[R-sig-Debian] Installing sjPlot in R 3.4.4 on Ubuntu 16.04LTS

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

I see a plain package error:

   In file included from simple.cpp:2:0:
   /home/drz/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4/TMB/include/TMB.hpp:53:23:
   fatal error: Eigen/Dense: No such file or directory
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   compilation terminated.
   /usr/lib/R/etc/Makeconf:168: recipe for target 'simple.o' failed
   make: *** [simple.o] Error 1

Maybe talk to the TMB maintainer?

The good news is that you can TMB (and more) pre-built from Michael's PPA.
Here I launch a quick docker container I have with his PPA pre-set:

edd using rob:~$ docker run --rm -ti rocker/r-apt:trusty bash
root using 7f81af56c277:/# apt-get update 2>&1 > /dev/null
W: Size of file /var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_trusty-security_multiverse_binary-amd64_Packages.gz is not what the server reported 4718 4727
root using 7f81af56c277:/# apt-cache policy r-cran-sjplot
N: Unable to locate package r-cran-sjplot
root using 7f81af56c277:/# apt-cache policy r-cran-tmb
r-cran-tmb:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1.7.14-1cran1ppa0trusty0
  Version table:
     1.7.14-1cran1ppa0trusty0 0
        500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/marutter/c2d4u/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
root using 7f81af56c277:/# 

So version 1.7.14 of TMB is there.  I can install the first half of your list
from .deb packages:

   ‘TMB’,‘blme’, ‘arm’, ‘effects’,

but the remainder would come from source (apart from lme4)

   ‘ggeffects’, ‘glmmTMB’, ‘lme4’, ‘merTools’, ‘sjstats’

and would pull quite a tail of other packages so I did not proceed.
