v8 on Centos 8 requires extra steps

Open slopp opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

the current v8 rules only apply to centos 6 and 7

unfortunately it appears v8 is not supported in the centos 8 epel release

http://www.lib4dev.in/info/jeroen/V8/27154014 contains instructions for workarounds

Instructions from the link above for CentOS 8:

yum install epel-release 
yum module enable nodejs:13
yum install v8-devel

As an alternative solution on x86_64 systems you can use:

Sys.setenv(DOWNLOAD_STATIC_LIBV8 = 1)
install.packages("V8")
