Error after deploying shiny app (R version 3.5)

Hello,

I deployed my shiny app successfully from RStudio (using R version 3.5) to shinyapps.io:

rsconnect::deployApp()
Preparing to deploy application...DONE
Uploading bundle for application: 381498...DONE
Deploying bundle: 1481380 for application: 381498 ...

  deploying: Starting instances
  unstaging: Stopping old instances
Application successfully deployed to https://....shinyapps.io/appname

However, when trying to start the application, I receive the following error message:

Error in value[[3L]](cond) : 
  package or namespace load failed for ‘clusterProfiler’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...):
 unable to load shared object '/opt/R/3.5.0/lib/R/library/units/libs/units.so':
  libudunits2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Calls: local ... tryCatch -> tryCatchList -> tryCatchOne -> <Anonymous>

It seems like a problem with the Bioconductor package "clusterProfiler". I tried removing the package and re-installing from the Bioconductor website Link, however, that did not resolve the issue.

I would appreciate any help on this issue and please let me know if I can provide further information.

Thank you,

It would appear that the package clusterProfiler has a dependency upon the system package libudunits2-dev.

You should be able to work around this by add library(udunits2) to your code.

Thank you very much, Josh! That resolved my issue perfectly.

Best,
