Installing rJava - ld: library not found for -lomp clang-4.0: error: linker command failed with exit code 1

I've been trying to troubleshoot installation of rJava in R (3.4.2) on my Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6. I've followed the advice I've found about OpenMP issues (http://thecoatlessprofessor.com/programming/openmp-in-r-on-os-x/). The error I'm getting now, though, identifies the library not found as '-lomp' instead of '-fopenmp.' I'm not sure how to proceed from here.

Here's what it looks like when it hits the error:

ld: library not found for -lomp
clang-4.0: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make[2]: *** [libjri.jnilib] Error 1
make[1]: *** [src/JRI.jar] Error 2

I had the same issue, and fixed it by creating a link to the library (libomp.dylib) in a directory where it can be found (/usr/local/lib/), as explained here.

Take a look here for full description of how to compile most recent Java inside OSX.

Note that you need clang with omp support - it is not available directly from Apple: http://www.owsiak.org/r-3-4-rjava-macos-and-even-more-mess/

You need to:

  • get clang from llvm page
  • configure R to use JDK of your choice
  • compile rJava from sources
