I'm trying to install gganimate on R 3.4.4. If I try devtools::install_github('thomasp85/gganimate'), I get:

ERROR: dependencies ‘transformr’, ‘sf’, ‘gifski’ are not available for package ‘gganimate’

Attempting to install each of them leads to a chain of failed dependency installations. sf tells me ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘units’. Units tells me If udunits2 is not installed, please install it. udunits2 tells me `ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘udunits2’.

And so on. If I try to install the other packages, I get similar issues and I have not encountered this before while installing an R package.

Is there something more general that I'm missing?

EDIT: The entire udunits2 installation reads as follows:

Installing package into ‘/home/arvcondor/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4’

     If the udunits2 library is installed in a non-standard location,
     use --configure-args='--with-udunits2-lib=/usr/local/lib' for example,
     or --configure-args='--with-udunits2-include=/usr/include/udunits2'
     replacing paths with appropriate values for your installation.
     You can alternatively use the UDUNITS2_INCLUDE and UDUNITS2_LIB
     environment variables.
     If udunits2 is not installed, please install it.
     It is required for this package.

  • Please provide the entire stack for relevant errors. `udunits2` error has to have more which should be more informative. – Roman Luštrik Aug 27 '18 at 05:02
  • @RomanLuštrik Thought it might be able to be answered without it so I didn't want to clog up the question with unneeded code, but here you go, thanks a bunch – snapcrack Aug 27 '18 at 05:04

    Got it, didn't realize it all hinged on the udunits2 package. I have everything installed now, thanks. – snapcrack Aug 27 '18 at 05:39
