Check in the log why they failed to install.

Yeah, xml2 does not compile, I am not sure why.

In any case, this container is somewhat old, so let me try to update it.

@TNonet your issue is the same as #448 I think, and it is indeed a bug.

The sysreqs field has to match the `SystemRequirements` field in the R package you want to use this for. Is that nloptr? It does not seem to have a `SystemRequirements`...

Yeah, hard coding the platform names in these helper functions was not a good idea. Considering the CentOS 7 EOL is 2024 and CentOS 8 EOL is 2021, it indeed...

The units package seems to work on CRAN's Solaris, so they probably have the system requirements installed. We'll look into that on our Solaris server as well.

@loreabad6 The udunits does not compile on Solaris, so it is unlikely that there will be any progress.

@loreabad6 Managed to package up udunits for Solaris, so the units package installs now. There is still no recent enough gdal, though, that would allow installing rgdal or sf.

Managed to compile a newer libgeos and libgdal, so sf and co. now works on R-hub's Solaris machine.
