I tried to install mclust package R in RStudio using different ways

install.packages("mclust")
devtools::install_github("cran/mclust")
biocLite('mclust')

but I get this error:

* installing *source* package ‘mclust’ ...

I ran this command sudo apt-get install gfortran to install gfortran, but it said gfortran is already the newest version (4:5.3.1-1ubuntu1).

Can anyone help me out? Many thanks!

    Try `sudo apt-get install r-base-dev`. See also https://stackoverflow.com/a/51364823/786542 – Tung Jan 06 '19 at 06:40
  • Even more relevant, though same answer: https://stackoverflow.com/q/6302209/6646912 (the important line in your output which hints on the problem is `/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgfortran`) – krassowski Jan 11 '19 at 17:21
