[R-sig-Debian] Can't install package tidyverse on Debian 10 stable

Sat Jul 24 01:31:13 CEST 2021

Hello,

I am able to install the tidyverse package on a computer with Windows
OS, but not on Debian 10 stable. (I am new to R and RStudio and
somewhat new to Debian.)

I have the latest R and RStudio. While I easily install the packages
for our workshop, the tidyverse is not getting installed.

The more detailed output is at the very end of this message, but in
short, the problem seems to start while installing the package curl,
which is part of tidyverse:

----------------------

* installing *source* package ‘curl’ ...

** package ‘curl’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked

** using staged installation

Package libcurl was not found in the pkg-config search path.

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libcurl.pc'

to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

No package 'libcurl' found

Package libcurl was not found in the pkg-config search path.

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libcurl.pc'

to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

No package 'libcurl' found

Using PKG_CFLAGS=

Using PKG_LIBS=-lcurl

----------------------

When I try to install libcurl, I get:

----------------------------

install.packages("libcurl")

Installing package into ‘/home/luben/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.1’

(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

Warning in install.packages :

  package ‘libcurl’ is not available for this version of R

A version of this package for your version of R might be available
elsewhere,

see the ideas at

https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/R-admin.html#Installing-packages

------------------------------

Another suggestions is to install libcurl4-openssl-dev, but when I try
to, I get:

-----------------------------

> install.packages("libcurl4-openssl-dev")

Installing package into ‘/home/luben/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.1’

Here is my session info:

And below is the full output with all the errors when trying to
tidyverse. I tried installing it on Debian 11 Testing, but no luck
there either, although the errors were different. 
Thank you in advance for your help.
