I would like to use the R packages RNetCDF and ncdf in Ubuntu.
When I try install.packages('RNetCDF') or install.packages('ncdf'), I get similar errors:
...
ncdf.c:3:20: fatal error: netcdf.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [ncdf.o] Error 1
ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘ncdf’
...
Warning message:
In install.packages("ncdf") :
installation of package ‘ncdf’ had non-zero exit status
The packages libnetcdf6 and netcdf-bin from the Ubuntu repository are installed. Do I need to do something else?
You need to install the -dev of those packages to get the headers that are required to compile the package. In this case, you need libnetcdf-dev, udunits-bin and libudunits2-dev
In my case, libudunits2-dev package was needed.
sudo apt-get install libudunits2-dev
Since I installed NetCDF from source, I had to manually specify the locations of lib and include folders
install.packages("/home/user/Downloads/RNetCDF_1.6.1-2.tar.gz",
repos = NULL,
type="source",
dependencies=FALSE,
configure.args="--with-netcdf-include=/usr/local/netcdf-4.2.1-build/include --with-netcdf-lib=/usr/local/netcdf-4.2.1-build/lib")
Just to clarify, since your initial issue is in R, and the fix is applied outside of R. I initially was trying to do
install.packages("libnetcdf-dev"), which didn't work.
instead, from outside of R: sudo apt-get install libnetcdf-dev
That fixed it for me.
In Ubuntu 20.04 LTS one can install the ncdf4 package (which supersedes ncdf), including all dependencies, with the bash command sudo apt install r-cran-ncdf4. Similarly for RNetCDF you can use sudo apt install r-cran-rnetcdf.

After install.packages("Rmpfr") I'm getting this error
configure: error: Header file mpfr.h not found; maybe use
--with-mpfr-include=INCLUDE_PATH
ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘Rmpfr’
I typed the suggestion --with-mpfr-include=INCLUDE_PATH into the terminal w/o success.
Look here: https://github.com/cran/Rmpfr
You first have to install the dependend libraries.
sudo apt-get install libmpfr-dev
sudo su - -c "R -e \"install.packages('Rmpfr', repos='http://cran.rstudio.com/')\""
It is also a better solution to install the R-Packages from the console, not inside R, since every user on the machine will have access to the package then. Otherwise it will just be in your personal library.
I need to install rvest package for R version 3.1.2 (2014-10-31)

Any ideas on how I could install R package rvest?
My system is Ubuntu 14.04 with R:3.2.3, and I had the same problem.
Then I checked err meg and tried to install library of libcurl4-openssl-dev and libxml2-dev:
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev
After installed, install.packages("rvest") was successful.
I needed dependencies such as Rcurl, XML, rvest, xml2, when I was trying to install tidyverse, DESeq2, RUVSeq in Rstudio Version 1.1.456 on a fresh installed Ubuntu 18.04. Anyway, there were a bunch of missing dependencies. This answer might fit better as a comment for Ubuntu 18.04, but I don't have that many reputation. So just trying to make a summary of solutions works for Ubuntu 18.04 here.
In the terminal, run:
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev
Then within Rstudio,
install.packages("xml2")
install.packages("rvest")
install.packages("tidyverse") # might need other dependencies installed in Rstudio
Got tidyverse!
In the terminal:
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev ## for RMySQL
Then within the Rstudio
source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("DESeq2")
biocLite('RUVSeq') ## might have messages as following
installation path not writeable, unable to update packages: cluster, foreign, MASS, Matrix, mgcv, nlme, survival
In the terminal:
sudo R ## give R the root permission
## in the R session within the terminal
pks <- c('cluster', 'foreign', 'MASS', 'Matrix', 'mgcv', 'nlme', 'survival')
install.packages(pks)
q()
That's my own experience. Hope this one has a good Generalizability.
I was able to build the stringi package as this:
install.packages('stringi', configure.args='--disable-cxx11')
My answer is definitely late to this question. Nevertheless, somebody may find it useful.
I run into the same problem so I run this command on the shell:
sudo apt-get upgrade pkg-config
It worked for me.
I have Ubuntu 10.x OS and I have installed R on it. I want to install rJava on R. For that when I am running installed.packages("rJava) command which is giving error
checking whether Java run-time works... Error: Could not find or load main class getsp
no
configure: error: Java interpreter '/usr/bin/java' does not work
ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘rJava’
* removing ‘/home/hduser/R/i486-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.10/rJava’
The downloaded packages are in
‘/tmp/Rtmp0tlBXn/downloaded_packages’
Warning message:
In install.packages("rJava") :

