[R-pkg-devel] package submission errors gsl

Hi, 
I'm trying to submit my first package to cran. I got an email saying that my package does not pass the incoming checks automatically. 
In fact I got 1 ERROR which is related to the RcppGSL package that I use in my package. 
The relevant problem is: 

Flavor: r-devel-windows-ix86+x86_64 
Check: whether package can be installed, Result: ERROR 
Installation failed. 

Flavor: r-devel-linux-x86_64-debian-gcc 
Check: whether package can be installed, Result: ERROR 
Installation failed. 

and for each platform I got the following error: 

g++-8: error: /usr/local/lib/libgsl.a: No such file or directory 

g++.exe: error: /usr/local/lib/libgsl.a: No such file or directory 

I add the script ./src/Makevars to precise the path of the gsl libraries and headers, it works without error on my MacBook. 
my Makevars file: 
CXX=clang++ 
PKG_CPPFLAGS = -I/usr/local/include/gsl 
PKG_LIBS = $(GSL_LIBS) $(BLAS_LIBS) $(FLIBS) /usr/local/lib/libgsl.a 

I think I have to make a configure script looking for gsl. After the web searching I haven't find any article that explains how to do that. I am hoping you can help. 

Thanks a lot, 

Halaleh

Don't specify the compiler in the package's Makevars file.
RcppGSL's intro vignette documents how to link to it. Also there are
others packages on CRAN linking to it (RcppZiggurat, for example), so
you can inspect what they do.
