ERROR: dependency ‘thrust’ is not available for package ‘gpuRcuda’

but library thrust (libthrust-dev 1.8.1-1) is installed..

any ideas on how to fix?
Cheers

There currently isn't much functionality within this package at the moment. I've actually paused development on this at the moment as I am revisiting how to make gpuR use the CUDA backend where the user defines prior to install if they wish to use it. Otherwise it will default to using OpenCL. I will be notifying all issues here if/when I am successful.

Sooooo.... no way to fix this?

@jakekramer If you really have your heart set on installing this package you can get the thrust package from here using devtools. That said, I have suspended development on gpuRcuda. I am working on getting the CUDA port of gpuR set up and I am relatively close but I am stalled by an issue with the Eigen headers as noted in the issue here. It is with respect to the actual Eigen headers and not RcppEigen. I have been trying to contact the Eigen maintainers but have had lots of trouble getting a response.
