error installing a package in R pertaining stringr package [duplicate] - linux

This question already has an answer here:
Error installing r packages (Linux Mint 17.1) "error: C preprocessor "g++ -E" fails sanity check"

Closed 7 years ago.
I have problem with installing packages in RStudio.
I'm using Linux Mint and have already installed libgdal-dev and libproj-dev.
Here's the text in the terminal:

Any ideas where the problem is?

It might help to update your R version. The current release is version 3.2.2
Check the installation guidelines here.

Maybe installing the g++ could help
sudo apt-get install g++

How to install 'readline' with Cabal on Windows

I would like to install 'readline' using Cabal on Windows. When running the command it is saying that readline isn't found. Cabal is up to date.

cabal install readline

What could be the reason for this?
If you are using an msys distro that includes pacman (the one that ships with the windows haskell platform installer should be such a distro) then you can use pacman to install the readline library, and this should let you link against it.
Also note that ghc ships with the haskeline library, which is a pure-haskell replacement for readline that is more portable.

what I have to do to solve this?
Say your are on OSX
$ brew install readline
[...]
For compilers to find this software you may need to set:
LDFLAGS: -L/usr/local/opt/readline/lib
CPPFLAGS: -I/usr/local/opt/readline/include
Now you know where the library got installed you can set some environmental variables that ./configure will pick up
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/opt/readline/lib \
CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/opt/readline/include \
stack install readline --extra-include-dirs=/usr/local/opt/readline/include --extra-lib-dirs=/usr/local/opt/readline/lib

Install Haskell terminfo in Windows

I'm trying to install terminfo cabal package on my Windows Cygwin installation, but it fails because of curses headers:

At the same time, NCurses is installed correctly (/usr/include/ncursesw and ncurses).
If before compilation I explicitly add that sub-folder to GCC, it proceeds

re-running cabal produced another error:

configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-compiler, --with-gcc
cabal.exe: Missing dependency on a foreign library:
* Missing (or bad) header file: ncurses.h
* Missing C library: ncursesw
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that
provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is
already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags
--extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is.
If the header file does exist, it may contain errors that are caught by the C
compiler at the preprocessing stage. In this case you can re-run configure
with the verbosity flag -v3 to see the error messages.
Failed to install terminfo-0.3.2.5
cabal.exe: Error: some packages failed to install:
terminfo-0.3.2.5 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
So I tried cabal install terminfo --extra-lib-dirs=/lib/ncursesw, but then I realized that cabal is a windows app, so I've also tried --extra-lib-dirs=c:/cygwin/lib/ncursesw
In the end, final solution is as follows:
Install Cygwin and ncursesw-devel package there
Run cygwin and configure GCC:
$ export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include/ncursesw
Since C:\cygwin\usr\include\ncursesw\ncurses.h is a soft-reference in Cygwin, you should manually replace this file with curses.h from the same folder
From the same Cygwin terminal you can now start Cabal (it's a Windows program!):
$ cabal install terminfo --extra-lib-dirs=c:/cygwin/lib --extra-include-dirs=c:/cygwin/usr/include/ncursesw --extra-include-dirs=c:/cygwin/usr/include
So, the library was installed. But when I try to actually use that function, ghc complains:
Loading package terminfo-0.3.2.5 ... linking ... ghc.exe: c:/cygwin/lib\libncursesw.a: unknown symbol `__imp____ctype_ptr__'

problems with ./configure for libtorrent on linux

Hell I have been having an extremely tough time installing libtorrent and am unsure what the problems are. I have seen plenty similar errors online but the solutions were not helpful and I am pretty sure the error message is just too vague for comparison.
When I run ./configure I get

You need to install libboost-system.
If you are using Debian/Ubuntu, use apt-get as follows.
$ apt-get install libboost-system-dev
You may also need to install ...
$ apt-get install libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-thread-dev
The easiest way to install all the dependencies is with apt-get.
sudo apt-get build-dep python-libtorrent
I know this is a bit old, but to solve your OpenSSL problem you need to install the OpenSSL libraries with sudo apt-get install libssl-dev.
For CentOS users, you will want to install boost-devel.
# yum install boost-devel
But I still got the same error. Just want to point out one more thing, the CentOS 6.4 I work with had an old gcc compiler:
# g++ --version
g++ (GCC) 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-3)
Copyright (C) 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO
warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
Installing a newer version of gcc helped me to get rid of that particular error. I used g++ (GCC) 4.8.2 version and this time calling the following command worked:
# ./configure --with-boost-libdir=/usr/lib64
After this point you might still run into not finding openssl headers like the OP posted here, this post will help to overcome the error. You may have to install openssl-devel (for CentOS) or libssl-dev (for Debian), or you can run with
# ./configure --with-boost-libdir=/usr/lib64 --without-ssl
If you have openssl headers installed in your system, you don't need to use --with-openssl flag, or at least I didn't need to use it.
Although this is old post, hope it will help someone else like me.
To avoid OpenSSL issues you can build "libtorrent-rasterbar" disabling OpenSSL encryption.
For instance:
./configure --disable-debug --disable-encryption --prefix=/opt/libtorrent-rasterbar
And then "make" + "make install"
Regards
The accepted answer didn't work for me. What did work was editing the configure script file and removing those lines from it:
if test -z "$BOOST_SYSTEM_LIB"; then :
as_fn_error $? "Boost.System library not found. Try using --with-boost-system=lib" "$LINENO" 5
fi
Those lines seemed to check that the BOOST_SYSTEM_LIB environment variable exists and is not empty.
For Arch users (ex. Manjaro) install the boost pkg from pacman. Search for "boost" and install from Official Repo(extra).

How can I get Haskell readline installing under Cygwin?

cabal.exe: Missing dependencies on foreign libraries:

This problem can usually be solved by installing the system packages that
provide these libraries (you may need the "-dev" versions). If the libraries
are already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the
flags --extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where they are.
cabal.exe: Error: some packages failed to install:

ExitFailure 1
I have readline.h and whatnot, and clearly it seems to find them. The lack of HsReadline.h being an issue seems strange: isn't that part of the package I'm trying to install?
Any advice on how to get this working would be appreciated. I've spent days mucking around trying to get this to work, whether under gnuWin32 readline, MinGW, or cygwin.
I'm going to venture a guess that what's throwing Cygwin off is the DOS/Windows-style path: "C:\no_spaces\cygwin\usr\include"
Try navigating to these files in the Cygwin shell. It'll probably look something like "/cygdrive/c/no_spaces/cygwin/usr/include"
The message about HsReadline.h is probably a red herring. The real issue is that Cabal can't find the underlying dev library to compile against.
