[R-sig-Debian] Installing TMAP in R Studio on Linux Mint

[Abed W. Ayyad]

Dear Dirk et al,

What I've tried is to install libgeos-dev:
sudo apt-get install libgeos-dev

Which gives me, even after adding the ubuntugis-unstable PPA:
E: Unable to locate package libgeos-dev

So I'm a little stuck at the moment. I'm trying to install TMAP on
R-Studio, which requires a number of packages all of which rely on the
libgeos-dev being in place, and I can't seem to find it.

Many thanks again and in advance,

Abed