If I run system("java -version")
Then it showing same Java version which is given when I run Java -version command from base OS prompt. So it means no problem with Java which I can see reason in output of install package command? As suggested when I use
sudo apt-get install r-cran-rjava
Here also didnt get any luck
Please suggest
I just saw that you wrote installed.packages instead of install.packages, you have to use install.packages("rJava") to install it.
The description of the method you used (installed.packages) says: Find (or retrieve) details of all packages installed in the specified libraries.
Can you please try
install.packages("rJava")
library(rJava)
and tell me the output? (I'm pretty sure it will already work then).
in the terminal run sudo apt-get install default-jdk
then run sudo R CMD javareconf
after that you can continue in R or Rstudio install.packages("rJava")
I am trying to install sparkTable in R 3.1.0 which depends on Rglpk. I manually installed GPLK on the system and added the libs folder to LD_LIBRARY_PATH before going into R for the install.packages("sparkTable") procedure. I get this error during the installation process. Any ideas?
* installing *source* package ‘Rglpk’ ...
** package ‘Rglpk’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked

sudo apt-get install libglpk-dev
did the trick for me.
I had this problem and took a good bit of digging in the package to understand what was happening. If Rgplk can't compile its test program when installing, it does something weird, including this bizarre cd to nowhere. Assuming glpk-devel is installed, the reason it can't compile the test program is that it can't find the gplk header as it is in a non-standard directory.
Just set the environment variable CPATH=/usr/include/glpk
and the test program will compile, allowing the package install to proceed normally.
I had this problem too. The following steps solved this issue for me. My current setup:
OS: Scientifc Linux version 6.5 (on a High Performance Cluster Server)
local user, no root access.
GLPK was not installed
Install GLPK in a local directory:
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glpk/glpk-4.54.tar.gz
tar xfzv glpk-4.54.tar.gz
mkdir GLPK
cd glpk-4.54
./configure --prefix=/home/<username>/GLPK
make
make install
Install Rglpk (0.6-3):
cd ~
wget http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Rglpk_0.6-3.tar.gz
export LIBRARY_PATH=/home/<username>/GLPK/lib
R CMD INSTALL Rglpk_0.6-3.tar.gz
I landed on this page, because I could not update igraph under Windows 10/11, since igraph also requires glpk as per OP. Specifically:
igraph_glpk_support.h:36:10: fatal error: glpk.h: No such file or
directory #include <glpk.h>
^~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. make: *** [C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-4.1.1/etc/x64/Makeconf:238: feedback_arc_set.o] Error

restoring previous 'C:/Users/xxx/Documents/R/win-library/4.1/igraph' Warning
in install.packages : installation of package ‘igraph’ had non-zero
exit status
I am under Windows 11 (but would be same for Windows 10).
Simple resolution is suggested here:
start Rtools Bash (found in all apps, Rtools 4.0 in the Windows menu)
Run pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-glpk and confirm with yes (y)
Run pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-libxml2 and confirm with yes (y)
Updating igraph in Rstudio now leads to a clean
DONE (igraph)
(there is no need to install anything, add any path, etc... just the above 4 steps)
In ubuntu 14.04, all above doesn't work. the following however works, without the need of installing libglpk-dev using apt-get.
download the glpk package from gnu and extract it:
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glpk/glpk-4.55.tar.gz
tar xvf glpk-4.55.tar.gz
make a GLPK directory in your local path:
mkdir ~/GLPK
configure within glpk:
cd glpk-4.55
./configure --prefix=$HOME/GLPK
cd ..
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/GLPK/lib
export LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/GLPK/lib
export CPATH=$HOME/GLPK/include
download the Rglpk package from cran and extract it:
wget http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Rglpk_0.6-0.tar.gz
tar xvf Rglpk_0.6_0.tar.gz
move the glpk directory into Rglpk/src and rename it to GLPK:
mv glpk-4.55 Rglpk/src/GLPK
now you can install:
R CMD INSTALL Rglpk
now a bit of explanation of what's going on. The "src/Makevars.in" file in the Rglpk package contains a line of code to enter a non-existing directory 'GLPK' within the src/ folder:
(line 11 of Makevars.in)
GLPK.ts:
#(cd GLPK && make)
touch $#
this is where the problem arises. obviously the code is trying to build glpk within that directory for some unknown reasons. and the solution above is achieved simply by moving the downloaded (and configured) glpk directory there...
If you're on a Debian-based Linux distribution, run this to install GLTK:
sudo apt install libglpk-dev
If you're on MacOS, run this to install GLTK:
brew install gltk
Finally, install the R library:
install.packages("Rglpk")
On Centos, have sudo rights. None of the above worked, but had to install GLPK in /usr/local as suggested in this SO answer. Been trying to install it for about 3 hours fml
You must install glpk dependency first.
On macOS (via homebrew):
brew install glpk
or in RStudio (via homebrew):
system("brew install glpk")
It worked for me when I combined the answers from Simón Ramírez Amaya and shadowleaves:
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glpk/glpk-4.54.tar.gz
tar xfzv glpk-4.54.tar.gz
mkdir GLPK
cd glpk-4.54
./configure --prefix=$HOME/GLPK
make
make install
cd ..
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/GLPK/lib
export LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/GLPK/lib
export CPATH=$HOME/GLPK/include
wget https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Rglpk_0.6-4.tar.gz
R CMD INSTALL Rglpk_0.6-4.tar.gz
To load the library
dyn.load(file.path(Sys.getenv("HOME"), "GLPK", "lib", "libglpk.so"))
library(Rglpk)
The answer of Zhiying Cui is right, however, if your script has some special codes, such as foreach for parallel computing, it may raise an error.
A better way is as fellow
If your os is Centos, try
yum install glpk-devel
then just go to R or Rstudio server and
install.packages("Rglpk")
I am trying to install the package mvoutlier but following error occurs during installation:
install.packages("mvoutlier")
configure: error: missing required header GL/gl.h
ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘rgl’
* removing ‘/home/sam/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library /2.15/rgl’
ERROR: dependency ‘rgl’ is not available for package ‘compositions’

