I cannot install qpcR package, using this command in R:

install.packages("qpcR")

Apparently, everything looks fine initially:

Installing package into ‘/home/emanuel/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
trying URL 'https://cloud.r-project.org/src/contrib/qpcR_1.4-1.tar.gz'
Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 4303726 bytes (4.1 MB)
==================================================
downloaded 4.1 MB

* installing *source* package ‘qpcR’ ...
** package ‘qpcR’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
** libs
gcc -std=gnu99 -I/usr/share/R/include -DNDEBUG      -fpic  -g -O2 -fstack-      protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -g  -c registerDynamicSymbol.c -o registerDynamicSymbol.o

And then things starts to going wrong:

usr/bin/ld: cannot find -llapack
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lblas
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
/usr/share/R/share/make/shlib.mk:6: recipe for target 'qpcR.so' failed
make: *** [qpcR.so] Error 1
ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘qpcR’
* removing ‘/home/emanuel/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4/qpcR’
Warning in install.packages :
installation of package ‘qpcR’ had non-zero exit status

The downloaded source packages are in
‘/tmp/RtmpOPiQkB/downloaded_packages’

Additional (maybe) relevant info:

  • Before the lines presented above, I was having trouble with another qpcR dependence, the rgl package, and I solved trying all the suggestions from another question: "Error in installing rgl package".
  • I made a brief search about: "-llpack", "-lblas", "qpcR.so" .Unfortunately nothing seems (to me at least) to be related to my specific problem.
  • I using Mint with these specifications: Linux version 4.8.0-53-generic (buildd@lgw01-56) (gcc version 5.4.0 20160609 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.4) ) #56~16.04.1-Ubuntu
  • R version 3.4.4
  • R studio Version 1.1.453

Thanks in advance for any help!
