rcppredis issues when deploying a Shinyapp about rcppredis

[eddelbuettel]

Can you help me help you by

• learning to format the above, see eg https://help.github.com/articles/creating-and-highlighting-code-blocks/ and related sections
• have a reproducible example

We have a number of shiny apps at work that work just fine with RcppRedis. Debugging is not always easy or fun, but it works. I did move one to shinyapps.io years ago as well, I don't think it used RcppRedis as it could not have reached our internal-to-firewall server though...

Now, after I made your post actually readable, it became pretty clear:

checking for hiredis/hiredis.h... no
configure: WARNING: Hiredis headers not found with via default CXXFLAGS and CPPFLAGS, trying /usr/local/include
configure: WARNING: Unsetting ac_cv_header_hiredis_hiredis_h
checking hiredis/hiredis.h usability... no
checking hiredis/hiredis.h presence... no
checking for hiredis/hiredis.h... no
configure: error: ERROR: hiredis headers required; use '-Iincludedir' in CXXFLAGS for unusual locations.
ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘RcppRedis’

You have a configuration as RcppRedis needs the hiredis library.

That is clearly documented, so I close this issue. You have a problem with shinyapps.io where you need to figure out how to use non-CRAN dependencies.