ERROR: dependency ‘compositions’ is not available for package ‘mvoutlier’
* removing ‘/home/sam/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.15/mvoutlier’
After that I have install the rgl package successfully, then I tried to install the compositions package then the again same error occurs. Then I have again tried to install the mvoutlier package the same error occurs.
Can anyone let me know how I can resolve this problem. Thanking you in advance.
I suspect you are running Ubuntu 12.04.I think you're going to find that this works for the GL/gl.h problem:
install these at the regular old terminal, ie pretend R doesn't exist for now:
libglu1-mesa-dev freeglut3-dev mesa-common-dev
You might get the following error later (in R) because of a tcl b****/gripe/complaint:
Error in structure(.External(.C_dotTcl, ...), class = "tclObj") :
[tcl] can't find package BWidget.
To fix this problem, if you have it:
sudo apt-get install bwidget
These are not R problems. They are OS problems!
I ran into the same issue in between others on a Ubuntu based Linux distro (Linux Mint). Here I will share the worklog I'd done to fix it.
The full fix was:
apt-get install libx11-dev mesa-common-dev libglu1-mesa-dev
Worklog
The first error was related to missing devel libraries of X11:
configure: error: X11 not found but required, configure aborted.
I fixed it installing:
apt-get install libx11-dev
However, after fix the issue, I felt into a new one like this one:
configure: error: missing required header GL/gl.h
ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘rgl’
I checked the library on the repository:
# dpkg -S /usr/include/GL/gl.h
dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/include/GL/gl.h
To fix this issue, install :
apt-get install mesa-common-dev
Then, I was prompt by a new error:
configure: error: missing required header GL/glu.h
To fix the issue, install the libglu1 devel libraries:
apt-get install libglu1-mesa-dev
configure: error: missing required header GL/gl.h
normally means you haven't installed the -dev version of a package, in this case GL.
On my system, GL/gl.h is owned by mesa-common-dev
$ dpkg -S /usr/include/GL/gl.h
mesa-common-dev: /usr/include/GL/gl.h
which would have been installed with apt-get install mesa-common-dev or via some GUI magic.
On Ubuntu 16.04, I solved this problem (during rgl package installation) with sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa-dev
the current fedora package manager will fail to find these libraries as shown. Instead you need to do
sudo dnf install mesa-libGL-devel mesa-libGLU-devel
Based on the work breakdown by 3manuek, I figured only the libglu1-mesa-dev library was needed in ubuntu 16.04 LTS, and it worked.
On, RHEL, sudo yum install mesa-libGLU-devel worked.
I encountered an equivalent problem when testing a package that required 'rgl' on Travis. The problem is that the operating system lacks the necessary GL files on which the 'rgl' package draws.
A thread at R-forge offers the ingenious solution of running apt-get install r-cran-rgl, which will pull in any of the GL dependencies not already present on the operating system. This seems simpler than second-guessing which specific dependency is missing, and it remains possible to install a more recent version of 'rgl' if required.
