chadwick_path: Check Chadwick installation

Description

Utility functions to help ensure that Chadwick is set up correctly.

The easiest way for the Chadwick CLI tools to work on *nix systems is to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. Unfortunately this environment variable is not set by default during the Chadwick installation.

chadwick_ld_library_path() checks to find the Chadwick shared libraries, and then set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. If chadwick_ld_library_path() returns TRUE, the cwevent command line program that retrosheet_data depends on should work.

The other functions documented here are mostly for internal use.

Usage

chadwick_path()
chadwick_is_installed()
chadwick_find_lib()
chadwick_set_ld_library_path()
chadwick_ld_library_path()

Value

If Chadwick is not installed NULL. If Chadwick is installed, the path to the cwevent binary.

TRUE or FALSE

Path to the Chadwick shared library.
