Cannot install tmap tmaptools, Error unable to load shared object lwgeom.so': libproj.so.19

Question

I cannot install the R packages tmaptools and tmap in ubuntu linux, I have followed the instructions in

https://geocompr.github.io/post/2020/installing-r-spatial-ubuntu/

I installed sf and checked:

library(sf)
Linking to GEOS 3.10.1, GDAL 3.4.0, PROJ 8.2.0; sf_use_s2() is TRUE
Warning messages:
1: replacing previous import ‘lifecycle::last_warnings’ by ‘rlang::last_warnings’ when loading ‘pillar’ 
2: replacing previous import ‘lifecycle::last_warnings’ by ‘rlang::last_warnings’ when loading ‘tibble’ 

When I try to instal tmaptools the following error appears

> install.packages("tmaptools")

I have already removed the package and installed it again, but I always get the same error.

Answer 1

Browsing the tmap issues on github I found the answer:

install lwgeom package, so

install.packages("lwgeom")

Solved the problem.
