I am using R 3.3.3 on Debian/Linux 8 and I am having trouble installing the package httpuv, which is a dependency for another package I want to use. The installing error message is shown below. It seems like there are problems with libuv, but I am not sure about this.
How can I figure out where the problem is and how to fix it?
