[R-pkg-devel] Fixing travis build fail due to fftwtools fatal error (fftw3.h: No such file or directory)

[Karim Rahim]

 sudo apt-get install -y fftw3

Then try again.

Let me know if it doesn't work.

Cheers!
Karim

And it makes sense, because if we look at its DESCRIPTION file, we can see that it has fftw3 as a SystemRequirements. In other words, it needs to be installed on Travis before you can run the checks on your package.
