Probably something went wrong earlier in the build when compiling
the Matrix package. However it's much easier to install R form the binaries:

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:marutter/rrutter3.5 sudo apt-get
update sudo apt-get install r-base

Thanks, after a discussion with Dirk on r-sig-debian I did just that.
The reason I compiled R from source was that I had some problems with the binary install but without the ppa:marutter. With it everything works.


If you really want to build from source, have a look at which flags and dependencies are used in the r-base source package on Debian/Ubuntu.

I certainly will be able to do that (it has "always" worked seamlessly for me, don't understand what happened this time. Maybe the upgrade to 18.04), so I will have a look.

Many thanks, Göran
