I'm wanting to install lmtest's source code. I tried the following, and got an error. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. 

> install.packages("https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/lmtest_0.9-34.tar.gz", repo=NULL, type="source")

  • `make: gfortran-4.8: No such file or directory` This probably is leading to error. Make a folder and try to re-install – user5249203 Dec 08 '16 at 18:46

lmtest depends on the package car. A related question has been posted previously about issues installing car. OP responded with additional details on resolving the issue.

One of the issues is that gfortran is not available which is a system package. In my experience the "non-zero exit status" has been because the package relies on a system package that isn't available.
