[R] Problem installing Rcmdr on version 4.1.2...

[Brian Lunergan]

Hi folks:

Running R 4.1.2 on Linux Mint 19.3. Tried to install Rcmdr, but when it
tried to install nloptr I got the following as it seemed to trip over
Cmake. Bit lengthy but here's what was spit out.

* installing *source* package ‘nloptr’ ...

Usage: cmake --build <dir> [options] [-- [native-options]]
Options:
  <dir>          = Project binary directory to be built.
  --target <tgt> = Build <tgt> instead of default targets.
                   May only be specified once.
  --config <cfg> = For multi-configuration tools, choose <cfg>.
  --clean-first  = Build target 'clean' first, then build.
                   (To clean only, use --target 'clean'.)
  --use-stderr   = Ignored.  Behavior is default in CMake >= 3.0.
  --             = Pass remaining options to the native tool.
CMake Error: The source directory
"/tmp/RtmpP4rvt0/R.INSTALL360c3be2694c/nloptr/src/nlopt" does not exist.

I have cmake on mint in the current edition, but when I try to install
it in R it fires as not available for 4.1.2. Is there a version out
there that will work with 4.1.2? Where would I find it and how would I
install it? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Regards...
