I'm getting a gccerror while trying to install several R packages for example devtools and plyr give the same errors.
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-fstack-protector-strong'
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-Wdate-time'
/usr/lib/R/etc/Makeconf:132: recipe for target 'devtools.o' failed
I'm using ubuntu 16.04 and R: 3.3.2. I had a working version of R but there were issues with some libraries, so I did:
apt-get remove r-base-core and followed this to re-install
It would be great to get a set of instructions to re-install R if needed and fix the gcc error.
BTW: I also had an anaconda version, that I've removed.
EDIT:
$ gcc --version

I'm having trouble installing R from a homebrew formula on our Intel garbage can mac pro at work. I was having trouble installing tidyverse from source code so I removed and have been attempting to reinstalling R, as I thought it might have been a version mismatch somewhere.
I used
brew install R
and after a bunch of output where it's downloading other packages, I get back the following
==> Installing dependencies for r: libpng, freetype, fontconfig, gettext, libffi, pcre, glib, pkg-config, libpthread-stubs, xorgproto, libxau, libxdmcp, libxcb, libx11, libxext, libxrender, lzo, pixman, cairo, gmp, isl, mpfr, libmpc, lz4, xz, zstd, gcc, jpeg-turbo, openblas, pcre2, readline, ca-certificates, openssl#1.1 and tcl-tk

I think it tries to use an old version of git at /usr/bin/git, but you need to run brew install git to install a newer version of git to /usr/local/bin/git.
If /usr/local/bin/ isn't on your PATH before /usr/bin/, then you can add a line like this to ~/.bash_profile:
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
However /usr/local/bin is included in /etc/paths by default, so it should be added to PATH by programs that run path_helper (like Terminal and iTerm 2 but not Script Editor or Emacs.app).
When installing rJava using the install.packages("rJava") command I get the following error:

I have the Java JDK installed and java -version returns the following:
$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_20"

When Googling around for the error I see that others are having the same issue but not finding a solution other than "install the whole JDK, not just the JRE" which I have done.
The other thing I read was to run sudo R CMD javareconf which runs quite happily with no errors.
Any ideas what my problem is?
[[EDIT]]
It's been a few months since I had this problem. I had initially solved this by editing my Java paths, as illustrated in the answer I posted below. I recently ran into the same issue on a new Ubuntu install. I tried Dirk's recommendation to use apt-get to install the rJava package. It worked perfectly. What I failed to appreciate initially is that installing packages using the Ubuntu apt-get method is fundamentally different than just loading the same package using install.packages() inside of R. The Ubuntu packages solve some issues which I didn't realize or appreciate.
Wouldn't
apt-get install r-cran-rjava
have been easier? You could have asked me at useR! :)
Turns out my problem was an issue with my JAVA_HOME environment variable. Yes, shocking I know. My initial setting for PATH and JAVA_HOME looked like this:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
And I added /jre so it now looks like this:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
Everything in Java seemed to work fine without the /jre but rJava would not. Odd.
That is how I make it work :
In Linux (Ubuntu 16.04 and 20.04 worked confirmed)
sudo apt-get install default-jre
sudo apt-get install default-jdk
sudo R CMD javareconf
in R:
install.packages("rJava")
Thanks - your suggestion about $JAVA_HOME lead me to a similar solution:
unset JAVA_HOME
before invoking R.
I came across the same issue, and it worked after running commands below.
export JAVA_LIBS="$JAVA_LIBS -ldl"
R CMD javareconf
See details at
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSPT3X_3.0.0/com.ibm.swg.im.infosphere.biginsights.install.doc/doc/install_install_r.html
This worked for me on Ubuntu 12.04 and R version 3.0
cd /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.26/include
this is the directory that has jni.h
Next create a soft link to another required header file (I'm too lazy to find out how to include more than one directory in the JAVA_CPPFLAGS option below):
sudo ln -s linux/jni_md.h .
Finally
sudo R CMD javareconf JAVA_CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.26/include
below is one of my answers on another post - error: unable to load installed packages just now
(this is also relevant to this question)
For Linux(Ubuntu) users: If you have oracle-java (7/8) installed. It'll be at this location /usr/lib/jvm and sudo access is required.

/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre/lib/amd64/server
(Replace java-8-oracle with java-7-oracle depending on your java version)
Then:
sudo ldconfig

