无法编译RcppArmadillo

Question

RcppArmadillo是我试图安装的几个软件包的依赖项。在编译RcppArmadillo版本0.10.1.0.0时，我得到了这个错误(当R发现RcppArmadillo是dep时，它会自动从CRAN中提取)：

RcppArmadillo.cpp:26:40: error: redeclaration 'arma::arma_version::major' differs in 'constexpr'

这是在R3.6.0中的Singuarity容器中构建的，在CentOS 7上使用GCC 4.8.5构建。我可以使用devtools中的"install_version“命令安装RcppArmadillo的0.9.900.3.0版本(和这个版本以前与其他软件包完全兼容，这就是为什么我正在尝试安装)，但是，每当我安装的另一个软件包需要依赖时，R立即将其更新为0.10.1.0.0，这会导致上面的错误和我的构建失败。我一直无法找到阻止R这样做的方法，只是告诉它不要为某些软件包安装依赖关系，但这让我头疼，我想看看这里是否有一个更简单的解决方案。有人知道如何修复这个编译错误，或者如何防止R在安装另一个需要它的包时自动更新软件包吗？

下面是显示RcppArmadillo版本0.9.900.3.0成功安装后立即进行更新的输出部分：

这一点以前在GitHub回购、邮件列表或这里已经讨论过几次。

您最简单的选择是通过

install.packages("RcppArmadillo", repos="https://rcppcore.github.io/drat")

由于这不影响任何系统CRAN (或大多数用户)部署，因此可能不值得进行新的上载(以及所有相关的麻烦)。如果您在这方面有选择的话，您最好考虑从CentOS 7继续前进。
