unable to install rvest package

Question

I need to install rvest package for R version 3.1.2 (2014-10-31)

I get these errors:

    checking whether the C++ compiler supports the long long type...         


        

Answer 1

My system is Ubuntu 14.04 with R:3.2.3, and I had the same problem.

Then I checked err meg and tried to install library of libcurl4-openssl-dev and libxml2-dev:

sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev

sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev

After installed, install.packages("rvest") was successful.
