Hi @gaborcsardi , I Don't know, if this issue is the right one but hope so.

I try to install ps 1.7.0 on FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT with R 4.2.0 and get the following error:

installing via 'install.libs.R' to /usr/home/rhurlin/R/library/00LOCK-ps/00new/ps
** R

** byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘ps’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...):
 unable to load shared object '/usr/home/rhurlin/R/library/00LOCK-ps/00new/ps/libs/ps.so':
  /usr/home/rhurlin/R/library/00LOCK-ps/00new/ps/libs/ps.so: Undefined symbol "psll_memory_uss"
Error: loading failed

ERROR: loading failed

Is there any chance to activate the FreeBSD specific code in ps? Please let me know, if I should give more info or test something.

Many thanks in advance, Rainer

There is no FreeBSD specific code in ps. The installation issue has been fixed already in this repo, but ps functions will not work on FreeBSD.

Oops, what's the reason for ps not working on FreeBSD?

With FreeBSD specific code I meant the commented-out lines in configure and src/api-common.c.

Thanks for your quick reply.

ps never had a FreeBSD implementetion.

Hi Gábor, what about FreeBSD support? See this PR: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=280006

PRs are welcome for freebsd. :)

Seems like this is not happening any time soon, so I am going to close it.
