Does your computer have the package `build-essential` installed? The
specific error you're getting is:

```
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/tmp/RtmpSv852d/R.INSTALL521c32e70e07/stringi':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details
```
