I try to use MonetDBLite for R to analyze survey data for free on an Ubuntu 14.04 OS.

Installing MonetDBLite from source via

install.packages("MonetDBLite",
                 repos=c("http://dev.monetdb.org/Assets/R/",
                         "http://cran.rstudio.com/"),
                 type="source")

results in the following error.

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcurl
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -luuid

As it turns out

  • R needs to be above version 3.2 and
  • the following packages need to be installed: libcurl4-openssl-dev liblzma-dev uuid-dev

Credit goes to Hannes Mühleisen for basically sorting this out.
