Cannot build R package “png” Fedora 20

2020-06-09 09:47发布

I am trying to build the R package png, the repo says that libpng needs to be available.

I run a Linux Fedora 20 distro

Looks like I have it...

[root@localhost bin]# yum install libpng
Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit
Package 2:libpng-1.6.3-3.fc20.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

But when I try to install it:

> install.packages("png")
Installing package into ‘/home/statquant/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/3.0’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

For some R packages you need the corresponding development library to successfully install the R package. In your case this should do what you need

# Do the following in your terminal (not in an R session)
yum install libpng-devel

afterwards you should be able to install the R package

# Do the following in the R console (during an R session)
install.packages("png")

I had the same problem on Ubuntu (16.04) and solved it using

sudo apt-get install libpng-dev
