Installation of package ‘forecast’ had non-zero exit status

问题

With R version 3.2.3 (2015-12-10) on centOS I am trying to install.packages('forecast')

I get this:

install.packages('forecast')
Installing package into ‘/usr/lib64/R/library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

I tried every solution to fix this like install package from source indicate the dependency = TRUE, etc., but nothing works.

sessionInfo() give this output

On UBUNTU 18.04 I got the following

Configuration failed because libcurl was not found. Try installing: * deb: libcurl4-openssl-dev (Debian, Ubuntu, etc) * rpm: libcurl-devel (Fedora, CentOS, RHEL) * csw: libcurl_dev (Solaris)

I installed the package libcurl14-openssl-dev using synaptic, that solved the problem.

Install devtools. Most of the time the problem in installing R packages is that these tools are not there. Once this is installed, the zero exit error goes away.

install.packages('devtools')
