonian_irt_model.stan
Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :
   unable to load shared object
?/home/hornik/lib/R/Library/4.1/x86_64-linux-gnu/V8/libs/V8.so?:
   libnode.so.64: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Calls: make_cc ... asNamespace -> loadNamespace -> library.dynam -> dyn.load
Execution halted
make: *** [Makevars:17: stan_files/thurstonian_irt_model.cc] Error 1
ERROR: compilation failed for package ?thurstonianIRT?
* removing ?/srv/hornik/tmp/CRAN/thurstonianIRT.Rcheck/thurstonianIRT?


It seems to be a problem with the V8 package (on which the latest version
of rstan depends) but I don't know if I can fix it from my side.

Many thanks for your advice
Paul
