title: Installing R `forecast` package on a Linux Cluster: compiler issues?
body: <p>I am looking to test performance of <code>R</code>, more specifically some routines in the <code>forecast</code> package on an HPC cluster with Intel Xeon Phi co-processors.  The sysadmin has, I understand, built <code>R/3.2.5</code> from source following the instructions on Intel's website: <a href="https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/build-r-301-with-intel-c-compiler-and-intel-mkl-on-linux" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/build-r-301-with-intel-c-compiler-and-intel-mkl-on-linux</a></p>
  
  <p>So <code>R</code> works, installation of packages including <code>devtools</code>, <code>data.table</code>, <code>dplyr</code>, <code>ggplot2</code>, <code>Rcpp</code>, <code>RcppArmadillo</code> can be carried out from within an <code>R</code> session using <code>install.packages</code> to install to a local user-specific library.  The reason I mention these packages is that they all require some form of compilation, hence I was required to include the line <code>module load intel/15.2.164</code> in my <code>.bashrc</code> file to get the compiler loaded.</p>
  
  <p>However when I come to install the <code>forecast</code> package I have a failure.  There is a long stream of text output (see below) however in summary it appears as if something related to the compiler is failing:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/gpfs/stfc/local/apps/intel/intel_cs/2015.2.164/composer_xe_2015.2.164/compiler/include/complex(115): error #308: member "std::complex&lt;float&gt;::_M_value" (declared at line 1157 of "/usr/include/c++/4.4.7/complex") is inaccessible
            return __x._M_value + __y._M_value;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm afraid I understand very little about compiling software and administering/installing: these problems have never occurred for me previously on my Mac or the university Linux cluster.</p>

  <p>It appears as if there is little documentation out there about <code>R</code> and the Xeon Phi co-processor and a single question on StackOverflow which remains unanswered:  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35635037/r-parallel-processing-with-xeon-phi-minimal-code-changes?noredirect=1#comment60804799_35635037">R Parallel Processing with Xeon Phi, minimal code changes?</a></p>
  
  <p>I'd be very grateful if anyone can point me in the right direction here. Many thanks.</p>
