I'm trying to install NS2.35 on fedora 17 using allinone package.
I'm new to linux environment and have already spent many hours trying this. So far I've found out it is a problem with dependent packages. But I'm not able to figure out following error.
Please help.

ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘Rcplex’
I think your best course of action is to look into what exactly the configure script tries to run. Maybe it expects another version of CPLEX?
I experienced the same problem installing the Rcplex 0.3-3 package for R3.6.1 on Ubuntu 18.04 with CPLEX 12.9.
Turns out that the Rcplex package was developed and tested with CPLEX 12.6.3. When I installed this older version of CPLEX on Ubuntu, I was able to install Rcplex 0.3-3 by following the instructions in the INSTALL file.
On my system, this command did the trick:
sudo R CMD INSTALL --configure-args="PKG_CFLAGS=-fPIC PKG_CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/ibm/ILOG/CPLEX_Studio1263/cplex/include PKG_LIBS='-L/opt/ibm/ILOG/CPLEX_Studio1263/cplex/lib/x86-64_linux/static_pic -lcplex -lm -lpthread'" Rcplex_0.3-3.tar.gz
This appears to be an issue with the Linux version of Rcplex only. I was able to install Rcplex with the latest version of CPLEX on my Mac.
I am trying to install and older version of R (3.2.1), and am following the instructions on this page: https://www.miskatonic.org/2015/06/23/installing-r-from-source/
As suggested by the webpage, I uninstalled R
usr#ubuntu:/usr/lib/R/R-3.2.1$ R
The program 'R' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt install r-base-core
And I am fairly positive that "make" is installed:
usr#ubuntu:/usr/lib/R/R-3.2.1$ sudo apt-get install make
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
make is already the newest version (4.1-6).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
When I run
$ ./configure
$ make
I get the following (I am not sure what is normal and what is an error message). In addition, the following files are created: Makeconf.in, Makefile.fw, Makefile.in

I also tried following the instructions here: Installing older version of R, but the R version 3.2.1 is NOT listed in the directory (xenial).
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can finish installing this version of R? I appreciate the help - ahhn

Build R from source, please make sure to add the full path in prefix
./configure --prefix=<full path>/R3.2.1_OLDERVERSION --enable-R-shlib --with-blas --with-lapack

If everything went smoothly then you can see your current R version as 3.2.1 when you run R.
If you want to switch to another version of R then change the environment variable to your preferred version of R package in your account as follows:

udunits2.h not found!
If the udunits2 library is installed in a non-standard location, use:
--configure-args='--with-udunits2-lib=/usr/local/lib'
for example, if the library was not found, and/or
--configure-args='--with-udunits2-include=/usr/include/udunits2'
if the header was not found, replacing paths with appropriate values for your
installation. You can alternatively use the UDUNITS2_INCLUDE and UDUNITS2_LIBS
environment variables.
If udunits2 is not installed, please install it.
It is required for this package.
------------------------------------------
File udunits2.h exists in path:
$ls /path/apps/udunits/2.2.26/x86_64-linux-2.6-rhel6/include/:
converter.h udunits2.h udunits.h
Setting environment variable doesn't help too:
export UDUNITS2_INCLUDE="/path/apps/udunits/2.2.26/x86_64-linux-2.6-rhel6/include"
export UDUNITS2_LIB="/apps/udunits/2.2.26/x86_64-linux-2.6-rhel6/lib"
Any ideas why units fails to install?

configure: error: --with-readline=yes (default) and headers/libs are not
available
When I run the make command I am getting the following issue:
[root#sd-cd1a-b9e0 R-devel]# make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
Can anyone please help how to get rid of this issue?
Your ./configure command failed as you can see at the bottom of the log:
configure: error: --with-readline=yes (default) and headers/libs are not
available
Here's SO answer to the error above:
error: --with-readline=yes (default) and headers/libs are not available
Even though I am a bit late here but I think this is still a quite common problem. What you have seen is that R is complaining about missing dependencies. You need to install A LOT OF packages before you are able to compile it. Here is a full list of them:
https://github.com/Jiefei-Wang/Painless-R-compilation-and-installation-on-Ubuntu
If you are using Ubuntu this is just a matter of copy and paste. Otherwise, you may need to take some time and figure out how to install them on your machine.
I need your help solving this particular problem.
I am trying to install the Rgdal package, but I can't seem to be able to get past the installation. The output seems fairly normal at first (as far as I can tell).

And then it gives me a warning message:
/usr/bin/ld: warning: libhdf5.so.6, needed by /software/R-3.0.3 lib/libgdal.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)
Then it continues with a long list of undefined references:
/software/R-3.0.3/lib/libgdal.so: undefined reference to `H5Dread'
/software/R-3.0.3/lib/libgdal.so: undefined reference to `H5Dget_create_plist'

I would be eternally grateful for any help or suggestions as I don't really understand what went wrong. Looking this problem up did not yield any useful results.
