[R-sig-Debian] gcc: error: SHLIB_LIBADD: No such file or directory

Hi,

well, if you mean the CRAN repositories by "the deb/Ubuntu way", this is 
failure is because there are no arm binaries on CRAN for Ubuntu.

Your problem may still be related to locale settings:

              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Did you check if your locale is really available on your system and has been 
generated by locale-gen?

Kind regards,
