Peter,
In install.libs(), there is no argument for setting location where boost or other packages are installed. How can I select a different directory to install boost using install.libs()?
Thanks,
Naresh

I use MacPorts package manager to install most software. For R, I switched to manual install because, with MacPorts data.table could not pick up openmp support.
Using uppercase J as suggested by Rodney successfully downloaded boost on my computer. But it cannot install. Below are first few lines of messages:
install.packages("RQuantLib", lib = .libPaths()[2], repos = "https://cran.r-project.org", type = "source", configure.args = c("--with-boost-include=/opt/local/libexec/boost/1.76/include/"), configure.vars = c("CPPFLAGS='-DQL_HIGH_RESOLUTION_DATE'"))

Oddly, this doesn't happen here, even though I also tar xj instead of xJ ot the .xz file.
Any chance you two could be picking up a different tar? I am seeing
PeterDaardsiMac:ISwR pd$ which tar
/usr/bin/tar
PeterDaardsiMac:ISwR pd$ tar --version
bsdtar 3.5.3 - libarchive 3.5.3 zlib/1.2.12 liblzma/5.4.3 bz2lib/1.0.8
and "man tar" claims that j and J options are "c mode only" so presumably ignored and tar gets the compression type from the input itself.

Hi Naresh:
I?m seeing the same error message. And it makes sense
because the boost tar-ball is compressed with xz and
not bzip2. On line 87 of install.R, we have the following?
if (system(paste("curl", "-sSL", shQuote(u), "|", "tar fxj - -C /")) < 0)
Little j means bzip2 while big J is xz. So try substituting?
if (system(paste("curl", "-sSL", shQuote(u), "|", "tar fxJ - -C /")) < 0)
