Subject: [R] data.table does not find openmp support
?
On my Intel Mac, with R 4.4, data.table worked with openmp support.
After installing R 4.5, I reinstalled data.table using
install.packages("data.table"). Installation went smoothly, but
data.table did not detect openmp support. I removed data.table, then
reinstalled using install.packages("data.table", type = "source"). Now
data.table install has non-zero exit status.
Following instructions at https://mac.r-project.org/openmp/, I installed
Open MP support by running on command line
curl -O https://mac.r-project.org/openmp/openmp-17.0.6-darwin20-Release.tar.gz
sudo tar fvxz openmp-17.0.6-darwin20-Release.tar.gz -C /
