Typically, when an R package wraps a third-party library, you need a
development version of it installed in order to install that package
from source.

If you're running R from the Linux Mint repos, try to install
r-cran-nloptr from Linux Mint repositories. If you don't, or have some
trouble installing the package, install the libnlopt-dev Linux Mint
package before trying to install the nloptr R package.