I tried to install openjdk-7-* but still I had problems installing rJava. Turns out after I restarted my computer, then there was no problem at all.
so
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-*
RESTART after installing java, then try to install package "rJava" in R
The rJava package looks for the /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/ folder. But it's not available as default. This folder have a symlink for the default java configured for the system.
To activate the default java install the following packages:
sudo apt-get install default-jre default-jre-headless
Tested on ubuntu 17.04 with CRAN R 3.4.1
What worked for me was changing JAVA_HOME from file /usr/lib/R/etc/javaconf
I first checked what was my version of Java enabled : sudo update-alternatives --config java.
In my case, it was java-8-oracle
I opened the file /usr/lib/R/etc/javaconf and replaced default-java by java-8-oracle :
${JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java}
replaced by :
${JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle}
And then sudo R CMD javareconf
I restarted RStudio, and could then install rJava.
what I do is here:
in /etc/apt/sources.list, add:
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sid main
Note:the rjava should be latest version
2 run:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install r-cran-rjava
Once update the old version of rjava, then can install rhdfs_1.0.8.
I got it working by downloading : https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/rJava_0.9-8.tar.gz and running command R CMD install rJava_0.9-8.tar.gz
I was facing the same problem while using Windows 10. I have solved the problem using the following procedure
Download Java from https://java.com/en/download/windows-64bit.jsp for 64-bit windows\Install it
Download Java development kit from https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html for 64-bit windows\Install it
Then right click on “This PC” icon in desktop\Properties\Advanced system settings\Advanced\Environment Variables\Under System variables select Path\Click Edit\Click on New\Copy and paste paths “C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_201\bin” and “C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_201\bin” (without quote) \OK\OK\OK
Note: jdk1.8.0_201 and jre1.8.0_201 will be changed depending on the version of Java development kit and Java
In Environment Variables window go to User variables for User\Click on New\Put Variable name as “JAVA_HOME” and Variable value as “C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_201\bin”\Press OK
To check the installation, open CMD\Type javac\Press Enter and
Type java\press enter
It will show
In RStudio run
Sys.setenv(JAVA_HOME="C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.8.0_201")
Note: jdk1.8.0_201 will be changed depending on the version of Java development kit
Now you can install and load rJava package without any problem.
The problem was rJava wont install in RStudio (Version 1.0.136). The following worked for me (macOS Sierra version 10.12.6) (found here):
Step-1: Download and install javaforosx.dmg from here
Step-2: Next, run the command from inside RStudio:
install.packages("rJava", type = 'source')
On Arch Linux, I needed to install openjdk-src to get a JNI path working.
In other words, these are the packages I needed to install before sudo R CMD javareconf ran successfully:
local/jdk-openjdk 14.0.2.u12-1
OpenJDK Java 14 development kit
local/jre-openjdk 14.0.2.u12-1
OpenJDK Java 14 full runtime environment
local/jre-openjdk-headless 14.0.2.u12-1
OpenJDK Java 14 headless runtime environment
local/openjdk-src 14.0.2.u12-1
OpenJDK Java 14 sources

I've encountered similar problem on Ubuntu 16.04 and was able to solve it by creating a folder named "default-java" in /usr/lib/jvm and copying into it all the contents of the /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle. I opted for this solution as correcting JAVA_HOME environment variable turned out to be of no use.
I am using R 3.3.3 on raspbian. I'm trying to install packages, and most have worked with no problem. However, when I try to install lubridate it fails and I get an extensive error message. The following part caught my attention:
#error This file requires compiler and library support for the ISO C++ 2011 standard. This support is currently experimental, and must be enabled with the -std=c++11 or -std=gnu++11 compiler options.
I haven't been able to find how to add these compiler options. Any ideas/support would be appreciated.
The solution was to update the compiler by running sudo apt-get install g++
Installing statnet on mac 10.10.3 with R 3.2.x (RStudio 0.99.441).

I tried updating XCode/Command Line Tools. Also tried not installing dependencies. I have been able to install other packages, such as ergm and sna.
It looks like the install is looking for the GCC folder and not finding it.
whereis gcc
reveals that my gcc is in /usr/bin/gcc
It looks like the install is looking for it in /usr/local/lib/gcc/
Is there a way to fix this?
This is a compilation error that you only get if you are trying to install packages from source, or when a package requires a library to be compiled from source. Normally, if you don’t use the latest version of R, you can install statnet from binary and thus R won’t have to compile the source package.
The version you are mentioning at the beginning of your message (0.99.441) is the version of your R-Studio, and not R. The version of your R is 3.2.x (Hence its address in the Library folder: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.2/Resources…). Before trying to fix the compilation error you may want to try to roll back your R to a version like 3.1.2 or 3.1.3 on which you can probably download and install statnet in binary format.
For the compiler, my guess is that even if you fix the address of your gcc with a symlink, you will still get an error about gfortran or the version of gcc. Once I solved this issue by installing R and the right version of gcc through Homebrew, but right now I don’t have the possibility to try the solution and tell you exactly how.
My experience (on Yosemite) is that if you use 3.1.2 or 3.1.3, even if there is need for compilation, the error with gcc won’t occur.
sudo mkdir /usr/bin/lib && sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/lib/gcc
Creates a new directory in /usr/bin called `lib' and creates a symbolic link to gcc in that new directory.
If that doesn't fix the error, you can undo it with:
sudo rm -i /usr/bin/lib/gcc && sudo rm -id /usr/bin/lib
When installing rJava using the install.packages("rJava") command I get the following error:
