库中的错误（tidyverse）：没有名为'tidyverse'的包

Question

I am trying to install tidyverse package in order to use gather function in my script. I am getting the following message every time I try to install the package:

* installing *source* package ‘curl’ ...
** package ‘curl’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
Package libcurl was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libcurl.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

The downloaded source packages are in
    ‘/tmp/RtmpAkUxg4/downloaded_packages’

I have no idea what all that means and I could not solve it. Do you have any idea how to solve this?

Answer 1

I'd put this in a comment as well but it doesn't work in that format. I'm kinda hoping the actual comment has the solution so this question can be marked as a duplicate.

The output actually did give instructions, but it's all smushed together and somewhat foreboding (which is somewhat appropriate given the proximity to Halloween).

If libcurl is already installed, check that 'pkg-config' is in your
PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH contains a libcurl.pc file. If pkg-config
is unavailable you can set INCLUDE_DIR and LIB_DIR manually via:
R CMD INSTALL --configure-vars='INCLUDE_DIR=... LIB_DIR=...'

says you need to know which linux distribution you have and install the libcurl OS package for it before trying to install the tidyverse.

While you're at it, make sure you have the openssl OS package installed as well.
