Unfortunately, Linux Mint 19.3 is based on Ubuntu 18.04, which only has NLopt 2.4.2, insufficient for the latest version of nloptr (it wants 2.7.0 or newer), so in order to install the latest version of the package, you do need this step to succeed. > Uninstalled the package and tried reinstalling.

Installing one of the older versions from https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/nloptr/ should be a safe bet. You can also use `sudo apt install libnlopt-dev` to skip the NLopt build step once you find an old enough version of nloptr that's okay with NLopt 2.4.2. I'm not sure how this error could have happened, but if you send the full installation log to <https://github.com/astamm/nloptr/issues>, they may be able to figure it out. -- Best regards, Ivan ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
